Semper 0 Posted May 10, 2012 Player Name (at time of banning):An Unfagranced Hispanic SteamID:STEAM_0:0:3189699 Ban Reason Given:Racism Server Banned From:PB Why you believe your ban was unfair/disproportionate (Including any evidence to support your claim): My name previous to this was A Smelly Mexican, the reason for the name was because the map we were on at the time resembled something you'd expect from a movie set of mexico. After jasper had to repeat to me the admins asked me several times to change my name, I asked why, Racial stereo typing. I went on to say they wouldn't have an issue with it if it was Smelly Frenchman, Englishman, Italian, American etc but before I concluded my point I was kicked. I came back on the server and made my point again, but the admins disagreed. I cockily changed my name to something more "politically correct" because I was starting to get a little rustled. To be quite honest with you I've never once been banned from PB, never once accused of being racist, and my intent during this entire affair was not to be racist either, it was simply a name that was meant to be fun and apt that was taken out of context in the worse way. I'm asking nicely based on my previous clean record to let this go. If the answer is no, fair enough but I won't be as willing to come onto a server who tar everyone, especially someone who has been coming on the same communities servers for the last two(?) years, with the same brush as all the other genuine racist.

Semper Posted May 10, 2012 On another note, I realise I was being a cock, but this was only due to the fact I felt my point was being disregarded unfairly. Quote Share this post Link to post
Biggles Posted May 10, 2012 We made a simple request which was for you to change your name as some people can easily get offended by that and you were just being an ignorant dickbag about it the ban is an hour long, suck it up Quote Share this post Link to post
Lynet Posted May 10, 2012 Just another thing, there is a rule 24 saying "Listen to the Outbreak Admins at all times." so you ignored that when u didnt change ur name when told. just saying Quote Share this post Link to post

Biggles Posted May 10, 2012 Once you did notice the warnings you were refusing to so thats not really relevant Quote Share this post Link to post
McLovin Posted May 10, 2012 After reading this it seems you have come off quite lightly. As in racism is taken quite serious in this community. Aswell that when you ignore an admin and then go into an argument about it isnt wise either. For the whole "If you dont unban me I wont come back" thing I heard it before some did come back and some didnt. I dont really care the servers are meant to play on and if you dont like to play on the server due to this well to bad. All I can say is were talking about a light 1H ban for racism here. Next time think again and listen to what your told to do. Quote Share this post Link to post
Semper Posted May 11, 2012 After reading this it seems you have come off quite lightly.For the whole "If you dont unban me I wont come back" thing I heard it before some did come back and some didnt. At the time of writing what I said, which by the way you incorrectly quoted, I thought it was the standard one week ban, and I did not say I would not come back, however most of Outbreak have known me for a while and know that I am by no means intently racist and I would be thoroughly disappointed if they treated me like I was. My name was very subjective to everyones opinion, and although in that regard I feel I have a point, I accept I should not have been a dick about it and listened to the Admin. Please don't mistake: "If the answer is no, fair enough but I won't be as willing to come onto a server who tar everyone, especially someone who has been coming on the same communities servers for the last two(?) years, with the same brush as all the other genuine racist." As me saying "Unban or I ragequit forever", I just believe some know me better than that. Anyway, the ban is over, I'm putting this behind me, learnt my lesson etc etc and will continue to have fun.
