The date of your ban.

Member of the team that banned you.
Matt

Reason given for your ban.
1.2 Gang name deemed inappropriate as it is an act of discrimination

The Server you initially were banned on.
Server 1

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.
When joining back to the server I didn't initially know why I had been banned for, so I got in contact with Matt and James to help me out by letting me know what I had done. They later informed me that we had an inappropriate gang name which was "WOGSQWUAD" breaking rule 1.2 for discrimination. I was the gang creator.

Why should we unban you ?
The reason behind the name being "WOGSQWUAD" is due to the fact that when I had finally realised how to make a group (new to the server), I asked for a name for our gang in our private Teamspeak, a friend (doesn't play arma 3) shouted "WOGSQWUAD"in the teamspeak and so then I mindlessly wrote it in and pressed apply, not realising what the meaning behind the word "WOG" was. Having being informed about why I was banned by Matt and James in the role play teamspeak, I later realised after having searched the definition on google what the word meant, and instantly felt regret. I had no intention upon using the gang name as an act of discrimination, I simply wasn't aware of the meaning behind the word. I know now that I shall not be using that word ever, and would like to apologise to anyone who may have been offended, I just thought the name sounded cool. My mistake. Now that I'm better informed, I will make sure that both me and others continue to make sure that discrimination isn't happening. I'll ensure that I don't offend anyone with any sort of discrimination. I love playing on the server and hope to be back soon. My recent un-ban appeal was timed out due to not being here, therefore, I have re-submitted under the instructions of the role play team speak support team.

Please explain the rule you have broken and tell me why you think we have this rule in place.

I understand you may not have understood the meaning of this word, in future what would you do if someone tries to get you to repeat a term and you don't know what it means?

I'm writing my response...

The rule I broke: (1.2) Discrimination of any kind is punished by a permanent ban without appeal. I had a discriminating word in my gang name without intention and was banned because I hand't followed rule 1.2 which states that there shall not be any kind of discrimination .  

I respect the rule because I know that it deters and gets rid of any prejudice towards others, and it also stops people from feeling abused or attacked. The rule is there to make sure that any sort of discrimination is filtered out so that potential children or likewise adults aren't offended or seized to defend themselves against a immature act of aggression. The rule also intends to make sure that discrimination isn't a thing in the world we live in and reminds people that it isn't acceptable to use discrimination.   

If I was being told to repeat a word, I would make sure to understand why they want me too, but also notify myself of the definition before using words that I don't understand because I know that the word may potentially be harmful or offensive to others.   @TCK Matt

We'll go ahead and put this one down to a misunderstanding from your part and hopefully a lesson learnt.
