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?
SORRY IF I HAVE POSTED THIS IN THE WRONG AREA PLEASE FORGIVE ME |

racists on your servers are given a seconds chance, and people with the name of Hold the door HODOR are not? i'm fully aware you are going to reply with 'why are you still comparing these two things' and my reason for comparing them is that racism in the UK is considered a hate crime, it is an actual crime, and it is ridiculous that they are given second chances for that very reason. i once saw a warning given out for someone writing 'lynch the n-word' in chat (nothing borderline about that). I find it absolutely mental that this person is given a warning whereas i am permabanned? let me refer back once again to how i opened the thread, i am not questioning my ban, it is fair enough if that's how you are going to discipline those who break rules, i am stating that it is wrong for you to give warnings and accept appeals for racism. If you accept racism appeals, then hell, anything anyone has ever done on your servers must be worthy of a second chance. To finalize, if i don't get a second chance for revealing a spoiler, then a racist shouldn't either. once again, i will reiterate the fact that i am not arguing against my ban, a point you seem to keep forgetting. It really does seem that some of the SM admins truly believe that someone that reveals a spoiler (such as myself) is as bad as a racist, something that is uncomprehendable from my point of view
