Ban appeal, Yet another ban appeal Options

[JeanMichelCrapau...]

Hi guize,

On the night of the 16th of January I got banned for using the word "nigaud", a french word with a meaning somewhat similar to "retard" in english, as you can see on this page : https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nigaud

Admittedly I said that in joking reference to the infamous N-word, thinking that the many french-speaking players and admins would get it. On the other hand, I would never, ever, use the N-word seriously, nor would I use other racial slurs. As a person (and gamer) I often fight against the using of "gay", "faggot" and other sexual orientation- or gender-based words as derogatory terms, something I know you won't ban people for (or at least, I never witnessed it). Now, calling people "retards" is also absolutely problematic, but that's even further down the road of things you don't ban for.

I am overly conscious of these issues, and I understand that people are hurt by these kinds of words. The thing is, I never said them.

Please cancel my ban, so I can bash your lovely in-game heads in again.

You must understand we take racist language seriously in any context, even repeating racism said by others can get you banned, Its tough but it keeps people in line, you have explained and apologized so I will remove the ban when I'm next in game, pls post your in game name from when you were banned.
