Character Name: Arckade Last thing you did: Leveled up to 192 Why do you think you got banned?: Language barrier Ban message when u attempting to log in: "You may not access your account because your account is permanently ban" What GM banned you: Charlie https://royals.ms/forum/threads/racism.98411/ The thread above shows the full conversation in the images. Details: It all started with a smega of someone who was selling ap resets at 8m each, to what in response someone smegaed: "who did you hack?". As if all who sell cheaper things for needing money quickly or for some other reason are hackers, discrediting without foundation or sustenance to others. By virtue of the foregoing, I responded to the one who sought to discredit that person by saying that it was simply the law of supply and demand. Immediately, he grossly and rudely answered me to shut up if I didn't know what was going on the server. (as if someone did not know what happens). To his rude way of answering I told him politely to calm down, that I did not seek to discuss; after that he said that what I was saying was stupid, he practically called me stupid for no reason. At this point I knew that the guy was angry, that he has no political, economic or legal knowledge to take the situation objectively, as is the theory of supply and demand, so I tried to explain. I told him not to be angry or to complain to me about the situation of the server, that if he had to ask for answers about it he could ask to the GM's, and not me because that is not my job. He kept saying that what I was saying was stupid, calling me stupid surreptitiously. To end his stubbornness all I did was answer him with a fallacy ad hominem, because it is the easiest way to end an argument with someone stubborn, rude and ignorant. Ending It is obvious that the GM who decided in this situation does not speak spanish, so he did not realize the rude attitude that "VoldemorthxD" presented. For this I ask that a Spanish-speaking GM solve this issue, and please do not be Peruvian because it will obviously act in a subjective way in the situation. What I mainly seek is to remove the "first offence" notice, because it does not affect me at all not to play for 3 days. Thank you for your time.
I do not speak spanish, you are correct. However I did speak to 4 other people that spoke spanish who were all from different regions that speak the language namely Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, & the Dominican Republic. I had them help me decipher what was said & helped me come to a verdict that what you said was not okay. The bottom line is that what you said while on this server is against the rules & being stupid &/or being slightly rude is not. Also the first offense thing is more for us GMs than yourself.
First of all, thank you for your replying. I see that one who you asked for help is peruvian, which I asked to not happen. Anyway. I don't know if you talk to your friends the way he spoke to me to say he (VoldemorthxD) was "slightly rude". Personally I felt offended in the way he spoke and referred to me, when I was at all times polite. I would like to remind you that in the MapleRoyals Game Terms & Conditions is considered Objectionable Behavior (Harassment) "The act of engaging in ANY sort of rude, harassing, vulgar, obscene, hateful, threatening or abusive discourse with another player, or alternatively in a setting in which unintended audiences may be present such as all publically transmitted chat or serverwide messages. This includes persistent badgering, flaming, mass defamation or disruption of another player." I find it totally unfair that the consequences of what happened only fall on me, when it is obvious that he also fell into a lack of regulation, and in the end try to overlap his behavior by saying it was "moderate". Finally I do not seek to harm this vulgar and ill-educated person, I just want to remove my "first offense" notice, and make it clear to the community that if I spoke that way it was only by using the right of self-defense. Thank you. Have a nice day.
It does not matter if you think it's rude or not. The fact is that *WE* have come to the conclusion from discussing it and researching it that what you said falls under hate speech. You said a racially charged statement that offended another player, who reported you for it. It does not matter the reasoning behind you saying that message - two wrongs do not make a right. Breaking the rules yourself under "self defense" does not excuse you from the consequences. This is your first offense, it will not be removed, and you will be unbanned automatically in 3 days. If you're so caught up under it being a first offense, that seems to imply that you're concerned you might have a second offense or even third in the future. I suggest you read up on what hate speech is, and learn to not be racist towards someone. That said, if you feel like you have a report to make against someone whether they are harassing you or something, your ban appeal is not the place to do so. You are free to make a thread if you want, under the correct section.
Good evening. Thank you for your suggestion, although I am a student of law and I know in detail what is racism and its differences between xenophobia and discrimination, but also be misinterpreted by feeling ashamed of the culture. So I suggest *YOU* check the differences. It is correct that two negatives do not give positive (although it is in mathematics), but the real purpose of my appeal was for the community to know the reason I said that (and especially to my dear Peruvian friends), and try to disprove my ban. As I said earlier, I do not try to harm this vulgar person; also that would be a waste of time because it is the public domain that he is a friend of several GM's. Thank you for your attention, feel free to close this thread.
It doesn't matter to us if you are a law student or the POTUS. You're playing in this server, so you're expected to follow the rules we set accordingly. You were banned for breaking the rules, you appealed, we discussed, we rejected your appeal. It's also an insult to us that you think we would be in favor of anyone who's a friend of a staff. Bear in mind that we have banned people whom are our buddies/guildies before. *NO* exceptions. Thread closed since we have long ago reached an impasse.
