So I've seen the evidence now that I'm home.
I think Ethan should comment on this since he issued the ban, but I suspect that the trolling, multiple warns for slurs, and a multitude of gags for Mic spamming, toxicity, and staff harassment were likely factors into this.

So let me ask you this, because based upon what I see it appears that the threat made was baseless.

Will you agree to read thoroughly our rules, and follow them?
Will you agree to stop harassing our staff members for doing their job, and stop mic spamming and being toxic?
Will you stop using slurs?

I think counting for all these factors, an unban would be inappropriate. But a reduction of a week or two is probably in order. I don't think the doxxing comment has logged was enough to perma ban. But we have to address the other issues here too.

Anyway, +1 reduction to say 2 weeks, I have concerns about his definition of joking. I think you really need to reevaluate how you're going to joke when you get back in the game. Slurs aren't funny, harassing staff isn't funny, and Micspam isn't funny. But I don't think permanent is appropriate nor is it within our guidelines.

Yes, I read the rules and agree to follow them. Correction, for the zenth time, I slur-baited once and I got punished for it already, so double jeopardy in that regard. During that fiasco, I did not use any slurs, I was only slur-baiting, and yes, I will stop using them. For some reason, others were slur-baiting at the time too so I just jumped on the wagon, yes, it's normally not funny, but research some articles on mob mentality / crowd psychology. 
Trolling is literally an essential component of every multiplayer game, and sure, there are lines that shouldn't be crossed, but GMod is like the ultimate trolling game and it has been for years. I'll stop the distasteful trolling and limit myself for the sake of this thread's purpose and myself. I micspam occasionally, but it's just to make funny noises and shit. It's not like I'm singing, screaming non-stop, or playing earrape sounds or music, this was one of the first things I think I got punished for. A well-timed 1 second micspam is comedy gold. Basically, if you make any noises besides talking you get gagged which is fine I guess, you do you. I did this maybe a few times.
Staff harassment, okay, I will own up to that one and I apologize. It's just frustrating when every mod is a megalomaniac with an itchy finger for gagging/kicking/banning anyone who makes any minor offense. Like seriously it's GMod, it doesn't have to be North Korea every second of the day lol like it's not that serious. If everyone was banned every time they broke a rule or almost broke a rule, the server would be empty let's be real. This was about the extent of my toxicity, which in the perspective of the bourgeois, was justified against the authoritarians. I wasn't joking around when I was harassing staff, so no, it's not funny. So yeah, when people were getting punished left and right that day, it irked me a bit, but I agree to shut the fuck up from now on. It's just GMod so I guess I shouldn't care if there's injustice among others. Consider me reformed and agreed to your terms. Glad someone has finally seen how trivial this all really is.
