If you have any evidence against @Damien of him baiting people into warns and bans, dm or let any staff member/admin know of this situation if it happens in game. Without any evidence, statements or allegations of the abuse don't help your statement. 

As for the issue at hand, since it obviously made Damien uncomfortable with the edgy and opinionated statement on the joke, I have to agree that this was a joke that did not land and was used with staff discretion. Based on the staff guidelines, this is the statement included under pedophilia jokes/pedophilia conversation. 

[b](Staff Discretion: Be careful with how you administer this. If someone is indirectly talking about the topic from instances elsewhere, please verbally warn them to stop. Otherwise, instant warning)[/b]

With that being said, it was not mentioned indirectly and the staff discretion in question was used correctly. As per the banter between both sides, do not post comments that don't aide in the ban appeal. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it, this thread is not the place to fight. Thank you. 

As for the thread, I am neutral, due to your statement of waiting out the ban for the week. If your ban is to be reduced, learn from this and don't make the same mistake again.
