Hi Shane!
DeadMC is proud to be a safe and welcoming space for everyone. We have players from all different cultures, ages and beliefs. Our rules are in place to ensure this is true.
While something may not offend yourself, it may be offensive to someone else. Therefore our staff will ask a player to stop this behaviour in case they aren’t aware that their actions may be offensive.
Multiple staff had asked you to drop the subject as it was becoming hostile and aggressive. When the topic turned into an argument, the staff gave you temporary mute.
It is against the rules to attempt to evade a mute or ban, including using signs or the Discord to chat. We have these mutes in place to give you some time to think over your actions.
You can find this rule here: www.DeadMC.com/rules.
Donations help support the server and keep it running. The ranks do not expire and some of the benefits you get are instant. Since you have been playing for many weeks with the donation rank, you would have experienced all the benefits of the ranks.
The ban is only temporary, and we would love to welcome you back as soon as possible. If you are willing to make another ban appeal at any time, we would be happy to reconsider the duration.
