Ban appeal for racism

[cuhtruck48]

I am an African American male, and I feel violated. I typed a part of my language on a note to give to my friend as a joke. I didn't get a warning at all. I didn't understand and I still don't. Please look into this matter.

What is your in game name @cuhtruck48? I cannot find a player with the same username you have displayed here.

I have in fact looked into this matter as requested by you...and this is what I have found.

Regardless of what your ethnicity is racism is racism. The language in which you typed was in the English language. Regardless of if you wrote was to a friend or stranger it goes against our rules and policies. 

When joining our servers you agree to adhering to the servers rules and policies. Our rules are clearly displayed on our join page, the help center when typing /rules while playing on our servers, In PSA's, on our website as well as our discord.

With the current cancel culture in the world, racism in all aspects of society is being closely scrutinized.  While we do understand that it still heavily permeates music, comedy, movies, and other media, it is something we do not feel is appropriate to have in our servers.

Words such as what were used on your account, are not welcome in any context. Racism in any form typed or said by any player is not okay.

That being said, you will get a second chance. Just one.
The ban will be lifted once 72 hours have passed, but it will remain on your record.  There will be no additional chances as this post should encourage you to change how you speak/type in our servers and to abide by the rules.

Take a few minutes before rejoining, and refresh yourself on the rules to avoid any chance of breaking them. If you are unclear on any of them, or aren't sure what is permitted, reach out to the staff and we'll be happy to clarify them for you.

● No raiding, griefing or looting of any kind.
● No mic or chat spam, player disrespect, politics, racism or harassment.
● No camping loot rooms, monuments or any highly concentrated areas.
● You may build in caves but you must ensure safe passage for other players.
● No blocking water ways, building around monuments or large areas of unused land.

(Please read the splash page as well, as each server type has slight variations regarding specific features of those servers.)

Welcome back. 
(Please bear in mind, this is a one time ban reversal. No further rule infractions of this nature can happen. Thank you!)
