i said a prohibited term in direct channel to the individual who was in the car with me

Why should we unban you ?

I use this term quite frequently towards my friends and i intended to say it in vehicle chat. If i am unbanned i will remember not say this word on the game but keep to myself or on teamspeak that is not related the this community. Im sorry if this has caused any issues and i will repeat again that this was of course not used the offend anyone

The word you use.  is a derogatory term used to insult your ancestors. See,  You using it teaches others to use it. You're saying it's cool. Well, it's not cool
while we understand some words have different meanings, we do have a list of key words which are not permitted in this community regardless of who is using them and irrespective of context. Vulgar and potentially offensive words are not permitted. We also discourage the use of offensive language.

why did you think it was acceptable to use it ? 
 

 

[ajspies1]

I used the term to my friend who i know in real life. He is white and he doesn't take offence to the term and we were in a car in the middle of now where so no one would of of picked up the direct. I don't use the term to anyone i don't  know or anyone who doesn't like the term. I have friends who take offence to the term and i simply don't use it around them. The main reason why i found it acceptable was because it was only going to be picked up by my friend who i know isn't harmed by the term. I understand now that admins check through the logs and i'm sorry if i have offended you or any of your colleges. I understand that the term has a lot of history and non of it is good. In the future i will make sure not to use the term at all in this community.

I can't recall calling myself that on the RPUK server or on arma. I use that name as a joke within my friend group. As I said in my previous comment it doesn't offend them nor me and I wouldn't use it to offend other people. I don't think I've ever gone to the trouble of changing my profile name to it as it's a pain in the ass. And if I did I probably would of joined the lobby realising my mistake and then going back to the menu to change my username. As I've already said I'm not offended by any of it, I'm quite thick skinned but I definitely acknowledge the history and respect that hence why I would never use it to offend or attack others who are.

if we choose to unban you, What can you bring to the community? 

 

[ajspies1]

i can give back to the community a good role playing experience  for players. this is because i tend to prefer talking my way out of situations instead of using force. I come up with creative scenarios that have often left people laughing and its one of the only reasons why i play on the server.

What have you learnt from this?

 

[ajspies1]

I have learnt that I should not use derogatory words under any circumstances that may offend other people and that it's wrong to think that it's acceptable because I reside in that certain group.
