Your Name: Karl Brenner
SteamID (STEAM_0:X:XXX): STEAM_0:1:184968626
Appeal Type (Apology or Dispute): Dispute
Which staff member banned you?: Major Whoreson
How long is your ban for?: 1 month 25 Days
Why were you banned?: I was banned for saying, "Why are there so many Christ cucks?" The admin's stated reason for the ban was, "womp womp, loser."
Why do you deserve to be unbanned?:
I don't believe this ban was justified. The comment I made was directed at Christianity as a topic that people were already discussing in chat, not at any individual player. People were openly expressing support for Christianity, and I responded with an opposing opinion. Whether people agree with what I said or not, I don't think expressing a negative opinion about a religion should result in a nearly two-month ban by itself. The ban reason also concerns me. Instead of citing a specific rule, I was banned with the reason "womp womp, loser," which doesn't explain what rule I actually violated. From my perspective, that makes it seem like the decision was made emotionally rather than based on the server's rules. The conversation also took place in the context of roleplay and in-character discussion. If roleplay discussions are allowed to include opinions on religion, then I don't think players should only be allowed to express positive views while negative ones are punished. I'm asking that the ban be reviewed based on the server's written rules and what I actually said, not on whether the moderator disagreed with my opinion. If I violated a specific rule, I'd like to know which one. If I didn't, I believe the ban should be removed.
Additional Information: I respectfully request that the ban be reviewed based on the server's written rules and the context of the conversation. If staff believe I violated a specific rule, I'd appreciate knowing which rule it was. My goal with this appeal is to have the decision reviewed fairly and consistently.
