But if it's used in the way your takling about, then it does deserve a ban. Or someone on chat says something like, "gtfo" and gives no other reason other then, "I don't like the (insert racist statement here)"  then that would be considered discrimination. If someone does call out a minority with racist slur, then I think the ban should be extended a little from say 3 days to maybe 6 at the most. However, what if it's non intentional, like if someone meant to type another word and put something else? Happens all the time with auto correct when a user uses an apple device like a IPod touch or IPad. We need to be sure in matters like this, we could accidently get an innocent person in trouble for some accidental auto correct or refering to a friend. Auto-correct incidents are impossible as those words aren't in their "Dictionaries". The only way to add them is to train your device. Honestly in my personal opinion I am neutral on the whole friend thing. It seems like it can be easily abused.
