Additional Comments:
I was banned because I allegedly said to carpet bomb Donbass. The only thing you could hear from me was: “Goyda!” and “I bless your bullets for crits in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” I couldn’t say anything bad about Donbass, because I myself am Russian and cannot wish for, let alone say, the desire for the death of someone in Eastern Ukraine. There was a Ukrainian on the server who could say this, but I can’t confirm that he said it himself. The only thing that happened was innocent jokes about Pushilin, the current head of Donbass and the head of the Ukrainian fraudulent pyramid MMM earlier. Most likely, the moderator confused me with him.

Hi there,

Your ban appeal has been received, we'll review the details and get back to you shortly, typically within 2-3 days.

Based on the information available to me, you were banned for a combination of reasons:

1. Using slurs on our servers
2. Being disrespectful towards staff
3. sad something about "burn Donbas". I don't have the full context based on the summary but I am sure our Russian-speaking staff would be happy to provide a play-by-play translation if asked.
4. Your history of 2 prior infractions with us, one for previous use of slurs and one for repeated violations of our rules against pornographic sprays.

As this is your third rule violation in a little over a year and you have previously received punishment for similar behaviours, what could have been a temporary ban was upgraded to permanent, per our posted policies on third infractions.

Your ban will not be overturned at this time and will be eligible for re-appeal one year from the date it was issued, namely August 14, 2025. At that time you may file a new appeal and at that point we will re-evaluate your plea and consider offering a second chance.
