Who Banned You: @KaptainLes
Reason For Ban: "10 Point thresehold [sic] reached". This followed a 4 point warn for Racism/Sexism/Derogatory Language/Slurs by Les. I got a Giorno Alternate (still no Gojo), cried on mic, and @Billiam_LOL and @nico mocked me ruthlessly. I proceeded to say "shut up, niggas," but I released the PTT key part way through. This is the video evidence of the moment, ty Les: https://streamable.com/bceoax
Length of Ban: 1 day
Reason for Admins to Unban: Removing my 4 point warn would put me below the ban warn threshold, so this is effectively a warn appeal.
I was going to say an exaggerated form of the word "nigga" which I have recently said on server multiple times while staff were present and not been warned. If anything, this falls under the "Slurs" part of Racism/Sexism/Derogatory Language/Slurs, but I wasn't using the hateful form of the word. Per staff guidelines: "Racism is defined as any type of offensive language that is directed at other people based on race or ethnicity." I did not direct this in a hateful or derogatory way, and I was not directing it at anyone based on their immutable characteristics, but rather at Billiam and nico for bullying me for crying. If I had held down my PTT I don't think I would have gotten a warn, which brings up the topic of "slur baiting."
I was told this might fit under "slur baiting," which I've heard people on the server mention but outside of Dinks I have not heard of it and was vague on its meaning. The staff guidelines state, at the end of a paragraph outlining warning guidelines for slurs, "This includes baiting for slurs or any other language not tolerated on Dinks." I was not, per Urban Dictionary (1 result) [the staff guidelines do not have a definition of slur baiting], "Acting like you are about to say a slur then actually saying something else." I was trying to say "niggas" but let off my PTT.
I was not being hateful, derogatory, or malicious towards anyone. I was not slur baiting. I was trying to complain about not getting Gojo after 180+ Model Crate 7 openings.
Also, my other 8 points of warns are from November and both expire in the next few days. I'm on the wagon.
Have you been banned before (Link relevant threads):
My only forum posts are the appeals for them. They are years old. The first I asked for while I focused on life stuff, the other two were successfully appealed. I think I hit the day/3 day warn threshold a few times for slurring as well.
Other: My three warns of 2023 were for slurring. I pm'd @[DSI]ToxicVoid7 and @syn slurs which were not comments on their sexuality or intended to be hateful towards their immutable characteristics, but rather comments on their gameplay. Also @PandaInPants warned me, but I don't remember that.
Whether or not this warn is removed I think that a clear definition of "slur baiting" should be added to the rules/staff guidelines.
