Want to appeal my Autoban

[Unfamiliar]

I got autobanned for racism, know exactly why, heres what happend: I wanted to send (loot transfer system) my teammate a note that said the N word, as a joke with my teammate. As soon as i finished the note I got autobanned. I have never typed anything even close to that direction in any public chats and I have learned from this. It will never happen again and I would please like to be unbanned.

Hi @Unfamiliar

 

Thanks for holding a little while, I have now returned to handle your case. I see you indeed wrote the N word on a note, and the server flagged you for racism. 

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 you used, are not welcome in any context (So yes, also as a joke!).

  I just wanted to share some resources with you:

I also like to add this link, it is a direct stance on racism of any kind by facepunch: https://support.facepunchstudios.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007485418-Banned-for-Racism-Homophobia

 

If you could just verify that you understand the stance of the server as well as refresh yourself on our rules:

 

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.

 

Then I continue in giving you One chance to be unbanned, but this record is permanent on your record.

Thanks, looking forward to your answer.

Have a good day

Yes I fully understand the stance of the server and I am deeply sorry for this incident, as mentioned before It will never happen again. I also read the rules again, as per your wish.

This was a private note, you were able to read it only because you violated our privacy.

As you know privacy is a really important aspect of modern life.

Here is some documentation about privacy that you should read about:

 

What is privacy?

Privacy documentation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy

 

I also suggest this little conference that explains why privacy matters:

Hi 

 

@Unfamiliar

thanks for the proper response, you are now unbanned! I appreciate it.  

 

To regards what your friend Marin mentions, I have mentioned to him twice that this was a server automated ban, not a manual one done by me. You may send me privacy videos, but it won't change the fact that racism was detected on a server where the rules are very clear that it's not allowed and reprimanded. 

 

Have good evening.

This was a private ban appeal. You could have only read it by violating their privacy. Oh, what the world has become

Lol you're just ridiculous, please use your brain : First, how could you be here if it's private? It's public, on public website, on a public forum, anyone can come here and comment. Second, I'm his teamate and you are just a random person, I'm way more concerned by his ban than you since I play with him on a daily basis.

To be honnest it has been a long time I didn't see replies like that from staff member. Almost looks like automated chatbot responses.

No sorry, despite this being readily accessible with no expectation of privacy, kind of like a note, we get to choose who can see it. So you are violating privacy plis stop.

If only there were ways to communicate that doesn't involve writing them on items that physically exist ingame that anyone who has the item can read. Hmmmmm

That's wrong I can clearly read all threads on this forum. Not only the one from my teamate. That's unlike the note that he sent to me, that nobody can read because our base has locked doors and the storage in which he sent it to me was locked as well: Nobody could read it before we remove it, but since the bans happens immediately there's no way to remove it afterwards. This was never intended to be used as an insult to anyone or being displayed publicly, it's clearly a violation of our privacy, hence the misunderstanding.
