It looks like their appeal was accepted 🙂 some bug causing an issue or something like that. I thought Anarchy because I saw their appeal there earlier, and so my apologies for the wrong forum category. I'll lock this thread since their appeal is done.

I moved this from off-topic to TTT anarchy.
I think the best thing to do is to wait until someone can respond. These are unpaid volunteers a lot of them with very busy lives and possibly living in a different part of the world compared to; they also might be in time zone where it's their sleep time, and so 3-4 hours isn't considered terribly long. I browsed through a few the other appeals and it looks like they usually respond within a day or two, but I don't think there's a hard rule on it. Mistakes do happen so apologies if it's unfair and hindering your fun- sorry. I'm only a forum moderator and cannot offer you more as I have no permissions over the game bans.

Do people count G-Eazy? I love G-Eazy.

Something with chips like chips and cheddar cheese (nachos), chips and salsa valentina... good old bread and butter. I'm willing to do a little bit more work for popcorn; I don't like those microwave popcorn packets so I buy the kernals and pop them on the stove. Salsa valentina on popcorn too 🙂 Whenever cucumbers are good and I have the buffalo classic then cucumbers with lemon and salsa.

Erm. Hate to say this. If anyone has offensive nicknames please be sure to make sure it's aligned with our rules before posting it.

I thought this might be fun.
Do you have a nickname? A lot of people in real life call me Joshy including family. Someone called me Joshy Washy once and the name stuck.
My best friend usually calls me Douche or Douchebag haha. I think a lot of people allow their best friends to use offensive names? I'm not sure. This happened because we use to work in the returns department of a large retail store. A lot of people try to be sketchy and return broken electronics, which came my way. I rejected a lot of sketchy returns and those customers would be very vocal about it sometimes using some offensive names.

My wife has a nickname: Salsa. It's because one of the little kids they couldn't pronounce her name and somehow accidentally called her Salsa. It stuck. Now her family calls her that, and since we're together they call us Chips and Salsa. We're probably going to nickname the baby Guac haha.

Oh gosh. I use to think Belgium was inside of Germany; also asked a person prior to visiting Sweden what language they spoke... apparently... Swedish.
edit:
I've already botched like the first 15 and Qatar is super tiny wow. I got lucky with Germany lol.

You have lots of ways to show positive behaviour on GFL for example you still have access to your forum account and you can post on the forums if you would like. I am supposing although I haven't checked, that you haven't been banned from the games and still play on our servers. We've had a few surprise superstars bounce back from their wobbly starts so it can certainly happen. Quite honestly lack of bad activity even from a ban is going to reflect okay on you although there's no way in heck someone with about 8 relatively recent incidents is going to convince anyone they have changed overnight. I've seen previous appeals they'll ask the person for about 6 months of time... I'm personally okay with 3 months if you'd like to retry an appeal.

You've previously avoided the censor before so you were aware of this issue. This was nothing new. I know it's for a different word, but the concept is the same.
Like I was saying about the "choke on water" comment... it's one thing if you're playing a game and die, and maybe in the heat of the moment you tell someone that you hope they hit their head something like that. Maybe you are chatting privately with a few friends and using slurs? I get it. I do that too. It happens in games. It's a very different thing if you target someone in a private message DM. I forgot to mention you called her a whore, and it didn't help your case that she's a very active person in the moderation team. It definitely did not look like it was friendly or in a joking manner to a friend.
The people on the team... yeaup... a bunch of volunteers and probably on the younger side too. It's not like they're getting paid for this. I'm not getting paid for this. We aren't royal guards you get to yell at and expect utmost professionalism or nothing in response; however: from what I've gathered they handled this ban in alignment with our rules and guidelines. The bottom line is you have a lot of infractions in a short amount of time and there is good enough evidence stacked against you. I've checked with the team to see if there's anything else, but there is nothing further to be discussed. This appeal is denied. You can redo your appeal in 3 months.

Looks like you have a lot of negative activity within a short amount of time. If you really want to be on our Discord channels you're going to have to work on that; otherwise our community might not be a good fit for you.
You're right that you did spell out nice cars, but the context and the way you presented the word reasonably provoked words we do not allow on our Discord channels. You were clearly playing with fire and a deliberate effort to skirt around our rules or censor will not give you a free pass.
SpoilerI get that this is a gaming community and sometimes people might say a little bit of cringy things maybe a bad joke between friends or after they die in the game (in the heat of the moment)... something along those lines. You went out of your way to target someone and send them a direct message. That's also not okay.
Context matters. It might not be literally spelled out in the rules, but Discord moderators made the right decision for your case. This wasn't some intricate way to connect the rules against you; you knew what you were doing and you knew the risks. You took a chance it worked against you. At best your punishment can be reduced, but we're going to need some type of promise or better behaviour before we get there, which is going to take some time. I'll check with other moderators to see if anyone can advocate for you at all, but I think we will be closing your appeal very soon.
-
Just a clarification here that I agree with the actions the moderator made given the information they had at the time; however: the group of us who are online had a brief discussion and will approve the appeal. The ban will be lifted soon. Thanks!
-
I'm acknowledging your response. Others are saying they would like a turn to speak or ask questions too. I just wanted to keep you in the loop and let you know that I'm keeping an eye and don't want your appeal to linger.
-
Hey,
First I want to apologize that there was no message sent to first. That was a mistake. I'm sorry.
I wasn't the one to ban you so maybe we can start off with a few questions and hopefully untangle this mess. Can you explain what was going on with these guys? They joined the channels all connected to you; it looks like they joined with bad intentions, and three of them even got banned for breaking the rules.

I'm a big fan of the website too. Welcome!
Sometimes looking back I feel like there are so many unnoticed ideas and points. It's interesting to see sometimes people were just way ahead of their time. Gosh looking back at my old posts, though, I think it's fair to say some brain cells had a shorter lifespan than I would like to admit.
Lurking around can be a little bit of fun. I've noticed some people they post on old threads. Be careful not to do that and double check the dates before posting because they have rules about necroposting. If you want to bring up an old topic... there's no direct rule about making a new thread, and there you can reference the old thread while seeking a fresh set of perspectives 🙂

I'm so dumb.
I was like...

No worries! You're good. I didn't want to bump back and forth with a reply. Thanks for letting the team learn more about the state of bhop along with some constructive suggestions. Very nice! It's always very hard to give feedback especially if it might appear like criticism. You're doing it the right way 🙂

Hey! Just wanted to keep you in the loop that I moved this from the General Discussion area to CS:GO Bunny Hop.

Answer: Autumn
Question: What is your favourite place to travel?
-
Welcome... I guess 🙂
SpoilerI'm just poking fun at the title. I sincerely welcome you.
I think we had a CS:GO TTT server briefly... not sure if it went online. Thanks for revisiting!

SpoilerI'm a big fan of Obama but I love this picture

Cool! I'm a twin too!
I don't believe in paranormal things, but I'm still easily spooked.

Congratulations to everyone
-
I suspected this was going to happen. It's not a bad thing. I can tell you're a very ambitious person. I wish you well with your endeavours; I think you're going to do great.
-
What does it mean to say that it's pseudo?
-
I have fond memories of old days too although I primarily played counter strike. There were many days I'd play until the sun was rising and it was time to go to work or school.










[Announcement] Community Representative Elections for April 2021

Directors and Division Representatives 🤣
On a more serious note: Good luck! I sincerely did not think CR would make it this far, and so great job so far. On a less serious note: I think we're about to watch the fall of the Romaine Empire; I also need to work on my dad jokes.
