Again, then why is this up? I specifically said in my original comment that using the words in context, such as someone using gay to mean happy or referring to themselves as gay, was perfectly allowed. Not according to some mods. We really have no ground here as to whether or not "Gay" is used offensively in multiple cases. Some people have just been banned for saying "Gay" when it's completely not in context and we have no idea if it's being used offensively. The mods should know. It's common sense to know when a word is being used in a derogatory context or not. It doesn't say "AUTOMATIC ONE-DAY BAN FOR SLURS—NO MATTER WHAT CONTEXT IS USED," it doesn't say anything about it at all. With past issues with Noah banning a user for a day and me going on Skelly's talk page to change that rule, it should be known by the mods that slurs are a kick, then followed by a one-day ban. There's cases where we literally have no context nor idea.
