Permanent ban for saying: "im fuckin retarded"

Ban reason: i said „im fuckin retarded“ in round 50365 at recording time 08min 10sec

Length of ban: permanent until appealed

Events leading to the ban: I was watching a SS14 video on my second monitor while playing HoS. I was in bridge and heard sounds of someone slashing at an animal. I thought it was someone killing renault in captains office so i panicked and told captain to open his office. Upon entering and seeing nobody was in there, I was dumbfounded and realized that the sound came from the video on my second monitor. I told the captain in LOOC:

„omg“

„the fucking video i was watching“

„had sounds of an animal beeing killed“

„im fuckin retarded“

Reason the ban should be removed: I know that i got banned for my usage of the word retarded a month ago. In the month since i figured i never used it again, at least a month went by without me getting banned for it and i also tried to be rather self aware about the slurs i use in game wich I also figured went rather successful. But how is this instance offensive to anyone? I was insulting myself for my own stupidity in the given situation. I didn’t use it as a slur to insult disabled people and i didn’t use it to insult anyone else. I get the argument that i also just could have used the word stupid. Fair. But in the heat of the moment where i just felt dumbfounded by my own stupidity it slipped through.

I can understand another temporary ban for having a slip up, but as long as i didn’t use it in any other instance, and especially didn‘t insult any other person but myself, how is a permanent ban anything but excessive? I’d really like this permanent ban to be reconsidered especially considering me cleaning up my use of the word since my last ban over a month ago and not having insulted any specific person but myself. I’d also like for my explanation for my language in my last appeal to be considered with this situation.

your ban has been lifted and your appeal was accepted. I cannot stress enough that moving foward you cannot use this term for any reason as we consider it a slur on our servers. you have been warned for this already and future bans for this will likely be much harder to appeal
