7 Day ban for racism?

Post by SASHamish » Sat 02 Feb , 2013 7:44 pm

Hi guys,

I have been banned by socio for 7 days for alleged racism.

I did not make racist comments towards anybody, furthermore I was not given a warning which In my opinion would've implied gentlemanly conduct in this matter.

I look forward to discussing this issue with LDG so this ban may be lifted. I am normally quite a fair player but I do go a little OTT sometimes but this is all down to the music I listen
to whilst playing, e.g - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_6jDPTokXs

Thank you

Here are the rules on the LDG Gameservers:

0. Instant ban offenses at a glance:
Racism - 7 days.

There is no obligation for an admin to warn when banning for racist terminology. The ban against the use of the word "nigga" was challenged and the challenge failed on the grounds that all racism should be unacceptable, given that there is no absolute requirement to bring race or any racial epithets into an online game where none of us actually present our race.

Thank you for providing me with the rules.

I was not being racist in terms of the context in which I used the aforementioned term in.

As I have never been racist or rude before during my time at LDG, is there no way I could be reprimanded in another way instead of an instant 7 day ban. I at least deserve some sort of warning that I in fact "was being racist".

You should allready be aware of the rules by playing on the servers. Your words only prove that you didnt read them before and Ignorance is no excuse in law.
And for that ignorance we dont need to warn you....especially not for racism !

Fair enough. But what I'm implying is that I am not a racist in any way, shape or form. Can I not have my sentence revoked?

And this is where I quoted from - http://lybio.net/dave-chappelle-for-wha ... th/comedy/ - Quite a popular quote.

Racism is not tolerated and it doesnt matter if its "quoted" from songs or tv shows. Take a look at the song in HellbenderRace[Nightmare]s "Pussy room", it was removed because of the "n" word. And I dont thought you are racist, you just failed to follow the rules.

Thank you for your explanation.

Finally, please tell me when my ban will be lifted?
