Nickel_Ass's TTT Appeal

[Nickel_Ass]

Server: TTT

SteamID: N/A

Reason for ban: Spray is allegedly not 'SFW'

Issuing staff member: Menace

Ban length: Until Spray privilege is reinstated

 

Appeal:

My spray privilege was removed for allegedly being 'NSFW' and 'baiting'. Please see the link for my spray image: https://imgur.com/Wdn8hx4

Whoever removed my spray privilege needs to read a dictionary and realise that the text on my spray is "Safe for Work' and is rated 'PG'. There are no slurs, drugs, or sex-related material on my spray.

Please see the below two videos that EXPLAIN what 'niggardly' means.

Whoever banned me seems to have a morbid fixation on linking words that start with 'n' to a particular slur that starts with n, which I will not say (as I would most likely be banned here).

I don't know if this is the correct place to appeal, and I was told by a mod (lux) that menace issued this ban

My spray does not violate TTT rules. See rules and definitions below in quotation marks (as posted on website)

"2. All usernames and sprays must be SFW* and appropriate for all. Usernames must also be easily identifiable by all on the server."

" Definitions: SFW: Safe for work, keep all content PG and appropriate for all people and ages."

Whilst I understand that the words in this spray are not racist, please remember a majority of people aren't aware of this word. Also it can come across being an attempt to appear 'edgy' by using such words closely related to a racist slur. Is there any chance that you could use a different spray in order to avoid such issues?

[Nickel_Ass]

It is not my responsibility if someone doesn't understand what a word means. As you just stated, you understand that the spray isn't racist, therefore it is 'SFW'.

You literally have a racist caricature of a Jew in the spray you know exactly what the fuck you're doing lmfao. 

[Aeyon]

The gymnastics this kid is going through to justify his racist edgy jokes is almost Olympic, grow up kid you arent fooling anyone here with this unfunny shit. 

[Nickel_Ass]

nyo, I never said it was a caricature of a Jew. You're making these supposed links, not me.

[Nickel_Ass]

It is not racist. See the definitions of the words in the spray. You should grow up for thinking it is racist. Also, I don't think this ordeal is 'unfunny'. User 'nyo' thinks it funny, evidenced by his use of 'lmfao'.

Anyone who's been on the internet for more than 10 seconds has seen it, don't act all coy and innocent buddy.

[Nickel_Ass]

nyo, you're speculating. This is an appeal, not an investigation into my innocence. Don't go off topic.

people always find some way to be racist say "oh its normal, its a word" u clearly intended it to be racist

@ Nickel_Ass Sorry for the late response. We are looking into this now.

Just a fair warning your case is not strong here.

You were spray banned and told to change your spray by a staff member, fact remains that you did not listen to a staff member when told to change it. Your argument holds very little merit, and holds no place in a Gmod community. To be honest with you, we are struggling to find a good reason for this spray to ever exist in the first place. What's even with the racist caricature of a Jew? The Jewish community in Niger is not even that big.

Anyways, we are deciding on a conclusion on this now. Please hang tight.

[Nickel_Ass]

Jaska V, the man rubbing his hands together is to show the niggardly nature of Nigerian nobles. It's a reference to an infamous scam in which Nigerian princes would email random people, asking for a small sum of money in return for a larger sum of money. I wanted to alliterate the sentence in my spray, hence making all the words start with n.

 

I never stated that it was a caricature of a Jew.

@ Nickel_Ass after some thought, some waiting and watching this appeal, we believe that you at this current point of time cant be trusted with Spray perms. In the future, if a moderator asks for something to be stopped, please do so and take your concerns privately into the DM's of either an Administrator or preferably community manager@ birbobert .

We hope you continue to play on our servers and have fun regardless, however be mindful of when a staff member makes a request in the future.
