ban appeal

Hi.

A little while back I was banned and then unbanned when someone thought I was advertising, as my usual player name is samharris.org (in fact it is simply the website for a philosopher and neuroscientist whom I admire).

Anyway, recently (I think two days ago) I was in a squad chatting with your admin Jevski, and he indicated that he couldn't see a problem with me using samharris.org, and that I shouldn't worry about it in future. (Hey Jevski, please tell me if you feel that I have not given an accurate summary of our conversation there.)

Aaaaaanyway, a few minutes ago, I was playing as samharris.org, and someone made a squad called "suicide squad", which I joined (I was camping IEDs anyway, so I didn't really care which squad I was in). After a few minutes, I got a warning about the squad name, which suggested the admin had mistaken me for the SL. I didn't make the squad, and I was not SL, nor did I have an officer kit (to be clear), so I was very surprised to get the warning.

Then, a few moments later, I got a warning saying "no site names" (which I assume referred to my player name), followed by a kick.

Don't know if I am banned or not, but anyway, I hope not.

It's hard to imagine anyone coming to any harm by reading the philosophy of a prize-winning author. Maybe watch his TED talk if you want to see what you think of him. ...Or not, but anyway, please don't ban that name. Freedom!

All the best!

Change your name; no more problems.

samharris is good enough, isn't it?

Well, I am eager to keep this one, as I have been using it for a long time now. Also, someone typing Sam Harris in google might be exposed to all kinds of nonsense, whereas samharris.org is (I hope you will agree) a nice clean, legal, malware-free site.

Unless there is some really strong reason to ban samharris.org, then please can I keep that one.

I already have two names (I play as dogbref when my mate catbref is online), so I would rather not add any more. :-/

Sorry about that, that I gave you the wrong impression. I wasnt aware of it either,

But you dont have to worry you wont end up on a goat porn side

Maybe that rule could be junked? Doesn't seem to really serve much purpose anyway. I mean if someone turns up with a website name selling hacks, then yeah, ban their sorry ass to hell, but otherwise, is it even a problem?
