What? I wasn't arguing with anyone nor did I insult anyone. In fact, I was defending a friend, Ajraddatz, who was being insulted by another user. I never resorted to insults or anything. For the most part it was a civil discussion between me, Ajraddatz, and another user. One user however was interjecting into the conversation with insults and negativity. From what I remember, none of us were told to stop conversing. The only times I recall someone being asked to stop was when the one user told Ajraddatz to stop insulting, which Ajraddatz hadn't been doing, and was a misinterpretation of Ajraddatz's personal opinions (which were not inappropriate and were justified by his reasons), and when you said to "be civil". That remark of yours was not directed at anyone in particular, and you didn't specify what part of the conversation was uncivil (even though two users asked you to specify who/what was uncivil, to which you never responded). Without that clarity, if I failed to abide by your request then that's not something I could have avoided. As I stated, I, and another user, asked for clarification on who/what was being uncivil, but you instead went AFK for the rest of the time that I was online.

I did discuss the situation and my concerns with Nehpets700 later on, who did not state that I did anything wrong. He said that other users believed that Ajraddatz had been insulting, to which I responded with my rebuttal using my take on the situation. Afterwards, Nehpets700 thanked me for contacting him about it and at no time stated any problem with my own actions that would warrant any action such as a 1 week chat ban. Assuming you made this decision to implement the ban yourself, I would like to formally appeal it to other moderators or admins as I do not feel this is justified. You were away from chat during most of the situation, and you failed to specify who or what in chat was a problem, therefore I couldn't correct my own actions as I did not know that I or what I was doing was a problem. Another chat moderator who was online for the situation talked it over with me afterwards and did not specify any issue with my actions. If you discussed this action with other moderators or administrators, I would like to know who you discussed it with and what reasoning was made to come to this decision. As Nehpets700 was the only other moderator online during the situation, I fail to see what other moderators would have been able to assess the situation with you to agree on a 1 week chat ban, unless Nehpets700 changed his opinion on what happened, and at no point when I talked to him privately did he alert me of a problem with my situation.

While I appreciate and respect your efforts to keep chat safe and controlled, I do not feel this 1 week chat ban is justified.
