Explanation of Ban please, what can I do to play?
« Opened on March 22, 2014, 03:44:43 PM »
Hi, my username is the_racialist. I logged onto this server today and was pleasantly welcomed, i said hi then i was banned for 10 years. I don't understand why I have been banned. when I attempted to log in again later, the reason had changed to "sorry but your username doesn't meet our standard" or something to that affect.

I do not understand what is wrong with my username on a family server. I have played many family servers in the past.
also, if my name is a problem for some reason can I not be assigned a nickname to hide my username. I have friends who play on the server and they have told me that nicknames are implemented on the server.

Please can someone explain to me fully why I have been banned as I simply want to play on this server which looks very friendly and pleasant. I only want some where pleasant to play, I follow rules and enjoy playing in a friendly community. thank you in advance.

Hello Earlzo,

 Thank you for taking the time to post a plea.

 Unfortunately, you will be unable to play on the Famcraft server with your current name. If you with like to play using another account with a family friendly name, then you are more than welcome to join us.

 Your name is in direct violation of our core rules, as seen here: https://famcraft.com/index.php/topic,2.msg25613.html#msg25613


And specifically:

Quote
Abusive, racist, sexual, drug-related, belligerent, political, anti-political, religious, anti-religious, and inflammatory chat is not allowed in posts, text, skin, shapes of structures built ingame, text in signs, private messages, or nick/screen names.

 We understand that you may have been allowed to play on other family friendly servers using this name. You will find that Famcraft is quite different in many ways. We enforce the rules we have set to keep the community safe and happy.

 Nick names are never provided to a player to cover an unsuitable name. All names that do not comply with our rules are banned immediately.

 The nick names we offer on the server are a  fun donor perk for Famcraft players. Players who have nicknames have donated to the server, and then have additionally paid 100k in game currency to enjoy a new nick name. These players had names that were already within our rules.

 Even if we did offer a nick name in these situations, it would still allow the offensive name to show on "tab". We simply will not have that here.


 Thank you for understanding our stance. I do hope you'll join us with an appropriately family friendly name. If you can not, then I wish you the best of luck finding a new server.

thanks for replying to my post, that's fair enough. I do fail to see how my username is actually "racist" in itself. I could jsut as easily argue that your username is "religious" - "cherub" referring to biblical events and symbolism and therefore breaking the rules as well. thanks all the same.

 Ah, yes.

 The definition of racialist is not quite so varied. Thank you for your thoughts on the subject, just the same. I am glad you understand.
 
 Happy server hunting.
