Got banned for being racist? Why do game admins ban me so quickly but when I request bans I never get them?

I don't get the deal here. I did not mention a racist word in a chat with someone who said he wasn't paying attention to my chat, but when I returned to haven, he all of a sudden pm's me and said he's reporting me for being racist. I told him how that was possible because I couldn't get a guy named [redacted] temp banned for asking me if he could [woah now] and that he was going to stalk me. The game masters did nothing. I got banned 2 minutes for a week after he said that. He even said I was going to be banned for a week, the longest I've been banned, how exactly did he know that? What's going on here? Admins please show me the chat log and we'll determine if what I said is actually racist. Because I am getting tabs from a person I know for Vana, and they have to leave for another country and won't be on really on Spiral Knights for a year, and I promised to pay someone back a huge amount of ce a couple of days ago. I said that cause I get so pissed that I do most of the work and the players that don't have Asian names tend to stall and let me do most of everything. So that what set me off cause I don't have problems with other players of my kind like that. If player didn't pay attention to what I said why did he report me all of a sudden? I swear some people are really more weird. Same incident happened when I was damaging Vana and reviving and some dude was claiming I didn't help at all, I made the final hit to Vana and he died, but I also died, and parted my health to him and the other teammate but the party leader kicked me before he touched the tokens. The game admins didn't let me get those x3 tokens. Seriously, way too much bias against me just cause I'm not relatable as a race.

It just all blew up cause of the last round before the mandatory reboot that was starting from 45 min, so I told the party to move quickly, but what do they do, they stall at times, and as usual, I had to contribute the most damage(seriously there needs to be a damage and abandoned counter for pve so we know the kind of people we're dealing with before we join random people), so I figure the guy is just playing games with me just cause of my foreign name. Then I got pissed about that and told the next guy in the next run that I wish there was more cooperation in the game, but it was by no means completely offensive. I just wished people wouldn't let others do the work, stall, abandon you, etc, it can get pretty tiresome, and you won't always have friends to join or invite since they could be busy or decide not to join for say being out of mis. I never knew what judgement was given to [redacted]. That dude was confrontational, I wasn't to the guy that reported me. I was waiting around for that player Elial or whatever his name was to do a Vana run with me but he just stood there. One guy even left cause he was just spacing out. He even said it himself he didn't understand the chat, but then when I exit lobby, he private messages me that he's reporting me for being racist. Talk about being a liar, it's like the boy who cries wolf. I hate when I'd still like to know what word I used to evade the chat filter, cause I don't recall any curse words. I'd like to get the chat log. Is there any way to life the ban cause the cause and judgment call is rather confusing as I was not addressing him directly, I was accusing him of stalling the game on purpose, but was not calling him names.

Please appeal bans at https://www.spiralknights.com/support/#mail directly to appeal. Posting on the forums may hurt your chances to appeal the ban.

Those guys are not going to

Those guys are not going to listen to me. It turns out one of them said it was cause I used the word that rhymes with cape. I was using that as an example that I believe I wouldn't get banned cause I believe the guy that used that on me did not get banned. If not, it'd be quite the double-standard and some scandalous agenda going on. The guy who reported me said I was going to be banned for a week for being racist. Racist about how there should be more cooperation and helping people and not making yourself feel like you're a king and I'm a soldier? I was just trying to get that off my chest believing there are different behaviorial patterns. By the way, lots of people evade the chat filter. I even have a snapshot of Statistician saying ching chong chang randomly in the trade chat after I was asking a question about the magic set possibly being nerfed. Trade chat tends to have a global population to reach more people so I figured I'd ask there once. But anyway, the point is, is that is straight out racism, but would he get banned? People will universally say no, without getting into things like reappropriation, etc. I've never heard the n word said once too.

As much as I am sympathetic

As much as I am sympathetic of your cause, the GMs do not wish to see appeals in forum.

There is no way to know if it is a double-standard since you don't know if the other player in question was banned or not. I do know, however, that I would graveyard this thread. You're only inviting a longer ban by complaining about the ban on the forums.

Don't be a jerk.

If we'd all stop being jerks the game would be a lot more fun. But yeah.

So instead you're asking the forum-goers to unban you? This thread is full of derp.

Hi Ranzoh, As your fellow

Hi Ranzoh,

As your fellow players have noted, appeals are supposed to go through support where they can be escalated appropriately, so I'm moving this to the graveyard. That said, your temporary suspension was not for racist language, nor does your suspension message say that it was. I see from your support record that support has explained that to you.
