Hello, sorry for only reaching your appeal now as it appears your ban has expired.
The rule on sexual content is a zero tolerance rule which we take very seriously. As such most of the time a warning is not given.
I do however agree that the banning admin could have attempted to communicate more before issuing the ban.
It should be noted that this ban does not go against policy. Your ban is not influenced by your role ban which is in an entirely different grouping category and as such can’t contribute to your conduct being a second offense. Additionally you were not banned for ahelp evasion. The relevant policy you have listed which is “Sexual Content” for a first offense specifies “W-3d GB” which according to the policy means “Warning up to a 3 day game ban” the latter of which was applied.
As the ban has expired, not much can be done but the ban appears to be in policy as such we cannot remove it from your record. Otherwise a reduction would have been considered
To enable speedy review of all appeals, appeals that meet certain requirements may bypass the standard, often lengthy, review process. Our banning policy requires appeals which are denied using the speedy review process have this notice placed on them. Any of the following criteria typically make an appeal eligible for the speedy review process:
- the ban is temporary and the player indicated on the appeal that they are ok with it being processed without a vote,
- the ban length is less than or equal to 14 days,
- the appeal is older than 7 days, or
- the result of the appeal is obvious.
You may make a staff complaint if you believe this appeal was handled improperly, but should be aware that this will typically only result in a review of the processing of the appeal itself, with the appeal being re-opened if an issue is found. An appeal is considered to have been processed improperly if the criteria to use the speedy review process was not met, or if the facts which the processing admin relied on to process the appeal were incorrect. You must concisely describe why you believe the appeal was handled improperly. If no issue is found with the processing of the appeal, the appeal itself will not be re-reviewed. If, in bad faith, you claim that an appeal was handled improperly, the reviewing head admin may decide to extend the time you must wait before you appeal and/or extend your ban duration.
