Looks like your suspicions are correct. You have been temporarily banned for whispering a sexually charged comment to a player. Spoiler: MapleRoyals TOS Minor Infractions: Objectionable Behavior Punishment: First offense - 3-day ban, Second offense - 7-day ban, Third offense - 30-day ban, Subsequent offenses - 90-day ban Objectionable Behavior - The act of insulting, threatening, or harassing other players or Staff, or engaging in speech that is vulgar, defamatory, obscene, hateful, discriminatory, or derogatory on the basis of personal identity - including, but not limited to, race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, and national origin - irrespective of the language used. Additionally, the act of "spamming" or "flooding" with chat or skills, or any other action that is excessively disruptive to the individuals around you, as well as transmitting any sort of content that is inappropriate, sexually explicit, or privately owned. There are multiple scenarios in which harassment can be defined. Persistence and level of aggression are two major factors - constant harassment over a long period of time will likely qualify a player as having broken this rule, or alternatively a strongly objectionable statement or group of statements over a short period of time. Persistent mass defamation will be considered no less than two defames by an individual and may also include asking, paying, or otherwise incentivizing other players to defame another individual. Be aware that the use of certain words, and any variation on them, will result in a ban if they were uttered in a public space (defined as all chat, megaphones, omok games, hired merchants, stores, chalkboards, etc.), regardless of whether or not they were used in a targeted manner. In private spaces (defined as party chat, buddy chat, guild chat, alliance chat, spouse chat, whisper) these terms will be considered a bannable offense only if used in a targetted manner and the target files a report. It might not be your intention to hurt anyone's feelings by making such jokes, but nonetheless, the staff found your unprovoked comment inappropriate enough to issue a temporary ban.
