Additional Comments:
Hi, I'm a regular on the above listed server, and I'm not sure what got me banned. I understand that I was given a warning and subsequent 'time out' for a spray of a cartoon woman with her tits out saying something along the lines of "Oh yes sir whoever, please fuck me". If you are unfamiliar with the spray, I am happy to provide a link to it, as it is my understanding that it is only pornographic in as far as a female nipple can be considered so. Very little about the image is sexual in nature, and indeed the source of the spray, oglaf.com, is an adult themed satirical webcomic aimed at fantasy tropes.

Nevertheless, I understand that adult content is something that is an uncomfortably grey area, and I was happy to change the spray once the round had ended. As the spray was currently covered by another person's, I felt as though it was fine. Furthermore, there was no option for me to communicate with the individual who had timed me out, or vis a vis.

When I was timed out, I assumed that I would be able to rejoin the server. This is because, naturally, changing the spray does not take effect until you re-enter the server after disconnecting it. I was quite surprised to find that I had been banned from the server, considering I had attempted to make amends for the issue.
 
Hi there,
Your ban contest has been received and I will review the details and get back to you shortly.
 
Sorry about that. Reading your report, I realized I didn't quite understand how using the punishment tools at my disposal would be interpreted on the user's end. The warning/timeout tool, along with general handling of porn sprays is a rather new thing we've had to deal with over the last 2 months now that we've finally enabled public sprays, and we've been dealing with quite a lot of blatantly bad sprays since we enabled them. In my handling of the situation I didn't take into account that you might have left to change your spray.

Regarding your spray, we'd rather not have sprays like that on our servers. Even given its non-sexual nature, it was annoying enough to other players that they kept covering it up.

Your ban has been removed and the record of this ban has been deleted from our logs. Sorry about that.
 
No worries whatsoever! I completely understand, there has definitely been some very questionable content being sprayed.

Thanks for resolving this, and doubly so for the elaboration.
