When were you punished? Mar 31, 2025

Briefly summarize what led to you getting banned. Why should we unban you/shorten your ban length? The reason for the ban is "major violation" of rule 12: no NSFW/lewd content. More specifically, one of my maps (cp_dustbowl_improved) had textures that had loli characters on them.
I disagree on the ban, since the images do not contain anything suggestive or pornographic. The characters on the textures are clothed and do not have lewd poses. I don't see anything remotely suggestive about the images. The reason why these textures were included on the map is for comedic value (since this was an april fools submission) and not to entice the players.
Also, I was banned from both discord and TF2maps, but I could only select one on the guest punishment appeal menu.
Sorry for bad english if there is any.

If the joke for the map was to make you look like a pedophile, then it isn't a very funny joke for a map.

Having map textures featuring the phrases "I love cunny" are abhorrent and you should be ashamed of yourself for even submitting this to the public for people to see. It doesn't matter that there wasn't explicit imagery, it's about the message this sends to people. We have minors that play on this server, and you think it's acceptable for them to play a map with textures glorifying the sexualization of underaged characters? Horrible. We take stuff like this extremely seriously and we do not feel comfortable with you in this community now that you have shown us what you find funny and enjoyable, declining this appeal, don't come back.
