I was banned and would like to appeal it
Posted: Dec 11, 2010, 00:41:09
Hello, my name is Daniel but my online handle is "ninji."
In light of recent updates to Team Fortress 2, I have since almost completely dropped the game and went back to CSS (MannConomy was fine, but after that. . .) Anyway, SPAWNPOINT's servers have facilitated my necesity for quality games to play in. Particularly, I have been enjoying the DUST/OFFICE DEATHMATCH more than any other.
I'd say a good 25 hours ago (I could very well be wrong) I was banned for a. . . well, it had a reason, but let me elaborate. I joined and noted a rather mediocre player chat the terms "fker" or "bitach" whenever he killed someone, which I found not only hilarious, but severly misplaced considering his lack of "finesse" when it came to CSS. I assumed him a young teenager, and proceeded by talking trash back to him.
If this server keeps logs, I am sure you will notice I used the term "niqqer" very particularly to bypass the filter. I admit I was in the wrong, but an admin was there, by the name of Brendan, he told me to not use racial slurs. I politely agreed and abstained from saying anything like it again. But, that other guy, who I said earlier lacked "finesse," started commanding the admin ban me because I knew how to use my words for me instead of copying everything my opponent said (pro-tip: he was doing that).
I'd say a good minute or so went by with him continuing his mission of instulting me and those he killed before I told him to "Calm down, it is just a game" or something along those lines. Right away, I was banned.
I wasn't tripping, I had thought I deserved it for the most part. I figured it was a 24 hour ban at the most. But, as I stated earlier, I am pretty sure it has been 25+ hours and my ban is still in place. So, I formally request for my ban to be lifted.
Here is my information, in case you need it:

Is it just me or is my entire post not there save for the ID and URL at the bottom? At any rate, quoting it seems to yield what I intended everyone to read.

You have been Banned from the Spawnpoint Point Deathmatch:dust/office because you were being racist. You and Mr. Eats were being racist towards each other and So i banned BOTH of you. Racism is not Tolerated at all on any spawnpoint server and shouldnt be any else where. With the arguments that you and mr. eats were having, it got out of handle and both of you started to be racism towards one another. I've sent in a demo of both of you guys. Now it us up to the Staff to see if you will get unbanned or not.
*Trying to change the N word to something else that is similar is still not acceptable, you were caught on the demo saying nikka, and saying that mr. eats was stealling your racism word*
Now all you have to do is wait for the demo to be reviewed. Thank you for your patient. 76.74.236.164:27015 is where you were banned.

When I came in, You guys were already at. So all I could do is just demo it, and take actions. I was told that any racism comments or anything at all is an automatic ban. When Both of you guys used it, that was when it hit me to ban both of you. For sure I know that Mr. Eats Will not be joining the server again because He told me to STFU N. or something like that. For your case, I believe that you were also trying to fight back using innapropriate words. I believe that I should have madyour ban a bit shorter from what you have said. But, if the staff sees that, then they will unban you. if not then they will keep the weeks long ban.
* Remember, Spawnpoint does not allow any racism at all on any servers. That is why When i came in a saw you guys both swearing off and being racist to each other. I just banned you guys for that reason*
We take racism very seriously.

Well, I am very relieved to know that the ban is not permanent. While I would appreciate the ban to be lifted, I would understand perfectly if it is not. After all, it just a week, I am prepared to wait it out.

Ninji, thank you for your patience and polite appeal.
First of I want to reiterate, Spawnpoint servers do not tolerate racism, regardless of
the context and manner it's used. You were banned for what appears to be retaliation
against another players behavior. The week ban, or whats left of it, stands.
Now after that you will be allowed back on the servers but keep in mind you need to
respect our policy, and anything similar to what happened in the session with Mr. Eats
will earn you a permanent ban with no option to appeal. In the end, your (the players) actions
determine what direction an admin takes. Next time you have a problem with a player,
don't bother getting in an argument, let the admins take care of it. And if there is no
admin, just ignore the player or add a couple admins on steam and request their help.
The admin who banned you, Brendan-USA, saw rules being broken and acted appropriately
when the arguing continued, granted you had been more mature towards the admin. This
show of maturity and initiative here in your post as well has contributed towards you're second
chance. Everybody makes mistakes, but we recognize those who understand and take
the time to make things right, over those who continue their behavior.
Regards and Happy Holidays.

Just an aside here.
Before you join a SpawnPoint server, next time, be sure to take a refresher course on the guidelines and rules that you are required to follow when playing on SpawnPoint. That prompt that most people automatically "Ok" or "Enter" when you first join the server contains the server rules. Take a look at that and make sure that you understand that, in order to continue to play on SpawnPoint, you're going to have to adhere to those guidelines.

My steam name is brendd.
If anything happens like that agin, you can always mute them by going to the players list and mute. OR you can go to our other servers. http://www.spawnpoint.com/servers
Add me and maybe we can shoot some times.

Thanks for hearing me guys, and I am grateful for the second chance you are granting me. I promise not to abuse it.
My steam name is brendd.

Add me and maybe we can shoot some times. Well, muting only blocks voice, and voice is rarely used on DM servers. Though, I suppose letting all the Fire in the hole!'s spam his messages out off the chat box would suffice just fine.
And, I added a "|Z.N.| Brendan |USA|" as a search for "brendd" yielded nothing.

This brings up something that I've been meaning to mention. On the 1.6 servers you can't scroll on the rule prompt page which cuts off the last few. I dont know if its just me but it only seems to happen to me on the SP 1.6 servers.

Don.t be spamming radio commands now. Those are part of the rules too.(No MicSpamming, or any type of spamming. I know what you mean by the gernade, But Don't spam the radio commands too. Just get an admin in. Or post on spawnpoint and someone should be in there soon. If you have problems with someone. Demo it. get the steam id. and post it on spawnpoint. The staff will review the demo and then if it is serious, the staff will put it on the watch list You are really helping us out if you are sending in demos to catch someone.
Regards,
Brendan

I think we can call this thread done now, so I'll be locking it.
Can we please remember not to post in Report an Incident threads unless directly involved, even if you are just trying to be helpful. If you have a semi-related point or a question about something in a thread then feel free to start a new thread or if you feel that there is something that needs to be said then you can PM me.
