Sent by: {MFF}Blaze{GS} Sent on: 12 May 2013 - 08:28 PM Game server: COD4 Freezetag Beta In-game name: {MFF}Blaze{GS} Appeal details: Hi there, I was playing in the Beta server (COD4) as I usually do, when I was banned for racism. I was playing on POWcamp and IO had just shot The Meek >XI< with a 180 spin shot as he was sneaking up on me to knife me. I took a defensive position to type a response to his sighs of despair, I heard using Hardwired, and typed... "I heard the evil snigger of someone sneaking up!". I am quite upset that I would be permanently and so publicly banned for racism, but can appreciate that these slips can occur with automated filters. I can't imagine anybody would be offended by the word snigger, as it is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as "A stifled, suppressed laughter". However, if necessary, I am willing to apologise for using this word and for any possible offence caused. Many thanks Link to comment Awards

My bad. I will update the regex when I am next logged into the server and have some time. Your ban has been lifted, my apologies for any inconvenience caused. .

No, there isn't.. but the auto ban system picked it up as a 'version' of another racist word. As Blaze pointed out, it is a perfectly harmless term for 'suppressed laughter' and not at all racist. However, until fine tunes the auto ban system, it will continue to be picked up as it was today.. so I would suggest no 'sniggering' until then Blaze, HellKid, blk_plague and 2 others 5 Link to comment Awards
