What will you do to stop this from happening again: I want to sincerely explain what happened and take full accountability. The word I said, which I now understand is a slur, was something I genuinely did not know was offensive at the time. When the individual told me it was a slur, I immediately apologized and also looked it up myself to confirm the meaning. Once I understood how hurtful it could be, I felt embarrassed and deeply regretful for even saying it, even if unintentionally.
-
The full sentence I said was along the lines of “hey [slur]” and “shut up [slur],” which I had said while joking around with the individual — someone I usually talk to in a lighthearted way. Despite that, I now realize that saying such things, even in a joking tone, can still be extremely harmful and completely unacceptable. I was grateful that he forgave me after I apologized, and since then we’ve gone back to joking around.
-
The reason I believe I should be unbanned is because I’ve truly learned from the situation. Something similar happened two months ago, and I have made sure to never repeat anything like it since. I’m currently working hard to appeal other blacklists as well, and it would be incredibly reckless and irresponsible of me to ruin that progress by using a word I now know is offensive. I’m not the type of person to knowingly insult someone, and I want to be clear that I originally thought it was just a shortened form of “Pakistani,” not a slur.
-
You are free to ask the individual they will confirm that I immediately apologized once they explained it to me and searched it up. Since then, I’ve been more careful with my language, even when joking, and I’ve been working on improving myself both as a player and as a member of the community. I understand that ignorance is not an excuse, but I hope the sincerity of my apology and the steps I’ve taken since show that I truly regret what happened and that it will not happen again.Next time I'll actually take something serious when the person told me it was a bad word the first time.

Why should you be unbanned: If I had known at the time that the word I used was a slur, I would never have said it and I certainly would not be appealing this ban. I truly regret saying it, and I take full responsibility now that I understand its meaning. What I said three months ago was wrong, even if unintentional, and I am still in the process of earning back the trust of others in the community. This has been a learning experience for me, and I know I must work even harder to show that I’ve changed. When I said it, I genuinely believed it was just a casual or shortened form of a more neutral word.
As someone from Europe, I have come to realize that some words may seem harmless or even normal where I live but carry much deeper and more offensive meanings elsewhere. The individual I said it to may have clipped the moment, and he can confirm that I immediately apologized in TeamSpeak. I told him directly that I did not know the word was a slur, and I repeated my apology to make sure he knew I meant it sincerely.He was doing something ingame at the time, but still took the moment to listen and forgive me.After that, we moved on and continued interacting as normal, joking around like we usually do. That made me believe things were resolved between us, and I truly appreciated his forgiveness. Still, I now understand that even if someone accepts an apology, the damage done may carry further consequences especially in a larger community setting. Since then, I’ve been more cautious with my words and how they might be received.I have made it a priority to learn from this and avoid any language that could hurt or offend others, regardless of intent. This experience has taught me the importance of awareness, empathy, and responsibility. I want to continue proving that I can contribute positively to the community, and I will not make the same mistake again.
