I think all has been said here to some state. Admins will decide in a meantime about this ban.

The desicion would be to reduce the ban to 3 days and therefore not consider it as a racism, but on the other hand, accidental usage of racial slurs cannot be tolerated. However, there already was some spawnkilling on Moon Valley in the past, so the ban remains 7 days. It's been reduced only due to last ban having some overdue.

My first language is English and I take "whiteboys" to be very racist, so would anyone I know. The other issue which was overlooked was the use of the word "boys", if he had said "bots" or even "men" it probably wouldn't have caused all this. I actually have a lot of personal experience with this word which I will elaborate on if need be. But I'm not sure he meant it in a racist way. I think it was ignorance, a lesson learned to be sure.

A lot of colours are used in conjunction with other words and intended in a racist way (black, white, brown, yellow, red...). If I ever have to describe something using one of those colours I make sure never to follow a colour with ANY word that could form an offensive term. It's just common sense?

My first forum post!

The prosecution rests.

If the other admins will accept that as an excuse given that the rules of English on adjectives are very clear and we have other examples of your speech here, then so be it. I've nothing further to say.
Well spoken Aza as always .You a Lawyer or what :lol: .However the he Defence has not rested as of yet :D .I have read many holes in the (Drama).I think we should have a Mass vote on all bans before they are handed out.Imagine the Drama :D .This would be cool.We are all equal (= Thim about it.I could Appeal forever :)

And the letters "t" and "y" are really close from eachothers on the keyboards, maybe he meant "whitebots"?

e---e

And Azarael is right, since you have a private forum please use it to fight with eachothers, it's completly ridiculous when you two do it here, and it's not the first time it happens.
