Banned from server, Request for unban Options

[Guitar Gangster]

Hello,

My Profile name is Guitar Gangster. I was playing Chivalry on the 31st of Octobre, Halloween. Halloween is all about scaring people, however it is also a festivity. This night though was not a festive one for me, it was just plain awful. Sorry if this sounds exaggerated but I'm just trying to get it through to you, let me get to the point. I was banned by an admin from a server in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. Now this isn't just a server for me, it is my favorite server. It is my standard server. Everytime I play Chivalry: Medieval Warfare I play on this particular server. I have never had any problems with anyone on this server, I never insult people, I never use racist slur or make racist comments at all. In this case there was a guy in my team who killed me. Usually I wait for him to say sorry to which I say no problem. But the mood in the server was very lighthearted. So I said "fuck you, Nigglet", because his name resembled this word which I had heard somewhere before. I had no idea Nigglet was a racist word. Then I started protesting against the perma-ban threat an admin gave me. People sympathised me and also started protesting against it. Some time later a random guy asked: "Do any of you know the song My Nigga by YG. I said: No, but do you know the song Nigga's in Paris? Then I got perma-banned. I contacted the admin who banned me and explained why I said the things I said and I apologised. He/she told me only devs could revoke bans and she told me to contact this address: contact@tornbanner.com. I thought this was kind of sketchy so I contacted another admin and informed him of the situation. Now this admin told me the ban could be lifted by putting a post on this forum. I have been playing on SneakyMonkey for a very long time without having ever received a vote kick nor a threat to be banned. Now I all of a sudden I am perma-banned. I feel this isn't righteous. I know your rules say: "Racism is always a ban". Racism consists of both prejudice and discrimination based in social perceptions of biological differences between people. I don't think any of my comments offended anybody, and if they did, I am very sorry. I promise never to use any racist slurs ever again on your server. I would like you to unban me from your server so I can once again enjoy the company of the many people I play and socialize with. Thank you for your attention.

Yours sincerely,

Guitar Gangster

I find this rather strange. Could it have been someone from outside of SM? Most admins here know they can easily revoke bans or ask monkey nicely to do it for them. On the bright side, things might get solved easier because now you don't have to email the devs

The arguing over chat is quite dangerous by the way. If half a server gets pissed at the one guy holding all the power, things don't tend to end well. Perhaps it would've been better to ask about the ban threat over steam chat.

And us admins tend to respond rather harschly to any form of racism, because things tend to deteriorate if we allow it, hence the ban for using the word 'nigga', even if it was in a song title (Maybe monkey can shine some light on this with the chat logs?). For example, someone mentioned white supremacy this afternoon in the chat and I asked him to tone it down. Less than 20 seconds later I banned someone for using the word 'nigger'.

Hope this can be resolved quickly
