Swagxy Ban Appeal (Stupidity Is Bannable)
« on: November 11, 2018, 10:11:26 PM »
- In-game name: Swagxy

- Date and time of ban? (Include Timezone): 6:00AM (GMT+8) 12/11/2018

- Which Staff member banned you? (Blank if you do not know) Migas

- Why were you banned? (What Appears on your ban message) Stupidity Is Bannable is what it says on the ban message. I believe I was joking around with Elizaaa in the discord and got banned for saying stupid? I thought joking was fine?

- Were you previously jailed or muted? (If yes, say why) No I haven't.
 
- Why should you be unbanned? I feel like there might have been a misunderstanding, I didn't call Elizaaa stupid in general but her question was stupid. If she/he was offended, I will apologise and it will not happen again.

You called her an idiot and used the term transgender as if it were an insult. Elaborate where the joke is, please.

Satirical humor. The people on this server is known to joke around with each other and that was a fair point so I accepted that. Calling me Justin Bieber seemed more of an insult too? Obviously that wasn't an intentional insult according to the staff members.. but apparently I was just too immature to get it was a joke. I used the term transgender and that wasn't an intentional insult towards Elizaaa but more of me just messing around same goes for "idiot".. I apologize if my humor is a bit too much. Some people don't get it and I understand. The joke is simply just satire and ironic humor. Sarcasm was also intended for the kicks and giggles..

I'm not someone that would be offended very easily and I accept your apology. I'm just more worried about the fact that calling someone a 'transgender' as opposed to 'Justin Bieber' are two very far ends of a stick.

Pushing aside the fact that apparently calling someone a transgender is an insult, we just met you. We wouldn't know you meant it as a joke or not. The staff have known the person who had light-heartedly called you that for a while so they obviously knew it was just a joke.

As for calling it a stupid question, it's the Internet. People do crazy things in real life.

Yes I understand, they are very far ends of a stick but such words are used into satirical humor or at least you can see a lot of those kind of DANK memes/meme community that has this kind of humor that people may very much dislike and I would understand as to why. I suppose I agree that you wouldnt know I was joking when I called you transgender and an idiot, because it was just me being ironic and sarcastic in a humorous way. I'm sure that also goes to the fact that a staff member mentioned that my name "Swagxy" sounds like what Justin Bieber would put his Minecraft name as... I got that as soon as I joined the server BEFORE even registering into the server.. although the staff member (fox) settled things out with me, she said she was in a playful mood which I assume is a joking mood as well. I just met her so I wouldn't know it was a joke as well? I clarified the issue with the owner and I received "he probably wasn't mature enough to realize it was a joke", so can I say the same about the staff member or.. right now we are all on the same page..

and the "idiot" part was a joke too? I am very much aware that it is the Internet therefore saying such things like "transgender" as a joke is crazy as well..

What you really meant was "I don't want you in my server".

Migas does not make choices on his own. It was unanimously agreed by higher staff that your behaviour and attitude do not fit our community, as in if we let you back in you will 100% get in trouble again because of it, so you are better off finding a new server to play on instead of looking for ways to further provoke Migas.

Your appeal is denied. You can re-apply after a month from today if you think you've changed.

I never said that Migas makes choices on his own lmao  ::) I never really got a proper reply back from my previous reply to Elizaaa. I never really got a reason as to why I was banned besides me just making a satirical joke by calling someone stupid and that I was apparently "immature" because I couldn't take jokes? I never got a proper answer as to why those things occurred? Now, you assume I am provoking Migas? Lmao? The proof is all in the discord chat.. hoping that the messages weren't deleted.

I am not looking for ways to provoke Migas at all, he was the one with his sarcastic reply on Discord and what's worse is that he was joking around WHILE I was literally explaining the issue in terms of why I was offended by the "Justin Bieber" name calling issue. I was just explaining and telling him politely that I was just simply offended due to the unwelcoming comment I got from a staff member the second I joined.. I was trying to explain that to him thinking maybe he would understand the issue better instead of assuming I am immature or intentionally DISRESPECTING his staff by calling them immature indirectly.

At this point, you are just validating our decision to decline your ban appeal. The problem is that you seem unable to accept our reasoning and, no matter what we say, you either find a reason to argue against it or get offended by it. You do not seem to recognize where your own faults lie. Rather, you are pointing the finger at everyone except yourself. Because of this, since it does not seem like your behavior would change if your ban appeal were to be accepted, we have decided you are not a good fit for our community. You should find a different server to play on.

I'm not FINDING a reason to argue against it.

I'm literally stating facts as to what actually happened and why I was offended but I get NOTHING from you guys regarding that situation and I got "stupidity is bannable" or as of right now, "your behaviour and attitude do not fit the community" so IS IT because I called Elizaaa stupid or because I made an ironic joke? I thought you guys joked around with each other isn't it, so I figured I could attempt in that manner too.

Sure I could also say that I shouldn't have gotten offended by a small matter, I don't deny that. You say "reasoning", so far I've gotten my "behaviour and attitude do not fit the community". Ok? Then can I have a reason as to HOW my behaviour and attitude is not acceptable? Have you guys read my entire reply? I have been repeating myself on what actually went down and WHY I WAS OFFENDED. I explained myself so many times and I got nothing from you guys besides "Appeal denied" or "behaviour and attitude do not fit" or "unable to accept our reasoning".. ok what is the reasoning exactly? I am not fit for the community or I get offended by it? or APPARENTLY I find a reason to argue against what you say? I haven't. I have been trying to explain and state what went down and why I was offended..

Yes, I definitely do not seem to recognize where MY own faults lie. Maybe it could be I shouldn't have felt offended by the "Justin Bieber" name calling which by the way, not allowed in the server. Maybe it could be because I was too immature to realize joking is a thing in the server? Maybe I am not accepting "appeal denied", "behaviour and attitude not fit" as the answer for my denial of appeal?

Whatever Fox said was nothing related to the INCIDENT of when I got banned. Are you guys reading this entire reply? Please do.

This entire topic is an example of why we decided to deny and tell you do not fit the community. Everything you state was explained to you at the opportune time and now you're just going on an endless loop, wasting your and our time.

Yes, it is. Read below.

Kind of. You might not be immature and no one ever said you were but with this specific sarcastic question, adding to the previous messages and replies, are not helping on this regard. Read more below.

Everyone told you it was a joke since the moment you pointed out. The person who did it apologized because we respect personal opinions. However, please do not quote "name calling" by its literal meaning. Name calling is when someone disrespects another person intentionally, which did not happen, and usually includes swearing and/or obscenities. As usual, we expect everyone to act mature, which includes understanding the difference between a joke and an offensive remark, and this is indeed mentioned on the rules. I am not saying you are immature but with this reocurring behaviour from your side, it's not on your favour.

so IS IT because I called Elizaaa stupid or because I made an ironic joke? I thought you guys joked around with each other isn't it, so I figured I could attempt in that manner too. [...] Then can I have a reason as to HOW my behaviour and attitude is not acceptable?
Both. You were being ironic when we were trying to make you understand to not be so literal about the rules on the server, and one of the mentioned rules on the conversation, by you included, was maturity. So that behaviour pretty much told us that you didn't care about what we warned you about. To add to that you used the word "transgender" as something depreciative and, according to our rules, bigoted remarks and, on this case, name calling (you had the intention to call her something depreciative even though the actual meaning of the word shouldn't have that intention) are not allowed on the server. We do not tolerate any kind of bigotry. Thus, this lead to your ban message "Stupidity is bannable" and you were told, before you got banned that you were getting banned for the message you sent on that chat, which pretty much gives you reason (which you say that it didn't exist).

Quote
I explained myself so many times and I got nothing from you guys besides "Appeal denied" or "behaviour and attitude do not fit" or "unable to accept our reasoning".. ok what is the reasoning exactly?
To add to what I said above, where I remind you the reasoning we told you before the ban, I have to say that you didn't explain yourself properly on the situation. Going back to "being offended because of Justin Bieber" doesn't explain and doesn't give you motive to make a bigoted remark and to have disrespecting behaviour towards another player of our community. If you say "oh you joked so I joked lmao?" as the explanation, that won't work because bigotry is not a joke and we take it seriously. We have people from all over the world with different mentalities.

Quote
Maybe I am not accepting "appeal denied", "behaviour and attitude not fit" as the answer for my denial of appeal?
I purposedly tried to keep the answer simple for two reasons. Firstly, it is because I didn't want staff to waste time with someone who isn't going to play on the server again in the near future. This ended up not being effective due to your need to loop it again back to the start and ask for things that were explained before. Secondly, because everything was explained before and, regarding your ban appeal, you knew what primarily lead to your ban (your message to Elizaaa).

If you want to go back to the start of the loop, repeat yourself several times regarding stuff that you previously had enough information about, please send me a private message instead of a reply to this topic. Any message sent here by you will be ignored.
