"Abusive Behavior" Appeal

Why the verdict is not fair: I don't see how this is in any way "Abusive Behavior", i live in the United States and here the State department does not consider the original IRA to be a terrorist organization, and i don't in my mind see how fighting for the liberty of one's nation is seen as terrorist activities. I said what i said because where i am that is a factual statement, don't know why you say i knew what response i would get because to be quite honest there was no response to my post anyhow, so i am not entirely sure what you are on about in that regard, doesn't really seem like a controversial opinion to me considering so many people have it.

Additional statements/comments explaining your point of view: Again i would like an explanation as to why stating my "opinion"(fact) is seen as abusive behavior, am i not allowed to express an opinion for fear of bursting someone's E-Bubble.

What would you like to achieve with this appeal: points removed

What could you have done better?: not entirely sure

Hello @Shroud,

Firstly we would like to apologise for this taking a few days. The appeal has been thoroughly discussed by staff members and we have reached a decision regarding it. Whilst your post about the IRA was true 100 years ago, today it is not. Today the IRA splinter groups that claimed origins from the Old IRA have been designated as terrorists from multiple countries. The IRA has also been a long-banned topic on the forums, group concepts being disallowed if they revolve around the theme. DayZRP is simply not the place to be discussing such heavy topics, this should be kept to DMs and private discords. Your claims about them, whilst correct, do not supersede the fact it is a banned topic.

With that said, we have looked at the entirety of your post and, though it was against our rules, we have chosen to reduce the punishment to 5 points instead of 10. Your post was not an extremely bad post, just one about a subject unfit to be on the community services. In future please keep such comments to yourself as these can stir a lot of tension among individuals. This includes both on the forums and on our discord.

Outcome: Appeal partially accepted - Points reduced to 5.

Signed: @Para, @Eddie & @Elmo.
