Accepted BlackJosh's Spray Ban appeal

[BlackJosh]

Username: BlackJosh

What is your type of punishment?
Spray Ban

Where were you banned from? Servers

What is your SteamID? https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198109102651/

Who has punished you?
Unknown

Why were you punished?
Inappropriateness Spray

Why should we revoke your punishment?
No warning was issued to me regarding my spray, which, if an random admin is going to punish a player for a rule that they had no idea that they were breaking, is unjustifiable. If the claim of the nameless admin is that they warned me through text chat, then that is an unreasonable excuse, as I would have been focused on the game rather than someone else. Additionally, they never made other means of contact to get my attention outside of TF2. No attempt at a proper warning was made. Regarding players joining for the first or subsequent times, expecting every player upon joining your servers to open the rules tab and read the, albeit, reasonable list of rules is unrealistic.
However, with that being said, I believe I have been thoroughly punished and humbly request an unbanning for sprays and objectors, as well as a reeducation of proper punishment for newer mods.

Since this is your first sprayban, please prove to any staff member in-game that you've changed your spray and the ban will be lifted.

Hi there.

First off:

well as a reeducation of proper punishment for newer mods.

No. The standard punishment for an inappropriate spray, especially a straight porn spray like yours, is an immediate and permanent sprayban. This sprayban can be appealed once. There is no warning, and even if there was it wouldn't take place outside of TF2 as you ask for here.

Additionally, they never made other means of contact to get my attention outside of TF2

Don't be stupid. Communities don't do this. Warnings and punishments for things that happen on the server take place on the server.

Secondly:

Regarding players joining for the first or subsequent times, expecting every player upon joining your servers to open the rules tab and read the, albeit, reasonable list of rules is unrealistic.

The rules are directly opened up on the MOTD when you join the server. If you've disabled this, that's your fault. However, to prevent this, we have a handy command box that appears on your screen with all the rules every time you join the server. Once again, if you choose to ignore this, it's on you.

Your ignorance of the rules is your fault. Don't try blaming your mistake on the system, or the staff team.

That being said, prove to any staff member in-game that you've changed your spray to something appropriate, and the sprayban will be lifted.

Instead of waiting for an admin to join, i'll just show in the reply that it's different.

I will be the third person to tell you that you will need to prove to any staff member in-game that your spray was changed.

You are more than welcome to join our Discord and ask for a staff member to come check if none are in your game.
