The date of your ban.

Member of the team that banned you.
Samuel Thompson

Reason given for your ban.
Racial Slurs

The Server you initially were banned on.
Server 1

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.
My black friend said "Can yall niggas move out the way."
Someone got offended by that. I said "He can't say nigga? He's black." (I am also black in real life, didn't harass or offend anyone.)

Why should we unban you ?
I didn't try to offend anyone. I repeated what was said. I'm black in real life, I wasn't using the slur against anyone. I find it unfair that I was being harrassed and called a "nigger" by people in the server, but they get away with it. I didn't think I could get banned for repeating something a guy said without harassing anyone. I've never done anything to bother anyone, I'm quite new to the server and online role playing. The word "nigga" isn't something I regular use in my vocabulary, so I can assure you that it wont happen again.

To quote the note on your ban "he is a "N" word i know him irl." was what you said.

Regardless of how you may act in real life, the context of its usage is very different online. When you are using a word that is often used in a derogatory way, you shouldn't be surprised if we act very swiftly against it when it is impossible to know how your words will effect other people.

For argument's sake, if you feel that someone else is using words like that against you, you need to report it to us. We can only act on what we see so while you may see it as "unfair", it is the only way that we can act in order to be fair to everyone.

I don't believe that you mean't it as an attack on anyone else, so if I unbanned you, are you prepared to follow all rules going forward?
