    Punished account name: 1tswift
    Platform or server punished on: /skyblock
    Ban message if applicable: n/a - mute for 5 days
    Have you read the rules? yes
    Do you think this punishment was incorrect? it might have been correct, as i do have quite a loud personality. i believe the punishment was fair as i do have a loud personality and something i said may have gotten me done in, however i am not sure what i said as i do not remember a lot.
    Why should you be unbanned? i am not sure, because i am unsure what exactly i got muted for. the mute happened about three hours ago & i just got on and saw i was muted. i will either appeal the mute, or take it, depending on what is said against me, because there is a good chance i deserved to be muted and i'm not sure what got me muted. i don't go out of my way to be toxic, but i will admit i have a loud personality, so i do believe there is a reason i was muted. i feel like i can answer this more accurately if i know what the mute is for! thank you!
    Please list any other times you were punished on Skyblock: in the past over 6 years ago i was a repeat offender for multiple rules, so do feel free to search for yourself as i don't remember off the top of my head! i do however remember in recent times! i have been muted a couple of times in recent times, i remember once for egging on a fight after being told a few times to stop, which i believed was definitely a fair choice, and once by console for unintentionally saying a word that auto muted me, which i also believe was fair (the wording someone told me was *word* with *another letter* and my silly self said it before they could say don't do it).
    If you know, tag the staff member that banned you: unsure as it's a mute
    Do you understand and accept our rules and code of conduct? yes, of course! been a while since i've been here.

    Hey Teeler, thanks for the appeal. I'll explain more about your punishment here. :)

    The comment you made that you were punished for is the following; "im so sorry i crashed into the twin towers and said 27 racist slurs, but my pet fly walked across my keyboard and downloaded hacks" which you made in public chat on Skyblock Survival.

    While this comment is clearly a joke, the content within it is highly insensitive. Making any joking remark about the tragedy of 9/11 is unacceptable in my opinion. 52 days ago I muted you for a very similar comment regarding 9/11, and you continued by making a new remark again last night.

    While I understand some people are more vocal in chat than others, that is still no excuse for making jokes about slur use and 9/11. As you should be aware, racist slurs are taken very seriously on our servers and making light of them is not tolerated either. Back in January you were verbally warned for a joke you made about slurs as well, so in knowing that, you should be well aware of our rules already.

    The reason for your 5 day mute for this offence was because of your history and (fairly recent) case of the same behaviour. Hopefully in reflection you realize how unacceptable these comments were. Hopefully this helps to clarify things for you. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.

    Thanks,
    Bree

    Okay thank you! I do not remember the mute from you about a previous comment, so thanks for bringing up that it's been an ongoing issue and not just something recent. Of course I am not excusing it, but I genuinely do not recall a mute from you for it? But regardless, you have warned me before, so that is a fair call! Knowing what exactly caused this helps make what I say here easier so thank you! You made a lot of sense to me in why the decision to mute me was made!
    I have a lot of friends who appreciate dark humor, but of course, I take accountability for letting myself get carried away in joking in the main chat. I definitely should have been a lot more mindful and recalled that such rude humor is not for everyone. I was joking around with people because someone was pulling the "it was my sister" excuse and we were joking about it- sorry that's not really the point, the point is that i brought it up + it was entirely unprovoked. It was wrong and for a bit I forgot others were also in the chat.
    I would never actually use racial comments as such, but i do understand the joke about them falls well out of line with the server's rules! I'd never use such words and I definitely know better than to make such a comment! I am aware of the rules in general, however even joking about it even when not saying it, that did slip my mind in common sense, which really sucks, but I understand that despite you knowing I meant no ill, that I still should not have gone as far as I chose to. Onto the 9/11 tragedy, you're right and I don't think that's something I can excuse. If I was to make such a joke it should have not been in the main chat, perhaps not even in the server. Again, definitely not something I should be making comments on to be "funny" or "edgy".

    I know my history on the server is very... intense and historical to say the least, and even if it was many years ago, with a couple of mutes in recent times, but I do want to be unmuted because I do believe this is a great wake up call to watch what I say, to put it simply. I don't know how else I can answer something along the lines of "I won't do it again", other than the fact I've been limited not just in chat, but I can't even make player shops, but hey, consequences of my own actions, that's fine! I would like to at least try to appeal and apologize, because I do want to be unmuted. I have made insensitive comments, regardless of how obvious it was as a joke, hell, even FOR a joke I was doing way too much and I'm sorry about it. I will definitely be watching what I say in future and I will definitely put the dark humor away when playing the server. I know in the past I have often said I would change, but anyone who knew me many years ago knows that I have changed a lot and grown. I'm not perfect, no, but all I've tried to do is be better than who I previously was and I do think I have done really well with that, aside from the odd conflict with someone and the recent mutes and warnings for taking jokes too far and even being insensitive.

    You're right in how what I've said is extremely unacceptable. I definitely shouldn't really be unmuted and made to wait it out, but I do want the chance to be unmuted! I will definitely keep such comments away from the chat, regardless of how well I think I know the crowd. Of course, the mute was 100% justified for what I said and again, I see it as a wake up call that I was stepping out of line. All I've wanted to do is be better than who I was in the past, but the dark/edgy humor was taken too far and it has shown me I should keep it off the server. I know how to have a good time without making problematic jokes and it wasn't fair to anyone who may have been upset by said comments. I am grateful it was brought to my attention! Hearing "I won't do it again" definitely doesn't seem promising when I've had so many threads in this section before, but last one I made was years ago. I feel I have shown to be a better person, yes, one with a loud personality, but I will sit back and accept when I am in the wrong. I was obviously slipping too far and now have consequences to said actions. I would be really grateful if I was able to be unmuted or anything along those lines, partly for selfish reasons in wanting to make player shops and talk to my friends in dms, but I also want to be unmuted because I understand the severity and can definitely tone it down a lot. I know I may not have to change much, but I definitely know to keep something THAT out of pocket away. I will do better in future regardless, but I do hope I am considered for an unmute! I know I can do better, but at the end of the day I will still be understanding and keep note to dial it down.

    Hi Teeler.

    Thank you for taking accountability for your actions.

    Since this was a repeat offense within a short period, the mute will stand. As you mentioned, this should be a big wake-up call regarding your actions and certain comments made in our chat.

    Please take the remaining time on your mute as a time to reflect.
