Hello yesterday I got a perm ban and I have no Idea why the reason says racism/Hate speech but I never typed anything or said anything even considered Hate speech if I did somehow say anything rude I apologize for my actions and will not do it again. If I do get unbanned I can promise I will behave myself and will not say anything bad I really enjoy the Vault servers I only go on them to have fun Thank you.

Thank you for your appeal. We'll review the details and get back to you shortly, usually within 2-3 days.

After reviewing the details of your ban, we have decided to deny your appeal. Your ban was due to you joining on on making fun of a trans player for their voice, specifically saying that they "sound like a man who is trying very hard and very badly to sound like a woman." This is unacceptable behavior on our servers as well as a blatant violation of rule 3, quoted below.

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.

• Clarification on this rule from the addendum in post #3, below:
  Anyone caught harassing another player on our servers on basis of race, sex, disability, gender, gender identity, or sexuality will be permanently banned. Appeals for this kind of ban will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

As this was direct harassment of another user based on their gender identity, this resulted in a permanent ban. As the ban was not in error and of the proper duration, your appeal will not be accepted at this time. You are free to re-appeal on April 22nd, 2027.
