can I get an explanation for this?

If you feel a ban has been made in error, appeal it here.

No you can't. It's a banned word [including its variations] regardless of context on these servers.

Lol,

as i now saw in the bans-section, nearly every player that frequently plays on LDG, has been banned one time at least. That makes it less worse for me. Seems to be a local sport :mrgreen:

Cloud and Rotten are clear bans. Henki could be treated like that Pelaaja guy in "whiteboy" case (he got normal 3-day at the end).

Hi
My online name is [FnG]Bufty, I made what I stupidly thought was a sarcastic comment. I was instantly banned.
I am aware of the rules now that I have read them, and will comply with them.
I am in no way racist, prejudiced or bigoted in any way and I apologise most profoundly if it offended anyone...it will not happen again, I generally get on with all the characters that play ut2004, ballistic server.
Could I please be reinstated as I enjoy the games, even though I am not that good.
Regards Billy

I was about to write it yesterday yet but i ll do it now. I really think he didnt mean it that hard, and he is really not a second Michie with this talking etc. At least 30 days i find too long, as he didnt do anything bad before. Give him 3 or 7 ?

Re: [FnG]Bufty (who couldn't even work out how to start a separate thread!)

facepalm

I'd humbly request a reduction in ban length too - given that he's from a generation where mocking that period in history was the natural response to having (almost) lived through it.

He may be a miserable old codger occasionally, but he's harmless and literally takes plenty of our flak. Having played on the same servers as him for 5 years+ I'd give him a break.

Of course, I wouldn't bother speaking up for anyone else, for that offence.

I have no opposition to a reduction, but the others need to weigh in as well.

I agree to a three day just cause of his flawless behaviour before.

I was actually surprised Bufty got banned... he is not miss behaving at all, or doing something wrong... his behavior is constantly and consistently good... Most likely he had a strike, I agree with Skaldy to give him a break, everyone makes mistakes sometime in a while.

Bufty is the little bunny rabbit in the way (for being harmless and his "HUP HUP" sound every time he double taps). I don't see why he got that big of a ban since he doesn't speak at all or miss behaves.

I think needs a reduction, as long as he doesn't kill me after joinha
but seriously, 1st ban 30 days to the bunny rabbit, doesn't seem legit to me :(
