MutedMike 151 / 4,173 Report Post Posted May 28, 2022 Which Discords(s) are you appealing?: GFL GMOD Discord username (Add your tag and ID if possible): MutedMike#7715 Why was action taken against you?: I got muted for posting a meme with the "c" slur in it, and it got flagged by a discord mod and I got muted for 12 hours. This is the meme: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/817179873642676295/979829063348793404/20220527_002323.jpg Why should the action be reversed or reduced? Considering the fact that the r slur is far more recognized as a slur by the better part of the GMOD division than the c slur, and that the former is allowed to be said freely without repercussions while the latter is subject to a mute, I find it comes off as inconsistent and biased when one slur is allowed but another, less hurtful, and easily argued as not a slur (won't get into that here since it'll turn into a politics thing and arguments rooted under the pretense of politics never get anywhere), I think it should either be overturned or the policy on the r slur reconsidered.

DaPainWayne 469 / 9,387 Report Post Posted May 28, 2022 Hi Mike. Apologies for late response (had to wait to hear back from some people), Knowing that my standpoint is slightly conflicted with your appeal (since I did the mute), I spoke with several other GMOD moderators, who all voted in favor of denying your appeal. Please understand as well, I don't think it makes much sense to start comparing different slurs to each other. What you said is considered to be a racial slur based on the context involved, which have historically not been allowed on our platforms. Your mute will remain as the previously established 12 hour duration. (Signature credit to @Clavers) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
