"You are a negro!" is offensive?
Indeed Negro is not an offensive word, but again it is the context that it is used in, and in this context, he was being racist.
Regardless if you joke around with some admins about this stuff, it does not mean when he warns the server not to be racist, you say something racist, it is rude, it breaks the rules, and it is disrespecting the admin in question.
Also, just because someone isn't racist in general, does not give him the authority to say racist things. What he said was racist, his personality doesn't come into question at this point, he broke the rules, he was punished for it.
The personality aspect comes into play when the time is being determined, as in, is he the type of person to break the rules again.
I am also slightly offended that you think all admins will back each other up regardless, I am an EU admin, I think I have spoken to Thundersnow maybe 2 or 3 times? I am just backing him up here because of the fact that his actions were right, and people who can't simply accept this are trying to make it appear he is in the wrong, which he is not.
In some cases, I would have just temp banned him for saying that, but because of the fact that Thundersnow said that he had already typed a warning in the server chat, and then the person in question says something like that, I would have just perm banned him as well.
With the challenging the admin part that I said, it was badly phrased. What I meant is there are always people who want to test the boundaries, or think they are smart by doing the opposite of what the admin has just said. (not sure how to put this into words properly)
