You've been banned by SERVER for Racism.


Recommended Posts

I was baited into renaming a sleeping bag to the n-word, instant ban.
For clarification, someone told me it wouldn't let me and to try it if I didn't believe them; they didn't explain it would prevent me by banning you.

Thank you for appealing. 
 

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.

Terms and derogatory words such as what were used on your account, are not welcome in any context. This includes in global chat, on signs, and written on notes or sleeping bags.

This is plainly stated on the server's loading screen before you enter.

Additionally, this is also stated on Facepunch's Terms of Service.

The term is socially accepted and was not used in a hate crime.
Please reference the current Billboard Top 100 songs in the United States. Two out of the top 10 songs use the word.

You are effectively being what you seek to fight by having Anti-Blackness policies in your community that attack black culture.

"With the modernity of the twentieth century, the N-word adopted a new meaning of brotherhood, friendship and solidarity, not only for African Americans, but also for numerous ethnicities."
