Detailed description of the events that took place and why you disagree with the decision:
A user named Tigeris tagged me on Discord and called me the N word (tho he misspelled it to bypass the banned words filter) and I screenshotted me about to report the message and sent the screenshot in general. BlackBlasses asked me if I really reported that and I said no, and then Tigeris continued to say something along the lines (I can't quote it because im banned from the server) "If your a snitch we are going to handle this outside of discord now" and thats when I said ok, yea I'm reporting you.
Black Blasses then banned me from the server.

I don't disagree with the punishment because I didn't know that reporting a post was against the rules of this discord, I know ignorance of rules is not an excuse but I sincerely felt like I wasn't doing anything wrong but if I broke a rule, then I broke a rule.
What I do disagree with tho is the duration of the ban, a permanent ban seems very harsh, I enjoy the Sythe Discord and don't want to be permanently banned from it

Anything else you wish to say:
I am sorry for breaking the rule of reporting a message.
