    Why were you banned?
    Racism

    Why should Harpoon grant your appeal?
    I don't play on your servers very often and when I do its with my friends HellaSaint and TinTin. I probably at some point used a few inappropriate words but I never directly targeted any specific players with harmful meaning. Furthermore the ban was administered yesterday (February 6th 2017) which I don't understand as I haven't played your servers at all recently (a few days I believe). I should be unbanned because my language shouldn't warrant a perma ban, it should have been maybe a month or more of comm block so I can make sure not to make the same mistakes again. Finally I apologize for my behavior and would be grateful to have my ban removed, I would take no issue with a comm block as I do deserve it. Thanks for taking the time to read my appeal.

    Hello @Jim

    Racism, even as a joke, isn't allowed in our servers. Racism is NOT a joke, and is not appropriate or funny in any way. When you first join the server, you have to agree to a set of rules in order to play on our servers. Furthermore, the rules are in each of the spawnrooms. You used the terms, and even if you consider it to be "not racist" and a "joke", you used them.

    @Sparky I realize and understand this which is why I was so quick to come appeal and apologize for my actions. This is also why I ask that the ban become an extended comm block as the issue pertained to comms specifically. Again I would be grateful if the ban could at the very least not be permanent.

    I banned you permanently for repeated use of the n word in conversation, your usage was less severe than the other bans I gave out yesterday. If you're willing to avoid using such language in the future, I'll downgrade your ban.

    Yes I completely agree to no longer use obscene language in chat. Thank you for being kind enough to down size the ban.
