Really?? That name is inappropriate? Come on guys, don’t you think this is a bit too much? It’s not even a real word. Is it really worth wasting all of my progress?

The name constitutes both as harassment (calling another player the f-slur) AND evasion of the hard filter by circumventing it to use a homophobic remark. This type of hard filter evasion usually gets punished with a permanent ban, since we do not tolerate these kinds of remarks.

You will have to wait for an Admin or Jerme to make the final decision.

I understand that, but if you look at my chat logs, I’ve never harassed anyone. Also Keanu Reaves is not even a real player name. And my name isn’t meant to be a hate or degrading of any race, culture, or sexual orientation. You are putting me in the list of the racists, cheaters, and toxic individuals. Every thread in here has 2 or 3+ verified reports, compare them to this. I don’t think this is fair at all tbh

Please keep in mind that the usage of a banned homophobic slur as a chosen name may warrant a permanent ban.

I completely understand, it was a mistake and will not happen again. Didn’t mean any harm, and I’m not a toxic person. We have our days though.

Who do you mean with "we"?

I meant everyone has their day, no one is a saint. Also, Does this mean my account is gone then?

I will leave the final verdict to someone else, but that might be the case, yes.
Well, maybe no one is a saint, but there are those who do know that releasing their anger and frustration via chat is not the appropiate way to go and find an other way to deal with it, or don't even let others have the opportunity to frustrate oneself.

Do you believe that’s what I did there? Read the whole match and see if I disrespected Or released anger on anyone. You have to admit that this isn’t your typical report of player harassment / hate, because I have not said any toxic remarks throughout the whole game.

It was a general statement, and it might relate for you with the choice of the ign.

"fag" is hard-filtered in-chat, and filter-evasions of the hard-filter are a Permanent Ban.

Report is valid, and valid bans cannot be appealed.

If you'd like to resume playing, you may do so on a new account.

Appeal denied.
Please contact BMG with any questions regarding your account issues;

Thanks.
