    indicates the word as seen here http://pastebin.com/uQyGkMY7

    Last thing you did: Use Smega
    Why do you think you got banned?: Banned for using profane language.
    Ban message when attempting to log in: Autoban for Illegal Smega : Where can a get a GFA 60%

    http://royals.ms/forum/threads/some-clarity.2835/ says that "Words such as the n-word, language historically synonymous with its intent, and variations of the word are not allowed to be spoken megaphones."

    The word "" should not be classified as profane language or count as a "variation of the word" unless signified specifically due to it having a completely different meaning.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ states that the word "is a colloquial term" and that "the term may indicate "solidarity or affection",[12] similar to the usage of the words dude, homeboy, and bro." which is exactly what I meant from the word.

    I realize it's a controversial topic. If you, the owners of the server, feel that it is a profane word than I will not use it anymore, nevertheless I think a ban is not justified.

    Something to prevent this from happening in the future is stating this word as an example within the post indicated previously.

    Thank you for your time.

    It is stated in the game terms and conditions, there is even a link which directs you to a more detailed description of the use of racial/homophobic slurs:

    Hello Matt,

    I realize these are the rules. I'm arguing that the word I used doesn't count as a variation of a "racial slur" and because of that, the ban is not just.

    A solution would be to have this word cited as a specific example.

    Thank you,
