Ban Appeal (Hate Speech): CptCarter

[CptCarter]

Hello, I am here to appeal the ban on my account for hate speech.

Firstly, thank you very much for taking the time to consider my appeal. Secondly, I want to say that I am truly sorry.

I have been playing this game for a good amount of time now, and anyone who knows me knows that I love trolling. I love to give and receive a little laugh as often as possible because I feel that laughter is the best medicine. This does not excuse my behaviour, however. It's come to my attention now that my trolling has gotten out of hand, and that I may have offended people with my jokes. A few times, I have entered games and made homophobic jokes, which I realize were taken as meaningfully hating people based on their sexual orientation. An example of this is when I play evil roles, and I want to cause the town to random lynch another townie. I then started trolling, saying "let's lynch the gays!" and then proceeded to accuse random townies of being gay so that I would have a ridiculously stupid reason to lynch them.

I want to say now that I am truly very sorry for these jokes, and that absolutely no more hate speech will be spouted by me from here on out, even IF they are meant as jokes, and absolutely nothing more than that. I did not mean to offend anyone, I just wanted a good laugh out of the game for everyone involved. I've even attempted lynching Mayors this way just for the absurdity of it, and it almost worked! xD

To other people I may have offended, I am truly sorry for my behaviour, and I really wish that I had been smarter in choosing my trolling tactics. Hate speech is never the way to go, even for a laugh, and I see that now. I ask that those I've offended forgive me for my stupidity.

May I please have my account unbanned, or at least a reduced sentence? I love this game, and I really would hate to lose my account. I've bought the Coven expansion, as well as the Steam version, and I really don't want to lose it. I promise you, no more hate speech will be spouted from now on. You have my word.

Here are your reports:

• Hate speech/Harassment
• Gamethrowing

[CptCarter]

I have already admitted to my homophobic slurs, and again, I apologize for them, and absolutely no hate was meant by them. I troll a lot, but won't troll with hate speech anymore.

About the Gamethrowing, I said I wanted to lynch the VIP, sure, but I don't remember ever actually voting him up or giving his identity away. That was in November of last year, so I don't fully remember. I would say the Gamethrowing report was unreasonable, but I fully admit to the hate speech, and apologize profusely for it.

Keep in mind that only invalid reports may be appealed.

[CptCarter]

Does this mean that I've lost my account forever, or do you think there is any way I can have a suspension at least?

[CptCarter]

Revenge won't solve anything. We f**ked up and we kinda deserve this. I'm just asking for mercy, but no one is obligated to grant us anything. Let it go mate.

[Jerme]

That are our current appeal rules, so there is not much I can do if a case like this happens.

Report is valid and valid bans cannot be appealed.

Appeal Denied.
