Firstly, to address the obvious—this post is clearly referencing a specific individual who has been banned from the game. It is extraordinarily rare for someone to be banned from Assist in 2025, especially for reasons other than cheating.
Secondly, as we've stated previously, we're not sitting around and monitoring in-game chat logs. If you notice someone using slurs, engaging in targeted harassment, or any similar behavior, you can PM evidence to anyone on the team and it will be reviewed and discussed. The priority is to maintain a welcoming environment for all players—both new and returning.
It is also important to mention that, without getting into specifics, there can be many underlying reasons why someone was banned and why a ban hasn't been lifted. Alex has already shared some additional insight in the other thread but even so, there is more to be taken into consideration than may meet the eye.
Lastly, implementing a code of conduct, community guidelines, or something to that effect, certainly couldn't hurt. However, I’d wager that the vast majority of players have nothing to worry about and would find limited value in guidelines that would likely boil down to: don’t cheat and try to show at least a basic level of respect for others in this community.
Perhaps some others can chime in with their opinions but what I've outlined above is my own.
