Ban reason: [Character named “ADOLF RIZZLER”. “Is there something offensive about it? in ahelp.]
Length of ban: [Appeal]
Events leading to the ban: [I joined a game and was told by an admin named Kezu “Hello! Please change your name for the next round.” I asked “What is wrong with my name? My actual first name is Adolf” “Last name Heinrich” “?” “Is there something offensive about it?” Kezu replied “Yeah, ever heard of these peoples called Nazis?” To which I replied “Wow a bit racist much? Not every German is a Nazi. Contrary to popular belief anyways.” " We got heavily taught about the holocaust and Nazis personally disgust me.” Kezu then replied "Also Heinrich is his first name, not last name. Try better next time you troll.]
Reason the ban should be removed: [Listen as a German person I heavily understand that the first name Adolf incurs a certain dictator to mind but my mother gave me that name not in honor of some deadbeat who should have never been allowed to run a country let alone anything politically related it was given to me to honor someone in my lineage. I am related to Adolf Heinrich von Arnim-Boitzenburg here is a link for reference in case you don’t believe me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Heinrich_von_Arnim-Boitzenburg. Furthermore, the fact that he made a comment which gave my last name to the monster Heinrich Himmler is absolutely disgusting and the fact he jumped to conclusions about my character when I had been nothing but civil until his racist accusations appalls me. I am hurt because as I said in the former communication and as I will say here not every person named Adolf is a Nazi just because we are German. Having moved out to America for work 4 years ago I have dealt with prejudice from Americans but turned the other cheek and changed their opinions through action. And I’m hoping that will happen here. I implore you to consider that I did no action denoting any such attempt at disruptive behavior but conversely the same cannot be said of Kezu. I just want to try a new game I found through OneyPlays and have fun. I am not here to hurt anyone or cause emotional distress. Should it be denied that is fair but I will give people my honest opinion about the racist mods on this game that jump to conclusions about people if there country has a shady past. Thank you for your time.]
my guy, if you name yourself adolf rizzler, thats going to raise a few red flags
All you removed was “Hit” and added “Rizz” my man
Can you explain how and why you decided on the last name “RIZZLER” for your character, including any meaning behind it?
Also, this part is incredibly minor, but I’m just curious, why did you make your name all caps in-game?
yes rizzler is a portmanteau of the Riddler’s supervillain name and rizz as a meme if you have seen that and i just think all caps looks better aesthetically at least.
negative. you can have your opinion but that was not the intention. Yet another person jumping to conclusions. Again i apoligize if you really came to that conclusion it was never my intention.

if it helps i like the Riddler because of his smarmy and smart ass attitude towards people and his sense of self worth and grandiosity.

Again perhaps if you want to jump to racist conclusions. As I said the admin gave me no chance to explain and jumped to conclusions. Your free to have your opinion but at least let someone share their side no? Is it not valid to be able to explain? Which as i’m sure you have read the post you can hopefully understand my side. I mean no offense in any of it and no actions i took even remotely denoted a lean towards that “Belief” system. And i want to emphasize the quotations here. Simply put I just like how it sounds. I will be honest though that this whole debacle has kinda drained me if im being honest. My want to engage with this game has substantially lowered. Not only because of the laundry list of rules but the mods immediate jump to the worst possible conclusion. Im just sad is all. But i see your point. And I hope this helped to clear things up.

Sehr geehrte/r BONDAMF,
als Mitglied des Admin-Teams, und ebenfalls als Deutsche, möchte ich mich hiermit zu deinem Einspruch äußern. Nach sorgfältiger Überprüfung durch das Admin-Team bedauern wir, dir mitteilen zu müssen, dass dein Einspruch abgelehnt wurde.
Dein Charaktername „ADOLF RIZZLER“ hat bei vielen in unserer Gemeinschaft Unbehagen und Besorgnis ausgelöst, insbesondere aufgrund der Kombination beider Namensbestandteile. Kürzlich hatten wir Fälle, in denen Nutzer mit anstößigem, nazibezogenem Inhalt für Unruhe gesorgt haben. Vor diesem Hintergrund muss unser Team besonders wachsam gegenüber potenziell provokativen oder kontroversen Namen sein.
Die Tatsache, dass dein Name komplett in Großbuchstaben geschrieben ist, wirkt, als ob du damit gezielt Aufmerksamkeit erregen möchtest. Dies, zusammen mit der Kombination der beiden Namensbestandteile, hinterlässt bei vielen einen negativen Eindruck.
Zudem scheint es, als würdest du das potenzielle Problem deines Charakternamens in diesem Kontext nicht vollständig verstehen. Es ist wichtig, sich bewusst zu sein, wie bestimmte Namen oder Referenzen von einer breiten Gemeinschaft aufgefasst werden können, insbesondere in einem internationalen und kulturell vielfältigen Umfeld.
Leider müssen wir auch feststellen, dass dein Umgang mit unseren Teammitgliedern als feindselig wahrgenommen wurde. Angesichts der oben genannten Gründe waren die Fragen und Bedenken unseres Teams durchaus berechtigt.
Wir verstehen, dass dies für dich enttäuschend sein mag, aber die Entscheidung unseres Teams zielt darauf ab, eine sichere und respektvolle Umgebung für alle Nutzer zu gewährleisten. Wir danken dir für dein Verständnis und hoffen, dass du die Beweggründe hinter unserer Entscheidung nachvollziehen kannst.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Dear BONDAMF,
As a member of the admin team, and also as a fellow German, I’m addressing your appeal. After careful review by the admin team, we regret to inform you that your appeal has been denied.
Your character name “ADOLF RIZZLER” has caused discomfort and concern among many in our community, particularly due to the combination of both parts of the name. Recently, we’ve had instances of users causing disruption with offensive, Nazi-related content. Against this backdrop, our team must be especially vigilant against potentially provocative or controversial names.
The fact that your name is written entirely in capital letters appears as if you are seeking attention. This, coupled with the combination of the two name components, leaves a negative impression on many.
Additionally, it seems that you do not fully grasp the potential issue with your character’s name in this context. It’s important to be aware of how certain names or references can be perceived by a broad community, especially in an international and culturally diverse setting.
Unfortunately, we also note that your interaction with our staff members was perceived as hostile. Given the reasons mentioned above, the questions and concerns raised by our team were justified.
We understand this may be disappointing for you, but our team’s decision aims to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all users. We appreciate your understanding and hope you can see the rationale behind our decision.
Best regards,
luckyshotpictures
