Synopsis: I got banned on Goonstation servers for accidentally sending "sussy balls" to the admins, i admit that this as a silly thing to do, however, i wanted to provide some context:
1. I did not know that I was sending my message to the admins, I was just sending something random to what was labeled as "CentCom" to pass the time, if I knew that the feature meant sending a message to the admins, I would have thought about what I sent a bit more
2. It was not obvious to me that saying "sussy balls" was a violation of rule 4. One time someone said "eggs" in OOC chat once, which I jokingly followed up with "seggs :flushed:" after which it was made obvious to me that what i said violated rule 4, as an admin messaged me about it. Originally, i was assuming rule 4 was against directly sexual messages, and that a sexual word without sexual context or sexual activity referring implications would have been fine, but the message clearly warned me that if i did that again, i'd probably be punished. However, with me occasionally saying sussy balls, no admins warned me that "balls" would be taken as sexually interpretable and therefore would be taken as breaking rule 4.
Extra Information: In conclusion, my actions were caused by not knowing things, not knowing what counted as breaking a rule and what a game mechanic did. I'm not saying that what ley did was wrong and i am not expecting to be unbanned (though I'm subconsciously hoping for enough forgiveness from admins for them to unban me) but my recommendation: If you don't like someone's actions and believe they are breaking a rule, give an obvious warning. Especially if one repeats the action.
