Ban Appeal - "N" Word

Dear HOG members,

I was very disrespectful last match. I was saying the "N" word around in a funny tone because we were on the AFR team (coloured soldiers) in the Ramiel map and we were having some fun in the squad. I am not from the US and didn't know that it was such a bad word. I really had no intention to offend anyone, everyone seemed to get along with the joke until I received the "STOP DOING THAT" message, then people told me to be careful so I just changed the word to "neighbors" but I got banned anyways shortly after. I just want to say that my behaviour was not correct and I apologize for my actions. I especially want to apologize to the admin that warned me because I played with a similar word and tried to get away with it.

I want to ask for the ban appeal because even when I was disrespectul and broke the rules, I had no bad intention when doing so and I also did not know that it fitted into any rule (which is a mistake itself), but I understand that ignoring the rules does not exempt me from the consequences of breaking them.

I am an experienced and motivated player who always helps his teammates and tries his best to do things right. While I understand this has nothing to do with the matter of this topic, I wanted to state that while what happened today is severe, it is something that I am not really into and I will never do again.

Thank you in advance.
