spoilers worse than racism? Options

[HODOR]

So, let me make myself clear first up so there is no confusion, i am not questioning your judgment on my ban for spoilers regarding game of thrones, you guys have rules i broke them, therefore i am banned for the foreseeable future. however i am questioning as to why i have seen warnings given out on the server for racism, and have seen bans lifted after an appeal on the forums for racist language. I am just curious as to the logic behind the two punishments? is that what admins are instructed to do? does this vary between admins? because in my head it just doesn't add up and i cant see how a spoiler is an instant permaban but racist language is a warning, then ban but has a chance to appeal. now don't get me wrong there is a high probability that i am misinformed and what i have stated is incorrect but from a brief look at the ban appeals it seems that you are more likely to be unbanned if you were banned for racism than if you are banned for spoilers, so if spoilers is a permaban with no chance to appeal then shouldn't racism be the same?

This is wrong, racist language = instant ban, the duration's up to an admin but if it's severe, and it usually is, it's permanent. Yes there are cases when a warning is given first but this is also dependant on the case and individual admin's discretion.

As for why we recently started to treat spoiling so sternly - read here: http://www.sneakymonkeys.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2602 but now I see you already did that and still created this thread in the morning.

It seems to me we're hesitant to lift the ban because you don't seem to take it seriously - that's an impression I get and I personally don't even care that much since it's not my ban. So perhaps a change of attitude would help here. But hey that's me.
