Sorry about the delay. Sometimes I forget to check this site.

The reason for your ban was because of a racist username attached to your account "chimkenniggard".

We have a very strong policy against racist usernames. 

I will lift your ip ban and allow you to connect with a normal username. If you connect with another racist username or do anything racist or toxic in the server. The ip ban will be put back in place with no chance of appeal.

Aguy:

Hey Agentsix1, when I tried to join, it said I had a permanent "IP suspension" due to "staff action". Is this a perma ban? I did not do anything that violates the rules, so pls reply and unban me. Thank you.
