I've been tasked to answer the following questions for the slight chance of an unban:

1. Do you understand why racial slurs need to permanent bans? 
2. How are you going to avoid this sort of behavior in the future? 
3. Do you understand that if you are to be unbanned, you're on extremely thin ice and another ban will very likely result in a truly permanent ban?
4. Is there anything you want to say to Poke or the rest of the community? 



Answers


1) I now understand how racial slurs lead to perm bans. Racial slurs were made and still are used to carry harmful and deeply impactful meanings that can hurt many players on this smp as well as make them feel unsafe and insecure in a server that's supposed to be safe and a place to chill with friends for all communities. I now realise how racial slurs only harm this reality. I believe how responding with a perm ban is a perfectly reasonable, fair and serious consequence for my harmful attempt to gain comedic attraction from other players which is immature and irresponsible.

2) I have taken moments to self reflect on my actions and I now realise how it affects the mental wellbeing of other players. I'll consistently reflect on messages I post or reply with to make sure I can communicate safely and maturely while not sending disrespect to other members of the server. I'll avoid edgy jokes that may seem to be disrespectful and spiteful as well as trying my hardest to be more compassionate/careful when talking, develop a better reputation and positively influence myself and others in the future. I now know how many players unknowingly depend on how the community runs and thrives. And I will try will all that strength to show respect and help keep the community nourished and civilised.

3) Yes by a mile. Getting unbanned from a permanent ban isn't supposed to be taken lightly. I now realise that if I get unbanned, I will be on insanely thin ice and will have to accept that it'll my final chance on the server. I will try my absolute hardest to not receive another ban which may likely be a truly perm ban and, if unbanned, will continuously remain positively respectful and remain low profile for the foreseeable future with every message I send being humble . while avoiding potential further bans that could possibly everlastingly kick me out of the server for good.

4) I have two messages that I wish to share

Poke: I am profoundly sorry for any shots I took at you and I believe how many things I said about the moderation team could have fiercely offended you in any shape or form. I instantly regretted taking shots at you as soon as I learnt what a perm ban, which was perfectly justified, meant. You handled the situation perfectly and there was no reason for me to make you an example of bad ban appeal responding. I hope you can accept my sincere apology and can respond to more ban appeals in the future.

To the widespread community of hometown, I am again sorry with how I managed to make an unfunny joke that hurt tens of people in the server. Along with all other points I made in my appeal, I never intended to harm anyone or send inappropriate messages throughout the chatlogs of the server. This is something I regret and was rightfully punished for with a permanent ban. I now understand how it makes people feel extremely insecure and hurt in a server where everyone of all ethnicities should be able to join and play on HometownSMP without fear of intense racial discrimination. I believe to have gained the knowledge of realisation of how what I did was wrong and defies the base principles of HometownSMP.

Conclusion


After spending a productive hour of my time to write and edit my appeal as well as formally and responsibly analysing how my message impacted players on the server, my knowledge has expanded and as well as my pledge to never make a single edgy and unfunny joke so childless and immature ever again. I love how Hometown is the way that it is and it would be devastating not being unbanned. I wish to reconcile with the community and people of a higher rank then me. From the bottom of my genuine heart, I'd like to state on how truly love this server and it's friendly community. I'm insanely sorry for everything I've ever done and I hope you took the time to read my appeal that I plead to get accepted.

Yknow, I skimmed through this yesterday when I had a moment, and I thought to myself "Wow, this is actually an incredibly good response to the questions I asked, I wasn't expecting this!"

And then another staff member pointed out that this appeal was originally posted by another account, FIXEDCELL_747129



I took a look at that account's post history because it sounded familiar, and, in a stunning plot twist, I found that the account is actually banned for ban evasion of an x-ray ban. So you have not just slurring against you, but also x-ray, now two counts of ban evasion, and deceiving the staff team/server for the past 100 days since you joined on this new account. You were also banned for building something phallic before all of this and were permitted to return. You’ve have had a multitude of chances to behave yourself and have repeatedly chosen not to. This is not the type of player we’re looking for here, and thus your option to appeal any of your bans has been revoked. 

Your appeal, if it wasn’t already glaringly obvious, is denied. Creating an appeal for any of your accounts going forward will lead to your forums account(s) being banned for spam. I’m disappointed this is the route you took, because I genuinely don’t like declining appeals. They’re meant for players to take accountability for their actions and serve as an apology to the community that they wronged in some fashion. What they are not for are lies and deception, which is what you seemed to think was ok.
