SA_Guts - Discord Ban Appeal

Post by YourGuts » 03 Oct 2018, 16:51

Your Byond ID: SA_Guts

Character Name: James Booker

Type Of Ban (Job-ban (include the job), Timed Ban, Permaban): Discord ban.

Admin who banned you (if known): x31stOverlord

Total Ban Duration: Permanent.

Remaining Duration: Permanent.

What other servers do you play on? None.

Are you now or have you been banned on any servers? Which ones? None.

Reason for ban (If you have a Permaban, it should be the EXACT MESSAGE YOU GET WHEN YOU LOGIN with the Error code that looks like this: X##XXX##. If you do not provide this EXACTLY you can't be unbanned): N/A

Link to previous appeals for the same ban (if applicable): N/A

Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc): So. This is, well this is sincerely embarrassing. I made a rather crude joke, regarding. . alien eggs and phallus, which subsequently got me banned by x31stOverlord. I understand the ban was most likely a breach of the following rules:

2. Keep shit posts inside #shitposting. Keep off-topic discussion in #off-topic. Memes are okay in the other rooms so long as they are on topic.
4. Do not post anything NSFW, such as porn, ERP, gore, etc.
11. No "are traps gay" discussions or similar.

However, during my time on the Discord I found the tone to generally be one of light-hearted banter and crude jokes, typical behavior among a community of blokes. To me, the ban seems extreme, a good talking to, maybe a mute would've taught the required lesson. It's clear now that I misread the Discord environment entirely, and I am sorry for it. I don't want to get too anti-establishment, I have a deep respect for all the work all of you do, but, during my time there I've seen the n-word dropped with regularity, and jokes of a similar nature made without repercussion, an ex staff member with the name "fuckingfaggot," which well, I think most of us can agree is a good bit more offensive than my crass remark. So, from my perspective, I thought the joke would scroll on by, but I guess not, and here I am. Thank you for taking the time to read my appeal, I've learned my lesson.

You were just banned less than an hour ago
ERP/NSFW/18+ is zero tolerance

ThesoldierLLJK, I really hope your comment and -1 is satire, and a joke, because I feel it's quite beyond unjustified. Unjustified is, in my opinion, quite an understatement.
I didn’t ban him but a discord staff member felt it met the level to ban him for what he said and these types of bans are zero tolerance you can see anyone else’s ban appeal for the same types of issue

What I said was:
-Not ERP
-Perfectly palpable for pg-13 content and thus neither NSFW nor 18+ content
-Contained no NSFW content due to lack of a linking of nudity, pornographic material, graphically violent material, or extremely in-depth descriptions depicting thereof.
-Easily dwarfed in sexual themes by what is allowed to be said and done in-game

Here are some stats from the Discord with other, colorful remarks:

188 statements containing the n-word with a hard er.
3,205 statements containing the n-word with an a.
17 statements saying Polack.
17 statements(admittedly, some are clear mispellings of 'spec') for a certain slur about Hispanics.
98 statements containing kraut.
863 statements containing faggot.
681 statements containing fag.

And here are some comments which entirely trump mine: https://pastebin.com/BP2ETjzw
The last of which was from a Discord moderator, moderating similar comments.

I would've included this in my original post, however I obviously don't have Discord access, so had to get a friend to search for me. Please do not delete this.

I've read what you posted, and it was absolutely NSFW and explicit. With that out of the way, your appeal boils down to "well, others have done worse". Not an argument.

Resolved - Denied.
I used to play Luke Compton. Now I play Reginald Dempsey.
