@fionn#11679 Why is my attitude grounds for an indefinite suspension? I don't quite understand how one's attitude can be breaking the rules. Even if I disagree with that though, it's still a reason I guess.
I do still feel it is fair that I get the suspension reduced. My attitude has changed since then, and I don't plan to reinstate (even after May 1st should this go through) until I can ensure I have time to play, so that this doesn't happen again.
Good afternoon ladies and gents, I'm here not to reverse my suspension entirely but rather attempt to shorten the length in which it is. I will explain what I mean shortly.
By no means am I saying I am innocent or broke no rules and by no means am I trying to excuse what I did. I am however attempting to adjust the punishment so it is in line with precedent, and is fairer than it was.
My suspension thread is here. I will be referring to it within this post.
1. What did I do
In Discord, I said multiple things. However, only 1 thing I said broke any rules. I said multiple times "I'm going to say the N word", however I never actually did. This therefore shouldn't be used against me as I broke no rules. However, I did use the "f slur" which I completely concede was wrong of me, and while I attempted to use it as a quote, as I'm sure some of you are aware, I don't believe context matters, rather the action itself. In total, by doing this, I broke:
Conduct Policy Section 3j.
In short, I broke one section 3 offence. However, I do believe it was quite severe as I was an admin and therefore I do believe I should have been suspended, and I am sorry for what I did. However, another thing that contributed towards the indefinite side of the suspension was continually server-banning a user who was being a nuisance to me personally. I believe I should've handled this better, however I did report this user to several discord staff in the past and they refused to take any action other than giving him a slap on the wrist. I was however in the wrong. Upon being told not to do so, I simply ignored the staff member in question. This breaks:
Admin Conduct Policy 2a. A formal warning. Not an indefinite suspension.
2. What are you proposing to change
I was banned from the Discord as well as this. I believe an indefinite suspension is quite frankly unfair; another admin previously got suspended for using the same word as me. She was initially suspended for 2 weeks, and then it got made indefinite when she did it again. In short, she had a second chance. I never got said second chance.
Therefore, I propose that, due to previous indefinite suspensions on me, my suspension gets reduced to 3 months from the 1st of Feb. That means the earliest I can reapply (without going through the usual indef return process) will be the 1st of May 2021. I believe this is fair and in line with precedent. As I said, I concede I did wrong and I am not going to pretend I didn't, but I believe an indefinite suspension was overkill for what I did. I am also more than happy to restart as an admin and have to reapply to become SrA again.
I'm more than happy to debate extending the wait time longer should anyone wish.

Your discord tag. (Ex: elmon#6023)
phrman#9542
If known, who banned you? (this can be checked)
1st of February 2021
If known, do you know what time you were approximately banned?
Like 4am on the 20th of Jan i think
Why do you think you were banned? (this can also be checked)
homophobia
Explain why you think you should be unbanned, and promise to never do whatever you did again. If your reason remains unknown, you may skip this question.
i won't do it again. simple as. i only said the slur as a quote, but it's apparent to me that i shouldn't have done that.
I couldn't find any template for discord appeals so like
Your Minecraft name
_PHR
The date and time you were banned.
Sometime in January
What type of activity you were doing at the time of the ban (e.g. chatting, building, using world edit, etc.) or state "offline" if banned while offline. For the purpose of the appeal, only use the term banned offline if you haven't been on the server in the past 24 hours AND do not have a ban reason specified. So for example, if you leave the server for 10 minutes and find you're banned when you try to return, that's NOT an offline ban for the purpose of the ban appeal - just state what you were doing just before you left the server and that found yourself banned on return.
since this was a discord ban ill say n/a
Why do you think you were banned (select the best choice below)? Admins should only ban based on the following policy: totalfreedom.boards.net/thread/65799/server-rules-conduct-policy-read
c. I did violate one of the conduct rules and was fairly banned (state which one)
the homophobia one
Have you reviewed and agree to the server conduct policy (yes or no)? Please review the policy at https://forum.totalfreedom.me/d/7
Yep

hello people
i'm luke aka phr. it's been 3 months. i came to say hi and to catch up and shit
how have we all been? good? bad?
also why are people still liking my posts when i haven't been here in 3 months, weird to get notifs that "fionn liked your post 9 days ago""
Quote@fionn#6915 It's not that. You've been purposefully bending around the rules for months at this point & the executive team and I decided to suspend you.
What is it for then? Please provide other screenshots and what rule I broke, because so far you've only mentioned todays incident and mentioned slurs.
Quote@fionn#6915 That group chat is not an official part of TotalFreedom.
Funny that, you can get removed for leaking stuff from it so it does seem to be official in some capacity
Quote@fionn#6915 No, it isn't.
Then why don't have a ZTP if I can get banned and suspended for using just one slur in a quote? Bigotry (as you seem to think it is) is only section 3 and thus I shouldn't even be banned for this
Quote@fionn#6915 The third screenshot is you blatantly ignoring the instructions provided to you by a member of the EAO team, you admitting you refuse to adhere to him.
Yeah? Only formal warning worthy in the policy put up by Elmon?
QuoteYou have also stated in the past you only stay on the server to bicker and moan
I was literally joking I stay back because I enjoyed the community and I had genuine friends here
