Have you changed your Minecraft username since being banned/muted? If so, what is your previous name:

No​

Which of ECC's services are you banned/muted on:

Banned on: Main Network​

Reason of Ban/Mute:

Racial Slurs​

Rule Violated:

Clause 2 - Vulgarity​

Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means:

Clause 2 for vulgarity in chat rules explains that mild swearing is allowed, as long as it is in the right chat channel or is not directed towards anyone​

Reason you feel you think you should be un-banned/un-muted:

I said the word "n***a" when I joined, I did not direct it at anyone nor did I mean it in a racist way. I understand this is just how some people speak, especially where I live and with people my age. I understand I may have offended some, but I truly did not mean it. I did not say it with a hard "ER", which is more racist than just saying "n***a" (in my opinion). I don't feel as if using that word is offensive, because as I said it is just how some people speak, and it is not like I directed it towards anyone or was trying to say something along the lines of "you are a n***a", I simply said the word "n***a" and was immediately permabanned. I feel as if this is very harsh for saying a single word, that in today's culture (especially with hip hop), does not have a very racist meaning, especially when said by people of color or when not directed towards anyone. I understand some people on the server may find this language offensive, but I do not consider it racist and only mildly vulgar when said once, however, I want to continue playing on the server and will cease all usage of that word.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this. I sincerely apologize, I believe this may all have been a misunderstanding in what we think is racist and not.​
