I really see nothing wrong with the swearing, gay part has some potential to offend, however.
I'd say a slap on the wrist at most for that... but hell, I'm no moderator :/.

The system here is way too girlish for my taste..but I still post here and enjoy myself. I doubt, for instance, a gay guy would stop coming here or take some serious offense from such a statement. I know which moderator gave you that ban, and I'm willing to put my money on the fact that he himself will lock this thread.
Rules here are way too harsh for people to have some grown up fun. It's a game for grown ups, anyway.
My opinion? All that post should have gotten are a couple of "lols" and that's that.
A very good case can be made for how clean our community is. Clean as in; no useless swearing, caps locking, spam threads for advertisement e.t.c. e.t.c.
For this I am thankful for our wonderful moderators. They know their job and they do it very well.
The reputation of this community speaks for itself.
But on the other hand, I agree with you in that the penalty could have been far reduced as you did not direct your words to anybody specific whatsoever, you simply gave your opinion on the topic.

Please take this issue up with an administrator or the staff member that infracted you for the violation. Thanks
(And you were not banned for that single infraction administration. You were banned for accumulating six total active infractions for repeated violations of the same rule(s).)
This is what I said:
Is that worth it? If it is, then my mistake.
