Ban Reason: Hate Speech
Ban Date: August 1st, 2024 (8/1/2024)
Hello to the loka staff and community,
I was banned 5 months ago for hate speech, this was my first ever Loka punishment, but I think it's safe to say it was well deserved. I hope this appeal can show you that I am not the same person I used to be and give me a chance to apologize to the people I've hurt. All I ask is for everyone reading this to not disregard my words without hesitation, but take the time to read them.
Why I was banned
I hope that by reading this segment of my appeal, you can get a deeper understanding of what I did wrong. This all started with a small argument in the alliance chats, but within the span of a few hours, that argument escalated into me making fun of certain member's country and a certain tragedy that took place in it. The reason I am not spending more time in this segment isn't because I am trying to downplay what I did, I just don't feel comfortable reciting the things that I said that day.
Apology
Firstly, I would like to apologise to the Loka community as a whole, and my friends in it, for betraying your trust and being such an inconsiderate member of this server. What I did should never be carried out by anyone. I truly feel ashamed of making something as fun as Loka, into a harmful and negative enviroment.Secondly I find it necessary to apologise to LightAndDqrk, batus1 and the rest of the Turkish community, it genuinely makes me feel sick to think of the things I said to you, reporting me was the right thing to do, and in my opinion it is partially thanks to you, that I have grown as much as I have in these past months.
How I've Changed
Ever since my ban, and my departure from the Loka community, I have not interacted with it much. In that time I have made sure that when I appealed, I would be a different person, one that respects Loka's rules and diverse community. I spent alot of time reflecting and changing the way I view not only gaming, but life as a whole.
Proportional Time Perception
According to sources I found on google: "When you're young, a year represents a significant portion of your life. For example, if you're 5 years old, a single year is 20% of your entire life. That makes it feel like a long time because it's a large chunk of your experience. On the other hand, when you're 50, a year is only 2% of your life, so it seems to pass more quickly because it's a smaller proportion of your overall experience."
Before you call this out for not being related to my appeal, let me explain: The reason Im mentioning this, is because for a person my age (16) the time I've spent away from the server have been incredibly transformative. It has been less than half a year, but at this stage of life, that is a significant period for growth and looking within myself. I have changed as a person, and these experiences have helped change the way I approach situations, including how I would interact with the community from now on.
TL;DR
No one should act the way I did, especially in a community that is trying to maintain its status as a positive environment for all people to enjoy. I hope my words are taken seriously, as I’ve felt significant regret whenever the topic of my ban has came up. I am sorry to the people I have hurt and I hope I will get a chance to make it up to you. I understand this appeal might be slightly premature, so even tho the best outcome is my unban, this is also a way for me to get feedback from staff and players alike, therefore, I would appreciate it if the comments on my appeal remained honest and fair in evaluating my character and the effort I’ve put into reforming myself, not only to become a more fitting member of this community but also a more positive person to be around.
