Seems I got perma-banned on Discord server?
It happened 2 seconds after I posted a link to a certain silly video. I suspect it because of it's title, which may be considered offensive (a nasty word in the title is my guess?). Makes sense (at least if the system is automated), perhaps I should've thought about that, but I feel like a warning and maybe muting me and deleting the message would've been enough? Instead server just disappeared on me mid conversation and I'm unable to rejoin. And I don't see any way to appeal through Discord, so that's the reason why I do it here.
In any case, I hope it is clear that I didn't intend to offend anybody, but I think I have a good idea how I must've violated server rules, so I'll be avoiding sharing videos like that in the future (unless you decide to adjust your banhammer, which is entirely up to you). If it's all good, I'd like to be able to rejoin, thank you.

Hi!

We don't do culture war anti-SJW stuff. If you want to post that go post it somewhere else, the ban will remain, I don't want to have to moderate all the time until you sneak attack someone with unwarranted politics drama.

Every single time I've unbanned someone after they started posting things like this they just sit in the back row for weeks and then come back with some other awful thing, I'm just not interested in it, sorry.

My apologies, if you give me your e-mail I can refund you the Patreon sub. (Send it to contact@fortunes.run if you want it done privately)

I understand your reasoning and that you don't know me or my intentions, but I promise I had no intention of doing any kind of culture war stuff. It didn't even occur to me that it could be taken that way because discussion that was taking place was not related to anything like that. And just to be clear, the video does not in any way reflect my views or anything, I thought the video was simply laughable nonsense that has no bearing on anything, that's all. And again, it didn't even occur to me that it's contents could cause any issue, since I was talking about literal war a bit earlier with no issue.
The only reason I shared it, is because of a coincidence that it mentioned one of the games that popped up in the conversation. Which is a silly reason now that I think about it since it doesn't really add anything. It was a mistake. But it's not like it was my only contribution to the conversation, so I feel I at least deserved some benefit of a doubt.

I understand that you don't want to have to moderate the whole server, but since I had no previous history of offences, I think it would've been only fair to just delete that link I shared and give a warning. Maybe finding a volunteer moderator would help, but that's again up to you. It just seems the way it is now it's like throwing out the baby with a bath water (me being the baby lol).

I have no interest in culture war type of discussions either, and would like to be able to continue have normal conversations in the server, so I ask you again to please reconsider. I can't show you my track record or anything (maybe my twitter profile lol? from which that type of content is completely absent), but this is the first time ever I got banned anywhere.

If you decide to keep the ban, even though it's a big bummer for me, you don't have to refund me anything, I'm still going to support the game.
