Your appeal:
I’m not sure what I did that warranted a 7 day ban. I called another character a ‘redskin’ which, speaking as an actual 1/32 Cherokee I would not call that a slur, probably closer to an epithet. If any in character behavior faintly construable as racist is against the rules, I think it should be stated more bluntly in Rule 3.
To quote the rules:
Usage of slurs IC/OOC on the server will result in a 7 day ban, automatically.
Racism of any kind is strictly forbidden and will not be tolerated.
Being homophobic, sexist or a general bigot is not ok, and action will be taken to rectify such behaviour.
I don’t think I used a slur, like I said, probably more on the side of an epithet.
This second one seems to be more aimed at being an actual racist in the community, and so does the third one.
Furthermore I’ve seen a lot of characters that play up on racial stereotypes, and those appear to be allowed, despite being racial caricatures themselves, but I’m not sure if we’re allowed to acknowledge that or what now.
