I reject your appeal on the grounds that it was not humorous to rename New York City "Jewtropolis". There's also enough evidence that you did a lot more than that, renaming streets after Hitler, and so-on. I do not judge your vandalism of Open Street Map to any more clever than demonstrating how easy Wikipedia is to vandalise, which indeed a number of web and mobile apps use. What you did was Antisemitic, and while as a Jew I'm not particularly offended by it (because I'm thick-skinned, but I don't find it funny either), it wasn't a good thing to do. Furthermore we want SporeWiki to be a constructive space, not where there could be constant tension over prejudiced ideas and jokes. I'm not big on political correctness but I do expect everyone should assume a minimal standard of politeness to maintain the constructive space that works best for a wiki.

Unfortunately what you did on SporeWiki's Discord was to involve members of the community. I hope you can understand what sort of damage this could do to our small community if the spotlight of the internet's rage was to shine on it. I remember reading about the "Jewtropolis" controversy weeks before and how much outrage it generated.
