What?

Excuse this next sentence, but THIS is how it is used to be an insult

"Shutup nigger"

What I said is COMPLETELY different.

Everybody knows that niggas is not racist and is not offensive.. it is a joke if anything.

Yep it's plain to see that you didn't use it offensively. Besides, I doubt someone would get the same treatment you have for calling someone a cracka, people just menstruate about nigger. Besides, mods enjoy their positions of power & hand out warns as long as it can conceivably be justified.

Maybe someone took offense and reported it.

A lot of people call things "gay" but does that mean it is acceptable?

U may have ment it in that context, but it could have been viewed by other members/staff members in a differant context

"Inturpritation of rule violations is @ the sole discression of d2jsp staff, if something is borederline it is strongly advised not to post it"

If u feel it was unfair, Plz PM one of the 3 Staff members I listed to contest it

And okay, but even so, I can't get a warning like "this is not acceptable to post"?

They just get so suspention-happy and suspend me with no warning or anything.

Seems kind of unfair to me.

Yes actually

I see the word gay used 1,000 times a day on this site

And nobody does a damn thing?

So jsp only enforces rules about certain races/orientations and not the others?

Don't really understand

If you see someone using the word "gay" than feel free to report it

As for suspensions they are a type of warning to try and get you to realize what you have done wrong before you get an actual warn, so consider you're self lucky bud! ^_^

Why I got suspended yesterday for saying the word "niggas"

Where I come from, the word means the same as "guys" or "buds"

Why the hell does that deserve a suspention?

Did you take it out of context or what?

We needed one more player for our game, and I said "+1 niggas", and kept quoting it.

Is there something wrong with what I did or..?

Not everyone is from where you are.

It is impossible for you to know if people are or are not getting suspended in other threads. Even if you see rules broken, that does not meet it is okay to break them yourself. If someone takes offense and reports someone, it should be dealt with.

Also, a suspension is a warning. Would you rather have a suspension that is temporary or a warning on your record? I'd say you got the lesser punishment.

A suspension is a forum of warning, its designed to inform u of ur violation & help u change ur ways

Since u are posting now its over & no warn percent was issued

Of course I know that, but even people who aren't where I'm from know the difference between "nigga" and "nigger".

Hopefully they suspend + warn him for the same racist comment additionally in the topic title.

Lucky that they suspended me for like 12 hours? Or however long my suspention is up to now?

I did nothing wrong, I said nothing offensive, and if somebody actually took offense to that they must be kidding.

Of course I know that, but even people who aren't where I'm from know the difference between "nigga" and "nigger".

The staff look out for the good of the community and words like "nigga" simply do not belong here. If you do not agree, sign up for some slang forums and post there. Raging here does not help.

Who is raging? I am having a conversation, trying to get why I even got suspended.

I genuinely don't see the offense in the word niggas, especially in the context I used it in.

Not like I called somebody a nigger? I didn't flame/personally attack anybody at all.
