tbh, it only ever became a popular thing when we didn’t have discord. Shoutbox was the old, like, discord #general chat. It’s hardly used anymore except by the same like 7 people who just say hi back and forth.

Aye. So, being that I was the moderator who actually banned you, I figured I would reply to this appeal to give my side/thoughts.
Off the bat, I would like to say that the event leading to your ban was a GIF that was, I guess to say, voted by mods to be considered as NSFW/Explicit Content:
SpoilerFor content purposes, this is how I would describe it: An anime girl making motions with her hands and cheeks as if to be giving a blow job. This is my interpretation, if you or any other moderators need the exact GIF link I can provide it for reference.
So, I had noticed this GIF posted in chat, it's not logged which channel but I would assume one of the general chats. I brought it to the attention of the moderator team to get their advice, being that it did depict an assumed NSFW action, without the "content". It was discussed, and it was Benroy who ultimately made the recommendation that a ban be placed for the action, which all moderators in the discussion agreed upon. Along with the discussion over the GIF was also a broad discussion over your overall behavior history which I believe came into play with the overall punishment. It was discussed that you had a tendency to "edge" rules, meaning you didn't break them specifically but continuously came close or seemed to enjoy riding the border of the rules. I am unable to provide examples or context to this specifically, being that I have only seen it myself maybe a handful of times, though I figured I would mention it since it seemed to have played a big role in the discussion we had.
So, now that I kinda explained the details of events leading to the ban, onto my next little spiel. Even though I am not a senior moderator and have no official say in this, I would be inclined to believe two months is a reasonable time spent banned. I will say aside from this ban, the only other infractions are two bot warnings for slurs (as you stated above), and a bot ban for "10 mentions", which was unbanned like, 2 minutes later, so I guess that would be kinda irrelevant. It was a bad GIF what you posted, and you did a lot of edging the rules, but if you are true on your word that you reflected on your actions and will improve, I don't personally see a reason to hold it against you. Though, like you also said, "I understand that if you show mercy and unban Ill be on the thinnest line that will snap if I do anything remotely wrong". This is very true, and more than likely any further infractions would result in an irreversible ban. But again, I personally see good reason to give you the chance.
I would like to again state that my opinions on the outcome of this appeal are solely that, and do not reflect or represent the senior moderators who's word actually matter in these appeals. But like I said, I wanted to give my POV of what happened and what I think, since I was the moderator who had issued the ban. Please allow proper time for the rest of the moderator team to discuss the outcome.

I think this is the example he's trying to make:
"2 warning infractions for rule X break previously. Player breaks rule Y, and instead of a warning, they get the next step up due to the previous infractions"In other words, a guide on stacking rule breaks that are not directly connected.
(Please correct me if I'm wrong, and if I'm 300% wrong lmk I'll just delete this)

Hey. Being the mod who was directly involved, I wouldn't feel right not responding to this myself. So, as already stated, when you posted the GIF in rotation-general, I had removed it shortly after, and gave you the heads up that it was "eh". At that time, I had intended and wrote it up as just a "delete and verbal warning" kind of deal, and had left it like that. Not long after it was brought up as a discussion between moderators as to if it warranted more than that. The Senior's came to a decision that there should be further action taken due to the GIF posted. The discussion was quite long, which took up a good amount of time between the initial post and the mute. I don't know exactly how long after the topic was brought up, or how long it was deliberated, but that's why there was such a delay between the post and the final infraction.
1 hour ago, BestKevin said:For Punishment on Explicit Content (minor):
warning -> 1 day mute -> 3 day mute -> 1 week mute -> permanent muteI do want to acknowledge that yes, this is the posted guideline for punishments on Minor Explicit Content. Also, looking at your previous infractions, I did see that you had no previous Explicit Content infractions filed. However, it was decided by Senior Mods, the same as how my verbal was being upgraded, that it would be upgraded to a 12hr mute. I cannot provide insight as to how or why they came to that decision, partly I may have not understood their reasoning or just didn't pay attention to the conversation. Once it was decided, I was informed to upgrade the infraction as such, which is what I did (I attempted to send you a personal DM, but couldn't cause we were not friends on discord at that time).
I just wanted to add my own context/point of view on the matter. It isn't up to me the outcome of this appeal, but this is my take on things.

Your ban expired almost two months ago, why are you appealing it now?

Hi. I just wanted to give a short response real quick. It doesn't seem like you were banned from CWRP necessarily. You were banned from I would assume a closed down server, so no longer shows where, and in 2015, long before CWRP existed for GFL. However, I have alerted both our server managers towards this appeal due to nature of the ban, and hopefully either they can assist in the appeal, or notify the persons who can assist you.

I agree with comrade, I don't think server needs a new regiment right now

I worked through the entire holiday, and haven't had the chance to celebrate with family yet. But one thing I did get for Christmas was to fight someone who was being an asshole, so I guess that's cool, right?

I use Razor. Mainly because it was a cheaper option of what I was looking for, and obviously all of my things are Razor because my OCD wouldn't stand the different models.

can confirm he's real, wanna know how I know?
my friends and I a few years back all left letters next to the milk and cookies, asking for Santa's signature. cause, who wouldn't want an autograph, right? When we woke up, the letter was signed, and we then compared it to each other, knowing the only way for them to be similar is if Santa signed it himself (we lived miles apart). We met up not long after and compared, and the signature was identical. Proving, yet again, Santa was real.

It wouldn't be the brightest or most wonderful thing ever, but I suppose it would be like visiting a video store that has XXX stuff in the back or maybe a designated smoking area at a university or airport. You don't have to go there if you don't want to and and you what you're risking if you do (ie. slurs, NSFW images, spamming).
just sayin, I would contribute to such a server

Also, who says gravity if flipped? He might walk by doing handstands, and use his feet as arms. You never know. Or, he might just be eternally falling but with a computer.

Brae leaving, third times a charm.
