Situation:

I recently got a new computer and am able to play Chivalry again after several years. In one of the first games, I greeted a friend with a "racial slur" (the N word), and got immediately kicked off the SM server. This was in no way meant to be insulting to anyone.

Please reconsider this ban, as SM is now the only server around which consistenly has enough players. I will abide by the rules more carefully next time.

Hi, You were banned by our automatic bot for 7 days for "racist language" to be released on 4th February. I will consider lifting this ban earlier as you fessed up, and I am sure you will stick to this rule from now. I will reply to this thread again when I have lifted the ban.

Ban is lifted now, should be able to join again.

Unfortunately, the ban still seems to be in effect - attempts to join the SM server end with the message: "Your IP address has been banned from the current game session."

The bot is very vengeful

@Monkwon, you have to use bot commands to unban if the ban is through it. Otherwise it will just re-add the ban when the person joins. The way I found it to work is:
!lastbans (or something similar)
!unban @123 (the number next to the player name)

I am very sorry about this problem. My more knowledgable friend is totally right, I had released the ban using the normal command and then went about my day, I did not realise the bot re-adding the ban could happen! Is very lucky I checked this forum before sleeping I believe this is now sorted. I checked !lastbans now and you are not on there any more. I check this forum post again tomorrow and hope to see you in-game very soon.

Thank you Monkwon and Sir Robin. All good now
