• Please DO NOT post in a ban contest thread unless you are:
    1. The person banned or posting a ban request.
    2. Senior Staff or part of the Ban Appeal Team.
    This is necessary to keep threads on-topic and uncluttered. Thank you.

    If you don't know why you were banned, you probably broke one of our server rules. Most bans are temporary except in the case of gross violations or repeated infractions.

Additional Comments:
Hello,
At the end of a frustrating round, I got angry and said a slur over voice chat, and rage quit. I knew immediately what I did was wrong. It was a complete lapse of my own judgement, and I deeply regret my actions. If it is possible, I would like to be offered grace just this once and have my ban lifted; I would even accept a permanent mute if it means I can play on the servers again. I'm deeply sorry for having offended anyone, and my actions have lead me to reflect upon my behavior online. This is my first and only offense in game. I will make a sincere effort to not abuse my mic and say harmful words to others.
I renounce racism and hatred, and I will promise that this will never be an issue from me again. This was just a one time slip up from me and I promise it will never happen again. This is my favorite game and have been playing since it was a mod in 2019. If you can find the heart to forgive me just this once, I would be deeply grateful.

I appreciate all the work the staff puts in to moderating these servers and keeping the environment fun and respectful.

My sincerest apologies.
 
Thank you for your appeal. We will review the details and get back to you shortly, usually within 2-3 day.s
 
Thank you for your appeal. After reviewing the details of your appeal, we have decided to approve your appeal with caveats. Your ban was due to repeatedly calling people slurs which was an established pattern of behavior, so we can't just let you off with a warning. Rather, we'll be shortening your ban to one month (so 2 weeks from now) rather than a permanent ban. However, this will be done with the understanding that if you are found to have broken our rules again, your permanent ban will be reinstated.
If you agree to these terms, please say so and we'll get right on that.
 
These terms are acceptable. Thank you kindly for your mercy. I promise this will not be an issue from me ever again.
