- UNBAN DEDEFEDIA (Unban Request Denied by Josh)

[Josh]

Hi Edgaras,

I will briefly summarise a few points about your ban and unban request.

You said the following comments direct to another user:

Chatlog (dedefedia) Wrote:"Maybe you know why players from Ukraine can't play LFS like you? "
"Do you know what the word dalbajob means? " (said twice)
"That word means you "

"Are you upset? :DDD"
"Your whole country should be banned "

"I'm even wondering how you will explain the word dalbajob to TC admins "

It is clear that the word "dalbajob" is an insult along the lines of stupid/dumb F*** (Central Asian/Russian). You seem to have missed this part out of your original post though.

I !PM'd you online and asked you if there was a problem with the specific user you were talking to. Your response was:

Chatlog (dedefedia) Wrote:"hello I just don't support what his country is doing in Ukraine. and he pretends not to know anything "

I explained that "He is not the president and I doubt they are his decisions". You can't blame one person for everything their country is doing politically.

I checked the replay before I spoke to you as I assumed your messages were the result of a crash or incident with this user. You weren't even on the track and had no interaction with this user before you started talking to him.

It seems completely unprovoked. I appreciate everyone is entitled to their own opinions but that does not give you the right to be abusive to users who are simply playing and minding their own business.

The reason your ban is one month is simple. The behaviour you have shown tonight is completely uncalled for and rude. As I said in-game it almost borders racism - you have targeted a user specifically due to their nationality for reasons that they likely have 0% control over.

Although you have no previous bans (and a very good URS history) you have nearly 800 hours playing on our servers and broke the most basic rule that every server has in place - be respectful.


Josh.
