Ban appeal Options

[Urban II]

Hi Sneaky Monkeys,

I was wondering if I could be unbanned for my moment of acting like an idiot the other day.
I'll just explain the situation, there was like 5 seconds left til the game finished and I was at
spawn, during the last 5 seconds I attacked a couple of people (without killing them).
I know it wasn't a wise move to do that, and I'm not saying the admin who banned me was
abusing any power, but I feel as if it was an over reaction. I'd like to carry on playing on
your server without anymore stupidity (on my part of course)

Thanks,

Urban II

I logged into the sql server and ran some queries.
The good news is I can tell you he played on the server as Urban ϟϟ for around 35 minutes before being kicksied. Has also played for 7 hours 25 as Urban II also half an hour as zaraki, around 3.5 as never forget the gazillion, 35 mins as Zyklon B

But in my glorious opinion he's not broken racist language rules.
His name choices have been a little sketchy, the race war name we've not seen on the server.
Based on names or chat on the server there's no indication of whether he's some little deluded neo-Nazi type or just someone using such names to try and troll.
So the names that he's played with that people would have issue with is Urban ϟϟ and Zyklon B - obviously SS references and a name based on the jewish peoples least favourite pesticide.
We've had people with references like this before like trenchstuhfuhrer or whatever he was called who didn't attract a ban

So in general we for racist language (he's not broken this.. yet). We do kick for racist player names.

So the question is do people consider the use of the ϟϟ or a name based on a poison gas used in death chambers in itself without context or explanation racist?




If the answer is yes, then do we start kicking the various Hitlers, or AdolfH's, maybe I should set my name to Mussolini?

btw although I don't think his name is racist in itself, it's likely he either is a "racist douchbag" or just a "edgy kid douchebag" either way am pretty certain a douchebag. We should pity him.

p.s. that above was the 'good' news, the bad news was that SQL is throwing out connection erros now. It was working when I got there but I am certain I didn't break it. probably. Monkey: earn your keep and fix it minion! else I be displeased.

In other news I've decided that all future posts of mine will feature a cat in some way or form. For the sake of forum equillibrium
