I know this is a clear violation but to be truly honest he wasn't a consistentley bad member. Even Jager was like hey is what I queued ok? I am all for banning jokes like this however the topic shouldn't have been brought up in the 1st place. He didn't start the conversation. Even I was surprised that he got banned. I am a member with 3 weeks of playtime on their belt.I did witness this and was quite surprised by the ban. I understand why it is taken seriously but I know for a fact there was nothing in my opinion that warranted him getting the permanent ban there were alot of jokes thrown about so I do think he did feel he was okay with this comment considering what all was said. We all make stupid comments in a moment like this I would like to see him unmanned as he isn't a bad player in my eyes just said something that went too far.
Regardless of if he started it or not, he has the cognitive ability to choose NOT to make these kinds of jokes.
Yes god forbid anything have nuance, the extent of any of your comments here have been "you did it and so you need to be banned" or "you're disgusting," context never matters and righteousness must prevail.  I'm not getting all Ricky Gervais here, I think it is okay for people to have some limits on what they will or will not joke about, but is your own opinion on the matter so glowing to you that you have to push down any kind of dissent?  "Oh that waffle is trying to make points that don't directly line up with the absolute I have outlined, I'd better hurry down here and state why all his points are invalid because (re-state absolute)."  You have people on here over the voice chat talking about how they're going to do horrible or explicit things to people (jokingly or otherwise) and usually as long as it's not too targeted or detailed the result is usually just a gag or a warning; I understand that you feel the need to draw lines on these kinds of topics but it seems more prudent to treat it as a spectrum.

I'd like to gain more context into how bad the jokes were but we take these things pretty seriously
Yeah that position makes sense, I have been keeping that manner of shitposting more in line for the most part; I did not register this particular snippet as breaking the same rule in my head (at least in the immediate) since it was part of a more serious discussion, but it's still not really something that should be typed into the chat in the first place if that's how this particular topic is handled.

You said you would like to gain more context, I am not entirely sure how to provide that beyond what I have already described, I don't record or anything and most of this was happening over voice chat (which I can hear but w/o mic so I type).
