Can someone define this "hate language" ?? Since it is a no-appealable 3 week autogline, I'd realy like to know what it is.
I'm on lots of german servers and I've never heard of such a thing. I've seen akills, but never a gline ;/
So does anyone know what is the difinition of "hate language"??
Perhapse, posting the badword script itsself would be less offensive ;/

Hate speech is a term for speech intended to degrade, intimidate, or incite violence or prejudicial action against a person or group of people.

I'm sure you are aware of what words are acceptable and what words aren't. If you wouldn't say it to someone in real life or know you may get in trouble for saying in real life if someone heard you chances are we don't want you to say it on WyldRyde.

Additionally, all network bans may be appealed unless otherwise noted in the ban message.

We cannot post the words and phrases as it would be a violation to put them on the web site as well.

The automatic bans are on derogatory phrases used by white supremacists that are extremely rarely used by accident. The bans are always immediately reviewed by the staff and in the rare cases it is a false positive the ban is removed by the Staff without the need for an appeal.

By the way, never reply to someone elses' appeal in the Ban Appeal Forum. The rules absolutely prohibit it.
