    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.

[Resolved] ban appeal

plonker

Noob
In-Game name: plonker
Time of Ban: 09-15-24 00:52
Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:121452449
Reason for Ban: Inappropriate Spray
Additional Comments: This is just a painting by Egon Schiele (Auf dem Bauch liegender weiblicher Akt), publicly available at the Albertina Gallery, no more explicit than any work of classical art (unless you despise expressionism) or even tf2 calendar lady. But that's fine by me.
 
Thank you for your appeal, we'll review the details and get back to you with 2-3 days.
 
After reviewing the details, you were banned for the attached spray. The painting spray was not the reason for the ban and has since been unblocked. Before proceeding further, I would like you to provide an explanation for what the joke in this meme is intended to be.

Half a year ago this joke was about combination of the incompatible in tf2 community, when there were a lot of these sprays. Since all questionable symbols are repressented only in a caricature way, i wasn't thinking it violates any rules, but whatever, spray was already blocked.
 
Thank you for your patience. After reviewing the details of your ban, we have decided to unban you, since the spray is old and has not been used recently. Your ban was issued due to the use of Nazi imagery in the aforementioned spray, which violates German law and results in an instant perm ban under Rule 3.
No hate speech or harassment is allowed. This includes (but is not limited to) racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, bullying, and use of racial, ethnic, and anti-LGBT slurs. Likewise, glorification of nazis, or use of nazi imagery and symbols, is grounds for an immediate permanent ban
However, considering the circumstances, you're being given benefit of the doubt in this scenario. As such, your ban will be removed from the record, but you are now considered to be inexcusably aware of our rules. Should you be caught breaking the rules again, this perm ban will be re-instated.
