RedBookcase - "begone bigot"

[RedBookcase]

Discord Username: elyk11
Ban reason: "begone bigot"
Ban Issue:
I do not know why I was banned

Events leading to the ban

I’m not sure exactly why I was banned but I do have a good guess. In a discussion about Hopper closing someone asked if the word “new[f-slur]” was an acceptable way to refer to new players, which I responded to by saying no, it wasn’t. Others responded similarly and the topic was discussed a bit. I then made a lighthearted joke asking if it would be okay to say “[f-slur]” if we provided proof of being lgbt (I am Bisexual, not that it matters), and that got a timeout from the bot for containing a slur, which I understood & dropped the matter. Got hit with a ban a few hours later while discussing welding mechanics.

Reason the ban should be removed

Assuming this was the reason for the ban I think I should be clear and say that what I said was in no way done to be hateful, bigoted or offensive, and I apologize for using the word. It was being discussed at the time this happened and my intent was in no way malicious/bigoted, and I apologize for making a joke in poor taste.

Has been over two weeks now without any clarification/input on the appeal.

Been well over a month with still no response from anybody. Messaged the mods here and was met with silence. Still haven’t been told the reason for the ban.

We have a zero tolerance policy on any slurs used. Joke or not, we take slurs said like that seriously.

You understand what you said was wrong and understand why the ban was placed.

With that said, the moderation team has decided to uplift this ban.
