Ban appeal, Got a 10-hour ban for using caps in no more than 4 sentences Options

[JorisCeoen]

So yea,

As some of you might know, I have played on this server for over a year, almost non-stop. I took a long break after I couldn't bear the bugs. I have grown now, known other games. I am kind of coming back and now I can really ease with how the game is finally shaping out. However, I just joined today for literally 5mins. There was someone crying about cheating, and I sarcastically joked in full CAPS in no more than 4 or 5 sentences... I got no remark until a normal player said to ease down. I joked back saying "I cap when I want, ok?" ofc in full caps. Then I played on for like 2mins, and suddenly a 10 hour ban.

I had 0 warning from any admins, nor does anything in the rules state anything about full caps (I just read through the rules again).

I understand the action of the admin, I understand it's annoying (even though I didn't continue doing it, it was bikkelclear I had stopped right there), but I don't understand a 10 hour ban, especially for something so minute that could have easily been avoided.

I hope this ban can be lifted, I had hoped to get some fun time in the SneakyMonkey server, like good old times.

Kind regards Joris

I think 10 hours is time enough to cool down.

I think 10 hours is time enough to cool down.

I didn't even get a warning. Nobody told me "hey, please don't CAPS. If you continue to do so, we will have to ban you". Nobody. I know you can't TK, you can't call out admin, you can't grief or otherwise ruin anyone else's play experience. All I did was joke about CAPS. I'm 100% sure that many players are just getting kicked when they TK continuously, before they are getting banned. I even got kicked as a warning, and I only got banned once for a dispute between an admin. I understand all of those, but I don't understand this.

There is no way that players get an immediate 10 hour ban. I have often heards admins speak about 1 hour bans for just TK, which I find honestly more of an issue in this game than just CAPS, that I had clearly stopped.

Is there really, no way, to lift my ban to 1-hour only...? I'd really love to play on the server, like I have always done. Never have I been so quickly banned for something so small and unimportant. A 1 hour ban seems more appropriate to me. If anything, I can definitly tell I will not caps anymore at this point, at least it has been clarified to me that I can't do it, at all.
