Character name: Marc Forrester
Type of Ban: Game ban
Date of Ban and Duration: 05/18/2022 1 hour
Reason for Ban: "cringe"
Server you were playing on when banned: Wizard's Den Lizard [US WEST]
Your side of the story: What happened is that somebody asked if an admin was female, to which they replied yes. I jokingly said "Woman????? Awooooga." This occurred in OOC chat before round start. I was banned shortly afterwards with no warning.
Why you think you should be unbanned: Firstly, I think it was pretty obvious that what I said was a joke. I was being satirical, jokingly pretending to be a stereotypical internet male. I meant no ill-will to the administrator, and I was pretty shocked when I got banned. Didn't even get a warning or a talking to, which would be the first rational step in punishment escalation. And, as far as I know, "cringe," isn't against the rules nor is it a valid ban reason. Additionally, up until this incident I have had no prior warnings or administration action taken on my account, so I believe I should at the very least be let off with a warning or note on my account.
Anything else we should know: I know that this ban is short, and I probably shouldn't even bother with appealing, but I don't want this sort of thing on my record. In my opinion it was completely unjustified and I don't want my record to be tainted with this.
