Denied (Perm - Name Only) - Banned 2 years ago for my name

Hi

Ive been enjoying your invade and annex servers for some time now. Around 2 years ago I was kicked from your servers for using my name Lezbianaire. I then changed my arma name to Lez and Les which both got me kicked. I have been using this online handle for over 10 years on every gaming platform. I played Australian esports competitions that were streamed online with my name and no one ever complained. Since then i have changed my name to Lesbianaire spelled backwards on arma until another admin on your servers noticed this. After talking with the admin he explained the reason i was initially kicked was that my name is slang for the word dyke. And that is correct but neither the word lesbian or dyke on their own is offensive or innapropriate especially for people over the age of 15 which Arma 3 is rated for people 15 years and older. Its also 2019 there are lesbians everywhere and homosexuality shouldn’t offend you, or else you are part of the problem.

I would just like to be able to use my name on one of my favorite servers and if that is not possible I surely see no reason to stop me from using either one of my shortened versions of my name. (Lez or Les)
If there are any concerns please put them forward as I would like to work towards a solution that is beneficial to everyone.

Thanks,

Lez

You may feel that way but on our server, it is against the server rules. It is obvious to me that you either did not read the rules or do not care to obide by them.

We will not be lifting the name bans, and I will be talking with the other admins to decide if this is the correct community for you or not.

On 08-23-17 the original name used was banned. You were also given a warning for joining TeamSpeak after you were kicked and using the same name.
On 09-11-17, the abbreviated names were used and also banned from the server by another admin.
Six months ago you adjusted your Steam name by replacing the ‘s’ with a ‘z’.
On 06-13-19, you joined the game by reversing your original name. The name you were originally banned for.

In the past 2 years, you have also used the names Nathaniel and Maverick and have accumulated almost 44 hours on our servers. Prior to your return to our servers on 06-11-19, you had been absent for quite a period of time.

You then create a forum account with the name you were previously banned for.

It should be obvious that the majority of names you have chosen to use are not appropriate here, yet you keep trying to create ways to force your name and your agenda on our servers in hopes of circumventing the restrictions and doing what you want.

Our servers are operated in a manner to promote a fair and enjoyable environment for those wishing to play a military style game. The use of names that could promote ill-will or force a potentially inflammatory topic are not allowed. By using a sexual orientation name on our servers is not acceptable and your attempts to bypass this make you eligible for a permanent ban.

I appreciate the fact that you changed your game and server name, but using the name “UnapprovedName”, after everything leading up to this point, is pushing the limits of your time here.

Please remove the account used to register in the forums (and website if they are the same). I would also highly recommend you change the “Unapproved Name”. The ban names that are in place will remain. For the future, you are on probation. Any violation or perceived violation of our rules and expectations will result in a permanent ban without warning.

Thank you for your time, I did not actually read the rules to the end and will take careful steps to abide by them.
