Dork Rash appeal
#1
Ingame Name: DickRash

SteamID: 76561198142758752

Who Warned You: Thaye (Who is Thaye? I have never met them)

Reason For Warn: Sexual Harassment

Applying for Removal or Expiry: Removal or Reduction

Reason for Admins to Remove/Expire: I made a distasteful pun about someone I would consider a friend on the server. It was sexual, but not anything I haven't heard from other players or staff before. I will quietly keep the sexual harassment warning if the person I said it about wants that.

What other active warns do you have, if any?: I have never had any warns or bans in my ~5 years here.

Other: I can provide the context and exact quote if staff wants. In general I will tone things down. I am sincerely sorry to anyone who doesn't like what I say, especially who I made the comment about. I will conduct myself differently moving forward.

I didn't even know he had said anything until like hours later. I just want to be clear I had no input to the causation or warn as the comment apparently was made towards me.

+1, what was said was not extreme in any way and the warn was placed without deer actually saying whether or not she was uncomfortable, can't just always assume dirty humor is sexual harassment

Under our staff guidelines we issue warns for all types harassment immediately. And if extreme or continues after the warn allow for mods to go for a perma ban.
#5
Ban is likely to expire before any decision but +1 for points reduction. From the sounds of it might have been too much to be said on public server but it doesn’t sound like it’s harassment in this case either.

@chibill i think the question is whether or not it counts as harassment, not how to punish harassment.

"Sexual Harassment (12 points) is behavior characterized by the making of unwelcome and inappropriate sexual remarks or advances."

dickrash was making a joke, not an advance, and d33r wasn't there to feel any way about it at the time. so the only question is if it was too inappropriate to be said on server. i don't think it was, but even if it were too inappropriate, that would warrant a verbal warning for overly offensive/sexual topics, and not anything to do with harassment.

+1 warn removal.

+1 Worse things have been said by staff (Myself included) as far as I know it didn't appear malicious or poking fun at the person. Just a pun that is too easy to play off of. UNBAN THIS MAN
"Listen I only have two things to say tiefling lesbian your a piece of shit and tdawg you take your job way to seriously and maybe you should get out of your mom's basement and shave your 30 year neck beard if y'all neede I'm staff at myraid which is 100x better than this pile of garbage so good bye and FUCK ALL OF YOU"

I was just replying to bunney as to why it was warned for even if D33r had not seen it or said anything about it, which is because that is how the rules have been written for well over a year.  Also I am going to pester web staff, default theme is being buggy with quotes now with that odd bug with the MMMMMs

Need input from whether d33r felt this was unwelcome and inappropriate. It was wordplay with the phrasing cum/come and is a joke I’ve seen many make without warning/offense.

I have friends on the server I would joke with to this extent, DickRash isn’t a random player coming in here harassing people or goading.

+1, if any warn is kept should be about overly sexual remarks not harassment

I'm certain this comment was not malicious, but I think jokes like these set a bad precedent for those who might make them in bad faith. 

That being said, I am in favor of a reduction to an Overly Sexual warn given the near-certain lack of malicious intent. It was a play on words that resulted in an ultra lame joke that seemed to only contain d33r's name because it was used by the person who made the original innocuous comment that DickRash was playing off of. 

+1 on reduction to a 6-pt Overly Sexual warn
