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

Having looked into this... it wasn't a ban done on the SM servers

It was instead was global ban added by a global mod/dev to a group who all received bans for racism. Looking at the logs of the official server he was on, they all were warned. The admin in question logged in as admin and warned them again, they continued and were banned.

As it was a ban on official servers, not an SM server ban, contacting the TB email address for appeals would be the correct place for it. Whilst I could lift it, I'll defer this to Daggyzo to judge whether it should/will be lifted.

The SM servers pull the global banlist from the official servers too, so he will end up being banned on the SM servers as a knock on effect. (Can confirm the people who end up on the official global bans are ones who deserve to be)
