Per the 2025 Update, we have moved away from permanent bans for most Discord offenses. Hate speech and slurs now follow a tiered temp ban system:
The hard R version, if being used towards another person in a derogatory manner, results in a temp ban following the tiers above. However, if it was typed out as part of a rebuttal against being called that, we review the context and make a decision appropriate to the full intent of its usage. As long as they aren't using the fact that someone called them the hard R in order to say it in chat, we will just delete the message and warn them not to break Rule 1.5.
These days the word nigga has become common tongue among gamers in the age demographic that play PvP in a way that is not conducive to racism or hate speech, therefore outright banning for language that is normal to some is not the best course of action. Instead casual use of this term is permitted as long as it is clearly not meant to be used in any derogatory way.
