    Description
    I was banned because apparently sharia law is applied on your servers.

    Seriously, I was banned for repeatedly saying that:

    ALLAH ACKBAR

    I have read the log and the admin did warn me; I didn't pay attention to the chat so I didn't know. When I got kicked for the reason "Ignoring admins" I thought that it was Nipples (a player with whom I had a friendly "sniper" rivalry). But he is not an admin, anyway. I thought he was trying to mess around.

    Because how in the world, could "Allah Ackbar" be considered offensive. Right?
    Especially when there are two blatant grammar mistakes. (It is spelled Allahu Akhbar in arabic).

    If I said "Alleluia" or "Geez" or "Holy shit" or "GOD NO!" would I have been banned?

    Anyway. Apparently "******" is offensive as well. Which is kind of mind-boggling since it only is an insult in north-america. So that's your personal interpretation of the word.

    I don't regret saying either things, especially the former. The latter, I could understand that some might consider it unnecessary or insulting. And I won't say it again if that's really a problem.

    But the former? C'MON. Blasphemy laws are ok in Saudi Arabia, Hungary or some backward regressive ultra-orthodox countries. Not on an online tf2 server. It's not even blasphemy. I mean, there is no interpretation - if you know islam - where that would be inappropriate.

    Please provide any and all evidence

    Please add any miscellaneous information we should know
    I can't hear shit. I watch The Office while playing.

    I get that it's my responsibility yada yada but c'mon. In the kick message the admin could have explained that I said X or infringed rule Y and I would have understood.

    Or even just used the chat to explain what I did wrong.

    Also, Jim Alpert was proposing to Pam so I was quite distracted.

    Is there any private information you wish to provide?

    Not regretting what you've done for getting banned in the first place then creating an appeal isn't really the best way to go.

    I don't think it should be a problem, especially if I stop the "problematic" behaviour.

    It is a gaming server, not a political assembly, what matters is how people act; not what they think.

    It is kind of your own fault (NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DID, I TOTALLY GET YOU ON THIS!) for not knowing that some/a lot of the admins can be vary serious and harsh about what you said. It's kind of stupid but you have to deal with Ugh! I hate saying this "other peoples opinions". It's bullshit I know because I was perma banned on accident for "not listening to admins". So you may or may not get an appeal.
    p.s: This message is probably pointless.

    Here are some other things you've said:
    And hundreds of similar comments here: http://stats.harpoongaming.com/player_histories/chat/371638

    Your ban was for one day, but given the commentary you've said over the last few days, I've opted to permanently ban you from our servers.
