Harassing other users is not allowed under any circumstance for any reason. If you're found guilty of harassing other users you will be punished.
Some instances of Harassment are inclusive (but not exhaustive) of: spamming, insulting, name-calling, impersonation, usage of slurs (including but not limited to: racial, transphobic, homophobic, or antisemitic slurs), and targeted disruption. We wish to maintain a friendly atmosphere and any form of harassment in public spaces will result in an infraction or ban being immediately issued.
“Public space” is defined as:
Game - Any room that is not password protected
Forum - The entire forum except for private boards
Regardless of what happened. This is taken from the Global Rules. Toribash clearly states that punishment for racial slurs only enforceable on the forum and in-game. Now I could understand if they enforce it on their own discord server. However, enforcing it on someone who did it in DM's is clearly toribash staff mismanaging the game.
Therefore I deem this ban unjustified, and this case solved.
Also someone wrote that things like this shouldn't be discussed on forum because its a witch-hunt. However I think that a witch-hunt is deserved if staff breaks their own rules.
