Leyzr - Reduction + Alternate? (mute?) - Redo

[Leyzr]

Steam Name (Current): Leyzr

Steam Name (During incident): Leyzr

Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:40874953

Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198042015634

Name of staff you were banned by: NotJohnSmith

Length of the ban: 28 days

Would you like your ban shortened or repealed?: Shortened to 2 weeks with alternate longer (60+ days?) mute instead?

Reason for ban: "f-slur + previous warnings for toxicity"

Did you commit the actions stated in the ban reason?: Yeah :c

What really happened?: I was upset about being killed over something stupid, but reasonable. I did say the f-slur, and complained a few afterwards, but I really didn't mean to say it.

Additional details: I'm old, i have bad habits from the past, and they slip at times of weakness. I honestly didn't want to do it, it was a mistake. I've been sick for a little over a week now, and I made a simple mistake. I didn't want to say the word and neither did i mean to. Everyone knows I'm very open minded and have no interest in insulting anyone for their decisions, such as the sexuality and orientation. That's their life, not mine. I have zero reason to attack or insult them for any reason.

This is purely a mistake from an old habit that slips through now and again. I apologize to everyone that heard me say it as I REALLY didn't mean to. I did apologize in voice coms as soon as i realize what i said, but from what I've heard it may have been a minute or two afterwards. I was in a bit of a daze and it may have taken a few for me to realize, apparently.

I also apologize to everyone about my toxicity lately. I've been getting on and off anti-depression meds (which make explain how i was feeling as well, thanks doc for NOT TELLING ME) which obviously causes mood swings. I'll be going on new meds after I meet with my doctor on Friday and hopefully these ones work with me, which is partially why I'm asking for the mute so I don't do stupid shit after this until i know the meds are working either.

Regardless, I REALLY wanna play. It's only been 2 days and I miss you all very much and I love playing with all of you. It SUCKS sitting here at work and not doing what i normally do by chilling with ya'll.

+1. immediately apologized for what he said, clearly didn't intend for it to have vitriol. just give him a long chat ban. I think everyone can get tilted and say things they don't mean in moments of frustration, and old habits die hard. Leyzr recognized and acknowledge the issue, and I hope he uses it as a learning point going forward to step away for a little bit to cool down after getting tilted.

He did not immediately apologize unfortunately. Also a lot of us grew up saying dumb shit like he said yet none of us even remotely struggle to not say those words anymore, it is extremely easy to not say slurs. "old habits die hard" is not a good enough excuse. Leyzr has also been very toxic lately in general, enough to warrant a Warning Level from someone who does not often give them out and said the punishment could have been more severe.

I am however considering a shorter ban and instead just giving him 100% Warning Level (Mute + Gag) for a good amount of time as it's not an issue of how he plays, but instead an issue of what he says.

BAN REDUCED / CHANGED

I reduced your ban from 1 month, to 2 weeks and instead gave you a 100% Warning Level (Gag + Mute) for 2 months. If when this gag lifts you are overly toxic at all or break any rules, you will be banned indefinitely.
