I tried logging in for the first time in about two weeks and I was disconnected by server, the reason being I have been "Banned: Homophobia." Now my guess is that I must have posted a sign or said something using the word "Gay" as an adjective for describing something negative. I had no intention of offending anyone and I want to apologize sincerely for not being more careful/considerate with my words. I hope this ban can be lifted since it really was an honest mistake and as we know a lot of people use the word "Gay" to describe something that we feel is negative. I can completely understand where the server policies are coming from when they state to not use any derogatory language to offend anyone by race, sex, orientation, etc. Please consider this appeal, as I have stated above that I was an honest mistake and it will NOT be repeated again- I can promise that. 

 

- Your friend/frequent player, Greytoxic.

No sexism, racism, homophobia or any type of hate speech, especially targeted at specific users.

 

This clearly seems to be the rule I have broken. Again, I promise it will not happen again. I have read the rules time and time again, so I don't know why this slipped my mind.

Hey greytoxic, thank you for being so forthcoming in your ban appeal. I can't easily locate the relevant screenshot I had for this ban right now, but I believe you're quite right and that your ban was for replacing another player's claim sign with their name edited to include the word 'gay' in it. You've gone ahead and read the rules, and that's all I would have asked you to do upon appealing anyway, in addition to understanding how we handle issues such as this. Being that you've already done this, i'll go ahead and unban you now :)
