Banned for using in-game name Negro

Postby Cherm » Fri May 07, 2021 10:05 am

To Whom It May Concern,

I wanted to play Town of Salem today. When I attempted to log in, I discovered I was banned for using an inappropriate in-game name Negro. Many of those with African descent identify as Negro. Indeed, Negro is an identity on the 2010 US Census (https://www.census.gov/history/www/thro ... rview.html). Therefore, I do not believe this name is worthy of a suspension.

When I used that in-game name, I was not trying to insult people of African descent in any way. I denounce racism in all its forms.

Please review my suspension. Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
Cherm

The "all" doesn't work on an Appeal thread. Please read the bot's signature carefully.
