Hello

Been playing Chivalry again after a break of 3 years. Was good to see that the big SM server was still going.
Ended up going in and enjoying the game.

All of a sudden i get kicked out of the game. Thought i might have been to make a free slot for a SM member. Tried to come back today, browser says i got banned.

As far as i know i have been following the rules. No teamkilling, not even typing stuff in chat, i believe i only typed that the game could be frustrating and sometimes i felt like tossing my pc through the window.

But suddenly i got banned apparently now i was thinking about it and i am guessing a very PC admin got triggered by interpreting my username as a hidden slur.


My steamname is Shub Niggurath, i already changed it to Niggurath. Now Shub Niggurath is a cosmic entity that was born in the mind of horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. Shub is my favorite Old one from the Mythos so i made my username on Steam Shub Niggurath. So i can only guess the admin thought it was a slur to Africans.. which it is not. Did not even get a warning either.

OR this; I got shredded by a player and i just typed: ''Nig nog'' Seconds after that my game shut down. Now i am guessing there is probably some racial slur that has been poured into that word by some image boards. But in etymology a nig nog means fool. I will post proof but i guess nobody will believe me i am serious because apparently everyone is a racist and if you say something that even sounds offensive you also mean it in an offensive way apparently.

Here is proof of Shub Niggurath
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shub-Niggurath

And here of the word ''nig nog' ( yes apparently there is a racist slur in the word too but it is a homonym then and well without context you can only assume.)
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nig-nog

Now if you decide that i am still a racist that is fine. I was just trying to enjoy the game again on a server i liked to go to a few years back but if you can get banned for saying something or having a name that could be interpreted as something offensive and you believe i went to all this effort of explaining just to do it again, than i am glad to be banned because i would not like to play on that kind of server anyway but i think you are not that toxic. So this is me giving my 2 cents and we shall see what comes out of the basket with this.If it makes you feel better, if i get unbanned i will refrain from typing a word in chat out of fear of getting banned again. Maybe change my steam name every time i play chiv just to make sure i wont be racist banned again.

This post is dead serious and a bit sarcastic but i am not trolling. I have no idea what i did to get banned but those two reasons.

At any rate, thanks for reading the post i guess.

I made the ban, seemed racist and unnecessary typing that when there are so many other options you could've choosed from ( http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/fool ).
On top of that your nickname doesn't make the situation better. As it can easily be taken as yet another underaged-funny-kid-nickname rather than a reference nobody knows about.

If you edit your ban appeal and/or try again with removing some sarcasm and whatnot I might consider lifting the ban.

Well that just shows that you are being the narrowminded one insinuating people are childish and or racist. Keep me banned then. Just proves admin abuse in my eyes. Everything can be taken as a funny kid nickname, i find that a weak argument and i find it discriminating on your part. I could derive from your name Marsche that there is march hidden in it and therefore you like the army and are a warmongering person. Far fetched but just the same pattern you follow.

I did not break any rules, you just felt it right to abuse the admin power because you thought of something in terms of semantics forming your own opinion. Besides someone who considers Shub Niggurath like something childish... like a child could make it up.. You could have just asked for context but nope insta bann. Everything can be turned into something offensive if you want it to be.

Keep me banned i have no plans on returning to your server with this discriminating/ narrow minded attitude. You would probably just bann me again the moment i join for my nickname again and smirk behind your screen.
