Hello Oli,
I have spoken to the staff member that banned you. You were not banned for typing "gay" in chat, you were banned for having too many recent punishments. I already warned you recently that you should stop breaking rules or you would get banned again. You decided to ignore the warnings given to you and break rules still. I warned Richie about this myself and when they saw you join the server they checked your rapsheet to see whether you had heeded my warning. You hadn't so he banned you.
You werr banned for 7 days. As I banned you for that amount myself recently we have decided to increase it to 10 days.
Please stop breaking rules, thank you.
