    Server
    All-Trade 3

    Why were you banned?
    I have no idea. I haven't played TF2 in weeks and as far as I recall, the last time I was there, I was simply trading items and I left. I've started playing again now, though.

    Why should Harpoon grant your appeal?
    I enjoy All-Trade 3 an immense amount. It's extremely fun, it has many friendly people, and I can't recall doing anything wrong. I think this is a wrongful ban, with no reason stated when I attempt to join, and this ban should be removed.

    Hello @Bonzo the Artist ,

    Your appeal is under review.

    The reason why you were banned is because you were using racist remarks, which Harpoon does not approve and has rules against. Care explaining why you used them?

    I can't recall using racist remarks. In a blind rage I maybe might have, out of pure anger at someone or something, but I can't remember at all. If it doesn't bother you, could you please attach a chat log to your next post? It might help me to understand this situation better.

    You did indeed use racial remarks, especially using the N word multiple times (and at one point, calling someone a curry N word).

    I find this highly inappropriate and very disappointing. When you join the Harpoon servers for the first time, you are greeted with a prompt that states the rules, and you have to agree to it to be on our servers. That plus the signs at spawn list the rules. Claiming 'blind rage' to cause you to use racial remarks also is unacceptable.

    I remember now, alright, I did use racist remarks, but I regret it very much. I get frustrated extremely easily (I'm not making excuses pal) and I, albeit not an alt-right follower or racist, will forget myself and start cursing people who agitate or irritate me with the intent of annoying someone to the point of leaving. But there is no excuse for my behavior, and I'm extremely sorry that this situation has had to surface. I normally never get as angry so as to use the most racial of racial slurs over and over, and I'm extremely sorry. I do hope you can forgive me, and I shall see to it that I follow the rules and, most certainly, never get as agitated as I was at this situation's time or use racial slurs. I enjoy the server an immense amount and I, for the third time, am extremely sorry and hope that I am able to rejoin the community within Harpoon All-Trade 3.

    Hello @Bonzo the Artist,

    As you may know we are extremely against anything that has to do with any racist remarks at any kind. We do not think using racial slurs is an excuse of blind rage especially if you have used it multiple times.

    Appeal Declined.
