Events leading to the ban

I want to sincerely apologize for using the term “fag.” I realize now that it’s a hurtful and derogatory word that contributes to a culture of discrimination and harm. I regret my choice of words and understand the impact they can have on individuals and communities. It was thoughtless of me, and I’m committed to being more mindful and respectful in the future.

Reason the ban should be removed

I just want to enjoy the game again with my friends, and I believe it has been a long enough ban for the use of a simple word. (roughly 4 weeks?)
