Your appeal:

I am a long-time player, having played SS13 since 2018 and accumulated over 500 hours in Colonial Marines. I had to stop playing for a while due to personal and health-related reasons, but I recently returned and even purchased a BYOND subscription, excited to play SS13 and CM again.

However, I wasn’t aware that some rules had changed over the years. In the past, I also contributed to the community, including submitting some code changes that are still in use today. That’s why I feel that receiving a 7-day ban without a prior warning is a bit excessive given the behavior in question.

I never intended to offend anyone by using the term “Jamaican” once, and I certainly never meant to break RP. I understand that the RP rules and internet culture policies have changed, and I’m doing my best to adjust to the current standards.

I respectfully ask that the ban be reconsidered, especially given that I don’t recall having any prior offenses or notes for bad behavior.

Thank you for your time.

Hey there, @spircen.

We have zero-tolerance policy when it comes to slurs. Rule 3 states, usage of slurs IC/OOC on the server will result in a 7 day ban, automatically. Slur bans are not appealable, therefore I can’t approve this appeal.
