Prepare for the emotional and physical turmoil that is about to ensue. I will not rest until your lifeless body rests upon my bloodied hands, stained by the machine.

@SupItsDillon#2126 can you stop insinuating that he may be Nathaniel, I know it’s not just you but at the end of the day, if he’s made a new identity and is keeping out of trouble, I don’t see what is wrong.
This is ridiculous. If someone gets banned, they can’t just make a new identity and come back and be nice. It’s the same logic as if I commit a crime, move a different country, and be nice to everyone - it’s simply not pragmatic or logical.
If Anthony really is Nathaniel - I would expect him to be banned almost immediately, and rightfully so.

Hello everyone. My name is AshazTGA, and I've got a suggestion for the appeal system.
At the moment, there is no way to appeal by email. However, what's the point in preparing an email for this system? Why not make it so all forum banned users can post an appeal in the ban appeal section? That way even if they're banned in-game, they can still appeal too.
By the way, for y'all that are worrying, no this is not gonna help me right now and I won't be appealing the sanction any time soon. But it will make our system much more efficient, in my opinion.
Thanks!

@fssp#2099 if appealing a ban from a video game server necessitates an unbroken vow of allegiance is foolish. It is equally foolish to compare the usage of the word "swear" as a social contract for a ban appeal, serving the purpose of gathering a player's intentions, to the swearing in of the President of the United States. Made me laugh, though.
God it’s like talking to a cardboard box - the point I was trying to make here is that the word "swear" can be interpreted in different ways, and Ashaz interpreted it in a way different to you. That’s all this is. You said that the word "swear" only had partial connotations of an oath - and I disproved it by saying that one of the most important jobs in the world (US President) requires the president elect to "swear in". This proves that the word "swear" does have strong connotations of taking an oath. Just because someone interprets something different to you doesn’t mean it’s foolish. You are making this argument unnecessarily long by nit-picking what I say and refusing to actually understand my point.
Luke is right, this is a silly conversation especially since we keep going in circles. I don’t expect further replies regarding this matter, as in my eyes it has been dealt with.

Why are so many people applying or going to apply for admin now, I do not want to go back to a situation where people join only to become admin like it was earlier.

@fssp#2030 Except that you're conflating the meaning of "swearing" upon a deity or higher power with the contemporary usage of "swear" as a social transaction of undertaking to comply with a particular set of rules, the second context being that which this appeal requests of applicants. The word "swear" varies between blind affirmation and the act of "swearing by" to the casual taking of a promise to the effect of good conduct.
I have made it very clear that this is what I was doing - and rightfully so. For the seventh time, interpret the word as you wish, not everybody thinks like you. The fact that you are arguing over how someone could perceive a word is shocking, especially since the word "swear" has connotations that are much more grounded than other "partial connotations" you mentioned. The US president literally has a swearing in ceremony, where they say that they solemnly swear.
As for leaving this here, I meant that I was not going to respond any more as this useless argument was taking too much of my time, especially since you fail to see any rhyme or reason that isn’t your own.

@SupItsDillon#1980 Going to object under the basis that the user has only been active on the server for just over 1hr 20mins in the past 30 days.
@James#1977 I also help Ryan run the behind the scenes of things with the TF server anyway and would like to become more involved with the server.
He helps run TF server side.

@fssp#1966 So from all of this, it still stands that Ashaz is unable to swear on something casually as it is frowned upon, and also unable to swear (take an oath) as he is not a "sane individual" yet.
Boiling down your long post the only new information you've added is that the application doesn't call for any oath on anyone - however that is your interpretation of the word "swear". Personally, I would take that as a casual oath (something which is frowned upon in Islam). So it is perfectly fine for Ashaz to not want to swear. Instead they have promised, and according to what you've said, a promise should be sufficient. Your issue was that they didn't "swear" and you think they made a "joke about god", which simply isn't true.Quote@fssp#1968 Neither a religious oath nor the act of swearing to/on someone is requested by the ban appeal template
@Luke#1634 and swear to never do whatever you did again
You can interpret the template as you please, but the word swear does have connotations of an oath and bounding agreement - therefor making it completely valid for Ashaz to be unwilling to swear.
Quote@fssp#1966 This is false, and an intellectually dishonest method of discrediting my original post without providing any real substance to that effect.
It isn't false because in Islam it is frowned upon to "swear to something". You assumed it wasn't.
I'm going to leave it at that as this argument has already taken up enough of my time, and yours too.

@Miwojedk#1957 Swearing (making an oath) is not permitted. Religious oaths are only to be made by sane individuals (adults). So either way, no oaths can be made.
I don’t understand what you’re not getting here. -

@Miwojedk#1932 Your sources do not dispute what I said at all.
Literally the first paragraph of my first source
I have heard a lot of Muslims say “I swear on my children that .. ” or ” I swear on my mother .. “. According to Islam, it is unlawful to take an oath by anyone except Allah (SWT). You can only swear by Allah. So, if you want to take an oath by something then take an oath by Allah (“I swear by Allah” or “wallahi” or “wallahi”).
