Keep telling yourself that, while the GMs have already refused your report.

So, just to clarify, you are saying we CAN use racial insults, so long as we feign ignorance over the victims actual race?

Show me where did I say anything like that.
While at it, explain how race is a lifestyle.

If it applies for homophobic slurs when you don't know the other person's sexuality (lifestyle) it should apply for racial slurs when you don't know the other person's race (racial), and you previously said you've got to be in the lifestyle to be offended or affected by said slur, like it's not a valid homophobic slur to call somebody that and tell them to off themselves for it, therefore it should be okay to call somebody a racial slur since there's no way you'd know their race.
And those two are under the same rule.

In case you didn't read the first time.
You're so desperate to get someone banned that not only you tried to claim you're a homosexual, now you're trying to equate racial slurs with common insults. Take a look in the mirror.

Those two are under the same rule, it's up to whoever made the rules to put those two in the same "category" or whatever you want to call it.
Next, you still seem to know my sexuality better than I do and ALSO, you're still letting one person free for telling somebody to off themselves for being gay and another for being gay and "not even being white".
If I'm desperate for whatever, you're desperate to let people around your rules for some reason, whatever the reason you may have for it.
Ignore the report if you'd like, I'm calling you and whoever is in charge of those reports for what it is.

Honestly, the only person here who is twisting the rules is Obnoxious. Seems like they have a very particular interpretation that is completely against the officially stated policy, yet they insist they are correct.
The rules themselves, from https://forum.warmane.com/showthread.php?t=65037 clearly state that "Even if you are just 'joking' it isn't allowed"
To make it very clear that Obnoxious is misrepresenting the rules, here is a direct quote from the link:
Nowhere does it say that one must identify as what they were called, it is simply prohibited regardless of intent.Racism/Discriminatory Behavior: Avoid at all costs, insulting someone's country, culture, lifestyle or skincolor. Even if you are just "joking" it isn't allowed. Slangs such as the n-word aren't allowed either, even in Guild chat. Don't blame guildies for reporting you. It's wrong and you should know that.

Is third time the charm? Probably not, who am I kidding.

Discriminatory behavior and hate speech are not the same thing. Hate speech is a vague term that doesn't have a real definition. If someone has broken the rules outlined in the mentioned rules threads, then report them. If not, and you don't like the speech that was used, then use the game's ignore feature. That's what it's there for. Then move on. That's simply all there is to it. Nothing more, nothing less.

Yep, just for the record, saying "Kill yourself (insert f word used as a derogatory term for gay men), you're not even white" isn't nor homophobic nor racist.
Thank you mods and thank the Olympian Gods you can't even say that "Even if you are just joking".

And that's all folks.
Darwally, it is up for the Head GM to judge GM actions. Forum Moderators can only give personal opinions over the matter without final definition on the results in-game. You may write a complaint to the Head GM by sending a private message to him:
