incarnator DISCORD Unban Request

[incarnator]

BYOND Key: incarnator
Total Ban Length: Permanent
Banning staff member's Key: mattatlas
Reason of Ban: "you are not wanted here"
Reason for Appeal: I do not respect _nazis, and I eat them for breakfast (and not in a good way)
More to the point, though, I get why would someone derive that (although personally offensive, yet one that I, admittedly, caused myself) assumption from my discord display name, but, since it never came up before, the thought of getting permabanned for it didn't cross my mind. I've changed it now and shall never let the mistake of letting people think I'm a _nazi LARPer happen ever again, thank you.

P.S. And, well, right before getting the banhammer at my face I changed my display name to my ckey, anyway, which I intend to keep so.

I have to ask why you set your Discord name to "albeit max frei" and then said that your name is from "your favourite book author" in this case.

Max Frei is my favourite book author! Albeit, without the "albeit" part. As far as I know, they aren't a nazi, either. Quite renowned among the avid russian fiction lovers, actually. As I was getting banned I was removing the "albeit" part, so now my display name proudly sports the name of my favorite book author without being spoiled by english interjections and/or references to past genocides!

Well, this is the problem. You say you were sporting the name of your favourite book author, and that would be fine, if not for the fact that you willingly and knowingly added albeit next to it to look like "arbeit macht frei".

What I am actually wondering is why you added that part to the name at all, given that "albeit max frei" would raise eyebrows for anyone that knows basic second world war history.

Not to get into many tangents about the non-existant forethoughts to coming up with the name at hand, the German language and relation between it, me, and Max Frei, I've had it as my display name for a while, which I didn't pay too much heed to, as neither did anyone else since that discussion never came up. To reiterate, not much forethought went into the name, and, especially, not some malicious intents or dogwhistles were intended. I don't tie myself to that nickname tightly to any extent, and especially don't want to have anything to do with it if it makes people assume I am an actual _nazi, hence the fact that I changed it already. For all I am right now considering, I might change it to "IchHaßeNazis" to make it more clear.

I talked with some other staff about this situation and I've taken the decision not to unban you. I simply don't believe you, particularly so when you showed up with that name with zero connections to the server.
