    ALL Your Character Names: JakeT, MyN1gga
    Last thing you did: I was just playing the game.
    Why do you think you got banned?: My name MyN1gga, which apparently is an inappropriate name. However, I am black and this word is a part of my culture.
    Ban message when attempting to log in: This account was banned
    What GM banned you (optional): Heidi

    I want to keep this name if possible. It is not fair to remove my account over a word that is an important part of my identity. If this doesn't work, just change it to DetroitYN

    Thanks for that - I will mark this as needing admin action.

    In the mean time, you are welcome to create another account to play on.

    Name change can only be processed during a server check or patch

    Please be patient for it

    Will be locking this thread for now

    I've given you a shoutbox ban for spreading false info about your Ban Appeal. Just to be clear - you were banned for using the N-word in your IGN, not because you're Black.

    Please don’t spread misleading stuff like that again - if it happens again, Warning Points will be given. Your shoutbox ban will be lifted once your Ban Appeal has been resolved.

    As it's taking awhile for a server check to take place, I have unbanned your IP address and your account. Your character 'myn1gga' will remain in jail until your name change has been processed.

    I just checked for you now, and found you afk in jail, and so I warped you out. Thanks for leaving your character online, that helped us to help you :)
