Hey, I was the person who banned you back then and your description of the events doesn't really add up to mine, but I can recollect mostly what happened leading up to the ban considering you were one of the first people I had permanently banned as an admin.
I remember feeling rather bad about the perma since I have never agreed with the rules on racism and how it's a permanent ban.
That and I personally had considered you a promising new player who was fun to be around, wasn't toxic(until the racism) and believe you had donated just a few hours before the ban.
I don't remember Jerome specifically being on or the other thing you had said, I just remember you randomly saying (twice?) at the end of a round. I talked with you about it and how it wasn't acceptable on the server under any circumstance and you said okay. I decided to ban after the warning when you decided to "cough" while saying the N word. I believe you messaged me afterwards saying "" and that it was either your roommate or your brother that said that.
I have to say I was very disappointed afterwards and would rather not have banned you. I still believe you're a good guy and that if racism isn't an issue it would be good to have you back.
