Discord unban

[Outboarduniform]

BYOND Key: Outboarduniform
Total Ban Length: Permanent
Banning staff member's Key: ReadThisNamePlz
Reason of Ban: Unfunny/poor joke that parodied a white supremacist line.
Reason for Appeal: 

Honestly, I thought it was funny. I guess other people did not think it was funny. 

I said a joke that substituted the 14 points with Gadpathur since I thought it was a funny way to dog on Gadpathurian ideology a little bit. 

Won't do it again, now that I see that it caused a negative reaction that ended in a ban.

Sorry.

I also apologize on the brevity but I was informed of this mid round.

 

 

 

Here is the reference image. There was some context after that but I guess it doesn't really matter. The whole gist of it was some ingame banter between one character and a Gaddie and I was going at the angle of the one character changing their views to become more like a Gadpathurian.

 

 

Lastly, though it most likely doesn't mean much, I think that getting a permanent ban for this is very heavy handed. I by no means endorse white supremacism or fascism, and I did not mean to convey any sort of alignment or support of that nonsense by making this joke. The last time I ever received any disciplinary action was in 2019 when I was in high school, and the BOREALIS bot only registers one warning from Skull years ago. Though I am fine with just playing on the server and applying later if it comes to that, I enjoy the interactions on the discord and feel like getting banned on the discord freezes you out of a lot. 

 

Thank you all for your consideration.

We have a zero tolerance policy for this kind of thing. White supremacy is not funny, and will never be funny. 

I'm still thinking on this, and will talk to another Admin to get their opinion.

I mean I get it but at the same time I don't really think a very in-universe joke about Gadpathur really constitutes white supremacism. 

 

If anything it's a dig at it more than anything else by highlighting the absurdity of it,

Well, you recognize the issue at hand. I'll go ahead and unban you, because I do not think you'll do this type of thing again. 

Any more jokes like this though, and it will stick as a permanent ban.
