Game server: All >XI< Servers

In-game name: |yXK| Shankster

 

Appeal details: Hello there. I would like to appeal my permanent ban from a long while back. I never got to doing this because I did not have the time to do so (and unfortunately I kept forgetting haha). Anyways, to bring some light to the situation, I was banned for what an admin claimed to be a racist remark. I said "nigahiga" which I think the admin perceived to be a racist remark. In all actuality, nigahiga is actually a YouTube user, and his name has no association to racism. Thanks for your cooperation and time

 

PS: My name has changed, and I have forgotten what my old name was... Is that a problem?

Thank you for your appeal Shankster.

 

I am unable to find any player on our servers named Shankster.  Do have any idea as to what other names you gamed under in the past on our servers?

If you can't remember any, please send me a PM with your GUID so I can look you up that way.  Just hold your mouse over my name and click on the Send Message button.

Thank you for sending me your GUID.  I did find you under the name Sergeant Blush.  You were auto-banned by the server 2 years.  You typed the phrase "n***a be dead".  We have zero tolerance for racist language.

 

Appeal denied.

  So there's absolutely no way to appeal? Aside from the fact that the use of the word 'nigga' was not being used in discriminatory terms? YouTube users use it IN their names, even in rap from black and white rappers it is used with no significant racial meaning. The ban was POINTLESS, utterly pointless, and I'm sure people have been banned for more important matters but even temporarily. If more then 70% of the gaming community agrees that 'nigga' is not racist and is used nowadays in non-racial terms, why am I being banned? I was not pointing my finger on anyone and calling them a 'nigger' and despite that I did not know about any of the rules for clarity before hand. Therefore, I think I deserve an appeal after almost a whole year of a ban. I'm advocating for the productivity and activity on the whole of the COD4 server, is that not a good thing? Yes, it is zero tolerance, but in a real world situation, where that word specifically is dropped millions of times in non-discriminating situations, do you think it would be true 'zero tolerance' to ban them from being on your property for 2 years? Also, consider this. If you were to say gay as in you were happy, its literally the same thing as saying "I'm a nigga". I'm not a racist, and nobody was hurt or offended. Zero tolerance starts when you are not afraid of a word, knowledge of it should be known instead of banning people and punishing them calling their actions discriminatory. Just my thoughts, please consider them.
