Though the ban is way too harsh, before the new protocol for staff members, racism was taken quite seriously and any use of racism in any server would've landed them a minimum of a 3 day ban or so. So this ban is just slightly justified if the protocol didn't exist.
However, with the protocol in place, Gmod should really give a warning for the use of the word. So I do believe that thezeus should be unbanned and instead given a warning.
Imo, gmod may have personal issues with thezeus, this ban doesn't exactly give any evidence of bias whatsoever.
