30 days - Racism
No its not, that was not racism. Sure, I used the word nigga, tried to make a point for ultra discriminating homosexuals. Obviously I was making a good point since I'm banned for 30 days, you guys dont give a single shit about context but ban people no matter what. Just doesnt feel consistent really, you cant say nigga because oh lord maybe somebody takes offence in a word that nobody gives a shit about even if its used in an absolutely non-racist way, but sure you can go along and call people a faggot implying it is a negative thing to be homosexual. If you want to make a problem about words, go make a problem about words and ban everyone. Or stop being an antfucker, a fine dutch expression for somebody making a problem about insignificant things, and unban me.

Re: wat
Context was given. There was no need to insert the word but equally I'm annoyed that faggot gets past the radar and nigga doesn't. He admitted not to approve of homosexuality, which means the usage was likely based on personal hatred. I'm strongly considering pushing for use of "nigga" as an accepted colloquial reference to no longer be a bannable offense.

Re: wat
Using the word "nigga" is never ok no matter in which way.
But i get your point and rather vote banning for "faggot" too in future.

@Aza, giZmo: For instance I'm annoyed when "goy" gets past the radar (simply "non-jew" meaning is enough for me) the same way, like we discussed before. No, really, we can't just ignore the reflection from the world around us and "do it our own way which will certainly be the best", especially when someone cries tears about word xyz.
From what I've seen, "nigger" was bannable everywhere (incl. forums), when used to call someone. Sure there are cases how this can be trolled, but such would be like joining a server where there are admins only, and say the word just to troll them - or well, seen Borat? That's something I'd consider clear trolling. Anyway I've never seen someone banning for "fag" or "gay".
Besides, the reason why we're banning is that we don't oftenly have an effective alternative, not to show our power.

Re: wat
The colloquial usage of nigga and the offensive usage of nigger are completely different things. Goy is also completely meaningless as well. When you call people retards or retarded, do you believe that's on the same level? At the risk of repeating myself, goy has no history behind it and the actual meaning of the word is unoffensive.
