In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.

I was banned as I went onto another community's TeamSpeak and caused drama. I went onto another TeamSpeak and was looking for an old friend on mine which stopped playing this community. When I was on that community I realised that they were people that I did not know very well and so therefore I changed my name from my real identity. I had heard a song going round which was highly racist and had heard the song on the day I joined the TeamSpeak. When I changed the name I stupidly change it to one of the main words in the song, with this my other friend joined and changed his name to the other word meaning that it completed the song title. I was then banned by a member of that community and combined we were both racist and were seen as trolling. Also, whilst on the community's TeamSpeak I was joining lots of channels to see how it had progressed as I was good mates with someone who used to be an admin and I knew about the server before it had a forum. However. me joining lots of channels constantly might well have been seen as trolling as I was filling up the TeamSpeak joining channel which I did not intend to do I just wanted to have a look around and see how they ran things.

What have you been upto in the last 6 months+ ?

In the last 6 months my life has changed dramatically due to family issues so therefore I have been keeping to myself and getting on with the important things in life. Now the issue is over and dealt with I can move on in life and so therefore I am getting ready for another year at college and trying to get the best out of my education. I have been playing a few games on the side but overall focusing on life.

Why do you want to return ?

I want to return as I enjoyed the server so much, I enjoyed every minute playing in game and meeting new people to going on TeamSpeak and chilling with my mates and having a laugh. I want to return to show the members that I am not a bad person I just messed up and need a chance to be forgiven, plus I want to get back onto TeamSpeak and have a good chat with lots of people which I have missed whilst not being on this community.

Why should we unban you ?

I think that I should be unbanned as I realise that I have made a huge mistake and would love to prove myself to the members of this community that I have let down. I am not a racist person and do not intend to be in the future I was just idiotic and did not realise what I was doing at the time. I now realise what I did was not permitted at all anywhere and love to show to myself and others that I can follow rules and that I am not a racist person at all. I think that I should be unbanned as this was one big fuck up on my part, this is the only warning and only ban that I have had in the 8 months that I played the server. I want to show people that I am not a bad person and that I just completely fucked up and now realise what I did.

Racism of any sort we have zero tolerance against. I'm not one to say, however this is not how to conduct yourself online. 

You was a very well known player in the community did you not think it would affect your name here and bring our community name out their to shame? We don't want to be known like that do you agree?

 

[Bigboyracer]

I didn't really think when I changed my name, I just did it stupidly.  I now know that after the incident it has affected my name which is not what I wanted in the slightest. I regret changing my name and wish that I didn't and that I still had the respect I had before this happened. I know that it is going to look bad on the community and like I have said I regret doing it in the first place. If I could I would go back and prevent this from happening as I am not a racist person in the slightest.

 

[Drew]

As long as you are aware that we won't hesitate to get rid of players who condone this, especially if anything like this happens on our community. We received a formal complaint and decided to take action. 

Moving forward, I hope this isn't the direction you chose and still apart of the childish trolling and comments?

 

[Bigboyracer]

I am fully aware of the consequences and therefore like i have said if i do get a second chance then it will NOT happen again. I agree with the decision which was made about my ban and the right decision was made.  I shouldnt have made the childish comments and are also something i regret and wont happen again. 

 

[Drew]

Okay, I'm willing to give you a chance here, don't let yourself down and prove to me that you can become a valuable community member.

Unbanned,
