Why were you banned/blacklisted?: Harassing another member of the community.
Why should this appeal be considered?: Could this be taken as a dispute/apology firstly.
But to begin I genuinely believe that what I said and did wasn't harassing anyone in the slightest. I brought the story up in OOC once when sorle said something, as a joke not knowing he would take offence to it (I didn't think he would as he stated this story in the forums for everyone to read so therefore I thought he was open about it - The story can still be found on the forums to this date is what I've been told.)
The definition of Harassment is the following: "harassment is when someone REPEATEDLY behaves in a way that makes you feel scared, distressed or threatened". I have only brought up this story twice, once on the forums replying to him when he posted about it and on the day on which I stated it in-game.
Please also keep in mind I know me saying it as a "Joke" isn't a loophole or a way out of it. You can be racist or homophobic etc as a joke and it's still a serious offence.
Sorle then added me on steam stating how he felt about this situation to which I then said something along the lines of "I'm sorry I didn't actually realise this is how you felt about it" (Do not take this word for word as Sorle then removed me off steam after I got banned so I can't get the chat logs and send screenshots.). I'm not a cunt, I wouldn't mess with someone's mental health as that's something people close to me are struggling with. I genuinely only said it as a joke as he said it publicly on the forums so I thought he was open for people to talk about it and so on. I genuinely am sorry but to be told that I've harassed someone is far from the truth and I don't want to be known as someone who harasses people. I know I may be seen as a minge sometimes and a joke but honestly from the bottom of my heart, I am genuinely telling the truth and didn't mean to hurt him or 'harass' him.
I understand that the server has a no bullying, harassment, discrimination & racism policy but to be banned for 7 months for something I genuinely thought was okay to say and speak publicly about it is something I'm struggling to swallow.
I'm not a prick or a bully in any way and anyone close to me can see this isn't me. I just hope you can take this into consideration.
