Your appeal:

Sorry to bother, but i am confused. I got banned for 7 days for rule #3, what happened is that i called a predator “Jamaican"… I guess Stalkerino, who banned me, considers Jamaican a racial slur, or… i don’t know… to me is just a nationality and not a derogatory or pejorative term, and obviously is a reference to the “dreadlock-like” predator hair… I don’t really feel I’ve acted on malice and a warning would have sufficed for me to not repeat it. I’ve played CM for like 8 years, I feel that I deserve more than a just being slapped with a ban for something that to me is highly unclear and debatable; An extended detailed explanation of rule #3 would be nice, you have to have in mind that people of many ages and cultures play the game, and what’s offensive and what’s not highly depends on nationality, culture and age and what might be obvious to some is not a all clear for others. Thanks for your time.

Hey there, @Hackenbush.

I highly suggest you to check CM13 Discord server’s announcements. This rule change was announced to all players almost 2 months ago. While I don’t think you were malicious, ignorance is not a valid excuse. Appeal denied, I see no misplaced ban.
