    jahnj13 started the conversation Ban Appeal.

    Since this is the only place I am even going to get 10 seconds to plead my case... I just got banned because an admin yesterday doesn't have a grasp of the English or Russian language for that matter. I simply asked another player (username i forget) if his base had a "gulag". The reason I used that word is because the aforementioned player was making references to the "Red Army". Believe it or not, there used to be this place called Russia, and they had a nickname for their army... And sometimes those same Red Army men put people in jails called "gulags". But just to take this a step further please read this copied and pasted definition from the Oxford English dictionary of the word "gulag" below...

    Gu·lag
    ˈɡo͞oläɡ/
    noun
    a system of labor camps maintained in the former Soviet Union from 1930 to 1955 in which many people died.
    a camp in the Gulag system, or any political labor camp.
    noun: gulag; plural noun: gulags

    Now I ask any of the people in charge of this server to go back through the chat log of what I said, and explain to me why I got kicked for using that word? I wasn't insulting anyone, and i certainly wasn't breaking any of the posted server rules. Even that player (username i forgot) I was talking to said that the word just means "jail". I can't help it if some of the administrators on this server don't understand English. All I was trying to do is make some friends on a server that I am relatively new to playing on by making people laugh, and I was unnecessarily penalized for it.

    So that brings me to today, where I was banned for questioning that original bullshit kick to begin with. So sure ban me for arguing with the admins, but you're banning me for the wrong reason. I wouldn't have argued if the admins hadn't gone overboard to begin with. I get that admins have a tough job, but admins also should be fair. Being overzealous with the ban hammer isn't fair. This is a miscarriage of administrator justice. I urge the server admins to really think about why they're banning someone.

    I just spent two weeks laying the foundation of a pretty nice base. I'm new to the server and all I wanted to do was let people know I'm a fun person to play MC with. I don't insult people, I play MC clean, I NEVER cheat unlike some other users I could mention, and yes I like to push the envelope of good taste to some extent, but not beyond reason, and definitely not to the point of needing to be kicked or banned.

    I'll leave it to the powers that be to un-ban me if they wish, but I refuse to ask forgiveness for referees, and umpires gone mad.

    Regards,
