[QUOTE="WickedDuck, post: 65246, member: 5899"] Yes, but the hate speech rules on saying potentially offensive stuff is VERY broad. It literally comes down to staff discretion if its not really covered under the slurs section. And while staff members and ex-staff members like me have done their best, our discretion can still be wrong. For instance, the ban appeal linked [URL='https://forums.atomicnetworks.co/threads/clean-up-crew-ban-appeal.10752/']here[/URL] was a ban appeal that I responded to. My discretion was inaccurate and didn't see the situation right. I banned someone because in my opinion then, I figured that Clean Up Crew was saying the things he said in a derogatory manner, when he wasn't. There are more ban/warn appeals that show this, but this is one that I knew the most about since I am the one who banned them. I feel that maybe we should change the rules so that it clearly outlines what we do/should do in situations like that. I probably should've asked a higher up instead of just going with what I thought at the time, as that was incorrect. See what we mean? The rules are too broad and are open to misinterpretation by both staff and players. [/QUOTE]
