IGN (In-Game Name): BlogOfMine
Date/Time: 18:54 UTC
Reason: Hate language towards another player
Ban Length: 3 days
Staff Member: ShadowVirus52
Why we should consider your appeal:
Because of 2 things:
1: I made one comment, as a joking reference to a comedic exchange between a helper and an other player. The comment in question was: "Hah! gayyyy! as a reference to this:

2: The required punishment for this is a warn/kick for the first infringement, it takes 3 infringements to be banned for this period of time:
2. Swearing/Language

This includes all swearing/language that the staff or community consider inappropriate, or which implies inappropriate language. Minor infractions will incur punishments listed below, however if language contains sexual content, drug-related or other severe hate-related content (including but not limited to racial, religious, sexual orientation, etc) there will be upwards of a 3 day-permanent issued with no warnings. Mild content will incur a 1-3 day temp ban with no warning.

1st: Warn/Kick, 2nd: 1hour - 12hours, 3rd: 1day - 1week

 

In the rule you posted, see this line:

This type of remark is directly related to sexual orientation and is hurtful to two groups of people: the person you targeted with the remark, and gay people who are slandered when the term is used negatively. For this reason, the use of "gay" in a negative way is not acceptable on this server.

This appeal is denied.
