Username: ThePixel
Ban reason: "Slurs : AI named "imfaggot" in hexadecimal"
Length of ban: Indefinite
Ban Issue:
The ban is fair, but I would like a second chance or reduction
Events leading to the ban
any related factors or events are unrelated to the game itself, i’m a queer person and was setting myself up for punishment due to declining mental health
Reason the ban should be removed
not advocating for a total removal, totally understand the ban being at least several weeks, if not month-long ban.
the slur was both obscured and directed entirely at myself, not intended to insult any person.
in my ~300 hours of playtime, this being only second admin intervention points to this being out of the ordinary

Hi there, I’m Dave and I will be processing this appeal.
So one of the only questions I have at this time is this: So you did this because you wanted people to say mean things? Could you elaborate on this please? Because it is confusing and I want to make sure I have things clear before I pass a judgement on this.
i dont really know why i did it truth be told, kinda just named myself funny word i identify as and on a different level to be punished by an admin or something, im kinda all over the place atm which i know doesnt excuse it, just might explain it better?
You are correct, It does not excuse the behavior, but it does certainly give perspective to it and does help me in my decision.
I am going to reduce your ban to a three month ban. Here is my reasoning on why. You did this, knowing you would likely be caught by an Admin. The fact that you are having some challenges is not lost on me, however and that was the deciding factor on the three months. It gives you time to get yourself back on even footing and to get yourself back to a point where you can have fun.
I am sorry that you are not having a good time with your mental health. If you need help, there are many resources online that can assist you with that. That being said, We hope to see you in three months, refreshed and ready to have some fun and we will welcome you back with open arms.
Please, take care and have a good day,
David.
