Ban reason:"[Discrimination/bigotry] : Said "I hate blind people"" Length of ban:Indefinite Ban Issue: I did what I was banned for, but the ban is unreasonably harsh
Vote Opt-Out:false
Events leading to the ban
I was being arrested by a blind officer for shoving them, and the HoS asked what was happening. I said “I hate blind people” in reference to being arrested by a blind cop as a passenger. I didn’t even remember saying it until I was ahelped and then perma banned.
Reason the ban should be removed
I said something irp in reference to a blind person arresting me. I didn’t mean it in a bigotry way and getting banned permanently is crazy when there are other people blatantly breaking rules and actually harming gameplay. I didn’t mean that I ACTUALLY don’t like blind people, it was just in reference to the person arresting me.
Ban reduced to 3 days. Please keep in that the " No Hate Speech or Discriminatory Language" rule is zero tolerance and as such we take it very seriously.
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.
