Why should you be unbanned?
I am assuming I was gagged and muted for using a soundboard occasionally, but why am I also muted from typing messages?
I was using my sound board sparingly within context, and nobody has ever told me they had a problem with it for over a week, but now I find myself banned from using my voice and from typing anything for over a day without warning.
Why not demand I stop using soundboards first, as I was making sure everyone was OKAY with them, and did not bother anyone with them? I was not "spamming" music, only playing sounds and random voice lines.

Another reason I might assume I was double banned from using COMMs is because I pressed my "K" key twice in quick succession accidentally which is a message of the Lenny face that automatically sends into chat, and was probably automatically muted from it? I am unsure but I think that is kind of harsh for being an accident.

Soundboards or music over voice chat is not allowed. Warnings are not required. You should know the rules and follow them. Your silence is for a day.

Under spamming examples of the rules it only states playing music as a spammable offence, I only started using my soundboard because I found others using their freely, and more often then I was. Is there a part of the rules that I missed that ANY use of a soundboard is an instant punishment?

If you run a stop sign, police officers don't have to give you a warning and can write you a ticket. Same concept here. Soundboards are not allowed and if you use it again your silence (both voice and text) will be longer.

You were the only one who played sounds over the mic. The others were talking, or screaming, for that matter.

But you made a ban appeal, and explained your actions
I'll lift your mute ban, but don't use the soundboard again. If you do, then the mute will be longer next time

to clarify, I was talking about over a week. I have seen others use them during that time span and I never got a complaint over my sounds, people even laugh at them which I enjoy. Though the moment I receive a warning to stop then I stop and turn it off completely. Thanks for the unban, wont use the sounds again even if anyone asks me to use them.

Alright I understand this, but Ide assume soundboards are big enough problem for you guys to have its own example right? Why not suggest adding it like this: "Soundboards and music is not allowed on voice chat." Just trying to help so this doesn't happen to anyone else.

If you see anybody else doing it, report them here on the website
have fun

The rules are already very long and examples can be added all day until its 100 pages long.

It sounds like you understand now and will stop - so that's good enough.

Thank you for doing your best.
