I have no issue with the fact that you're appealing, but if you spam the forums with appeals, you can get forum banned, so please keep that in mind.
I dislike the fact that people were warned for this without it being fully clear in the rules, and I would personally have left it at a verbal warning, however the warn in itself is perfectly valid, due to the interpretation of the rules and the fact that it can be linked back into trolling and spam, as I said on your report abuse. A good rule for us to add to make this clearer would be one like the rule we have on Prophunt:
1.96 - Web Taunts
Similarly to with the Jukebox, all taunts from the Web Taunts system must follow the ZARP TOU and all other Prophunt rules. Do not use any taunts that are disrespectful, racist, discriminatory, etc. or anything else that breaks any other rules. This includes anything disruptive (including, but not limited to, loud or high pitched noises)
Also, we cannot block "earrape" taunts as a whole, we can only block either taunts containing a specific word in the file name or specific taunts. Going through and doing this for every taunt that is "earrape" would be horribly inefficient and take far too long, and there will always be taunts that we miss out.
This is the current rule, from when I have been on Deathrun and witnessed people play ear rape taunts, it affects no so what you're saying here about it links into trolling is irrealevant. Others take it as a joke but staff members enforce a rule that is currently not visible to users, the rule is made up and you should not be punished for it if it affects no one.
The reason he was warned was because of a staff member enforcing a non-visible rule which would make the warn very unfair.
Look at that video and tell me if you see any players getting annoyed apart from the admin for enforcing a rule that is not real on (DEATHRUN) yet.
I also advice you show proof to back up what you're claiming, or are you just going off a guess?
