[US] RustEZ Survival PvE ban - apology

[netgoth]

Hi there,  

I have been banned from the server for repeating homophobic language that was said in chat by user "Bubbles". As the other player did not catch a ban for using the exact same terms, I was erroneously under the impression that your chat filter did not filter/recognize them. Being a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I admit, those particular terms tend to get under my skin, and between that and just having a particularly craptastic day, I foolishly popped off in chat. This is, however, not an excuse for adding to Bubbles' toxic behavior on the server, and I'm ashamed and embarrassed that I did so--even when I recognized that Bubbles was trolling. I should have reported them and kept quiet, but I didn't. I'm sorry for my behavior and causing an issue. I deserve the ban, because I totally did the stupid thing, and won the stupid prize for it.  

Thanks for letting me play on the server for a while. You have a great community going here, and I'll miss being able to log in and be a part of it. o7

Thank you for reaching out. Moving forward regardless if it is quoting another player please make sure to always follow the server rules.  

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.  

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

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