A little over two years ago myself and a friend wrote a paper about the staff structure of sG. Well, it's finally published and is recognized as the gold standard among virtual communities in the academic world. The journal article can be viewed (for free) here:

Thanks for all the staff members (and my coauthor) for their time in the creation of this journal article. I have several journal articles on the back burner. From time to time, I'll ask the community for assistance in writing these articles (people usually let me down). However if you want to coauthor a paper, let me know.
 
For now, when people ask you about your clan, just tell them to research us in their school library or visit the Library of Congress.

I say apples and oranges to the OP. I don't see what those two rules have to do with each other.

Was this in regard to your report where you killed a player who you believed to have RDMed you the round before and according to you nothing was done? Revenge RDM isn't allowed on the server.

Really isn't an excuse for being karma banned. If your karma is low enough to wear you might be concerned about getting banned then just let a T kill you or jump in lava. BTW you can always message another admin or SO if something like that happens.

Small update soon, attempted to fix traitor room door not opening, an issue with the pig, and added a few small details. Hopefully have the map up relatively soon.

I have kicked so many people from TTT for saying those things. If "****INFRACT ME FOR RACISM****" and "nigga" is racist then so is "cracker", "beaner", and "chink". I don't think racism belongs on the server at all. I have never heard racial remarks on TTT Vanilla being used in the context that the OP suggests either.

Hey so I was playing on your server today when an admin warned me for racism. I had no idea what I had said until he pointed out my use of the "n" word. Yikes.
Before I go on, I want to be clear that I'm not trying to stir up trouble, provoke anybody, or just be a general nuisance. I don't know if I've played on your server in the past, but I enjoyed my time on it today and I think the staff is pretty laid back and chill. I appreciate that Irony (the staff who warned me) tried to explain the rule and directed me to the forums, rather than simply kick me or mute me. I can respect the restraint.
But I seriously have a problem with the apparent rule. I absolutely used the "n" word. I use it so often that I don't even consciously add it to my sentences anymore. Regardless, I can confidently say that I never said anything racist. My use of the word "niggah" was benign. It was a casual pronoun, not a derogatory insult. 
 
There's no such thing as a 'racist word'. A word can have a negative connotation attached to it, sure, but it's meaning is defined by context and perception. Beyond a small minority, I highly doubt anybody is going to be offended by the word I used, within the context I used it. I just can't fathom how casually referring to a friend as "nigga" could possibly be construed as an expression of racism. That's just not how language works. 
 
Now I completely understand the reasoning behind your rule! Trust me, I really do. I know how common it is to have mindless idiots pop into the server spewing inflammatory remarks simply to get a rise out of people. Trolls exist, of course. And I understand that having these rules makes the server more accessible and accommodating to any demographic. You guys are a community. You want to keep things inviting and friendly. 
But I really feel that arbitrarily banning words for their perceived negative baggage is just not the morally correct choice. I'd even go as far to say that it's divisive and alienating.
 
Again I'm honestly not trying to be contrary or annoying. I just seriously feel that the rules should be adjusted to address obvious racist intent and hate speech, rather than blacklist individual words.
The word is part of my vocabulary, but I'm not a racist person by any stretch of the imagination, and I'm sure there are plenty of people just like me. Is it really alright to punish us for thoughtlessly letting a word slip? I just can't wrap my head around it.
 
I hope you guys give this a little thought and approach it objectively. 
Either way, thanks for reading!

I never tried to make a shitpost, just tried to inform people who actually care, and who are apart of the gmod players that I will no longer be an admin.

Mom saw the credit card charges.

I don't see the problem with post-round trainfuck and rocket. Does it affect the potential outcome of the game? No. Preround you could make an argument and those paid admins who do it need to stop.
