This just blows my mind completely. I understand the fact that this server is a public server, but at the same time you have to understand that people make mistakes, we all do. A permanent ban should be issued to players who wishes not to have fun on the server, but to ruin fun for other players ; This is not the case at all for Mario. Mario might say some mean shit here and there, but he will make up to it by apologizing. This is just a game, and the fact that you are willing to exclude a person like Mario, who have been in this community for so long, straight up disgusts me. Especially when he have apologized a lot, and made up to the things he have done wrong. Everyone that is complaining about Mario being racist 100% have a personal problem against him. Mario have never said that N-word are stupid, nor has he ever said anything disrespectful about the n-word. Yes he has used the N-word in its entirety, but so the fuck have I, and so have probably all of you. It's 2016, people really need to stop crying about every single damn thing, it wont help you for shit in the real world.
The only reason I still play on this server, is because of the community, we have fun with each other. Everyone knows Gmod is boring in the long run. - Bit of advice, if you want to keep this server alive, stop killing the players.
You start off by saying that Mario shouldn't be given a permanent ban because he wishes to have fun on the server? That's like saying that people that cheat or indulge in other malicious activities shouldn't be banned as long as they want to have fun on the server regardless of them ruining fun for others as long as they don't join simply to ruin stuff for others.
Mario has said things that are beyond disgusting and ruined the fun for a lot of people in this community with continued remarks and behavior that is unacceptable. This has also been an issue for a very long time and never seems to improve. Simply referring to the displayed behavior as some "mean things here and there" is a massive and unjust understatement.
You also bring up that Mario has been in this community for very long and excluding him is disgusting, this makes little sense at all as one of the few occasions where I'd say a permanent ban is due is when someone has been here for that long yet can't abide to simple rules or show decency to other people in the community.
You're right it's 2016, in this day and age one would hope that people had matured beyond prejudice and racist remarks.
