Ban Appeal: pandapoops | Ban Appeal | Forum

I would say someone's race is crucially important when you consider matters such as these. Traits such as race are correlated with certain cultures and upbringings, which go on to affect the language we use. Saying race doesn't matter is taking a stance on a sociological issue which is, obviously, beyond the scope of a Minecraft server. Though even with my race aside, I'm not sure what the issue is with obscene language solely between two individuals who are accepting of it. It would be like if my cell phone service provider cancelled my service because of a text I sent to a friend. On the other hand, if I was randomly dialing other people and using "hate speech", I could see the rationale.

But the ban's fine, realistically. You guys can run your server however you like; I just think your rules are naive. As I said, my /tell was not meant for anyone other than my friend, so the fact that you deny my appeal because I didn't apologize is effectively saying that you want people making ban appeals to prostrate themselves. What was to stop me from apologizing while doing nothing but switching my message to an IM window beside my Minecraft window? Simply so your server logs don't have a few racial slurs?
