Perhaps you've misunderstood what I've said. I'm saying that if he apologizes, the warn should be revoked because he says it was an accident and he didn't mean to imply a slur. If the warn sticks then there is no difference between him stopping himself and apologizing or just throwing out the full word no remorse. You can't prove he was going to say the N word or not, just like he can't prove he wasn't going to say it or not, so shouldn't an apology be enough when the evidence is only existent based on a bias on Kessler?
Also, please refrain from saying things like "That's one of the worst takes I've heard of." when it appears you didn't understand what I was saying. Thank you.

I did misuderstand. I thought you were taking a "lesser of the two evils" take, my apologies.

Regardless of your opinion that that I know about your unwritten rules, I started playing again more in the past month.  Before that a bit in November.  Before that the prior November. 2022.  No matter how long you've been staffing this way, it's not there in the guidelines for players to read and follow.

Idk why I used italics on "opinion" so I deserve that. But as far as the rules go, the interpretation has been that saying "ni-" like you did is slur baiting. If you were trying to stop yourself from saying a slur, and that's what came out, I'm sorry but I still believe it falls under that definition, even if it was mistake. Accidental RDM is still RDM.

I still believe in the -1 for the reasons above, but I think you're still gonna end up waiting the day before a decision comes down on this, regardless.
