Appealing rDelta (Reason: Hate Speech/Harassment)

Postby rDelta » Mon Jun 14, 2021 9:13 am

Now, I can understand why you might think that what I did was wrong. To an extent, I kind of agree and I do regret doing what I did. But at the time, I thought I was just trolling. I was making fun of British people during a game and I thought everyone else would laugh it off with me. And according to the report, they did. Nobody in the game expressed any offense at what I did. The strange thing is, before I was reported for gamethrowing because I didn't vote at the end, and it is weird because a few days ago, the report magically changed to be a hate speech report. I'm not sure how this happened but I'm bringing this up in case this is unintentional. Anyway, what I want to appeal is the indefinite ban given to my account. I didn't actually use any slurs or reference pedophilia during the game, and everything I did was all in jest. So I am really surprised when I found out about my indefinite ban. Again, I am not trying to say what I did was 100% right, I am trying to say that what I did does not deserve an indefinite ban. This ban was my first ever offense in the whole game and I was told that you get 3 suspensions before your ban except if you use slurs or talk about pedophilia. Again, I did neither of those things, so shouldn't I be suspended for 1 day instead of banned indefinitely?

Greetings,

please keep in mind that only invalid reports may be appealed and that certain offenses may result in a permanent ban right away.

lynching people for their nationality is indeed considered harassment and also racist.

But should this mean a permanent ban on my first offense? No one in the game had any objection to what I was saying. It wasn't even the reason I was reported for, which you haven't explained. Why did my report suddenly change from gamethrowing to hate speech? This report does not even represent what the players in the game reported me for. I'm sure there is some data of the report saved somewhere before it got changed. It should say that I didn't vote or something like that and the reason should've been for gamethrowing. I think it's unfair that I'm not only being banned, but being banned indefinitely, for something that no one in the game had a problem with.
