Well... It was closed, so I could no longer comment. Regardless I was selling the set of emoticons, not being an attention grabber~ If people find it offensive, which they shouldn't, I'll not be making another one of these trades. I do however think that gay isn't a bad word and shouldn't be treated as such, as a member of the LGBT community myself. However, I understand the impracticality of teaching everyone on the internet that... TL;DR I'd like to be unbanned, I understand the perception of my supposed wrongdoing, and while I disagree, I won'tbe making the same mistake twice.

Again... my trade notes: "It's ok to be gay. It's even more ok to buy this set from me for 2 ref"

It's under the discussion section too.

I was banned to, but just for 2 days. It's ridiculous. Check out my ban appeal for my full opinion.

Did you not see what I said? The ban appeal on the site was broken. Everytime I refreshed the page to type something it said it was closed and reposted my original reply asking why I was banned.

So, let me start by apologizing for my on outpost appeal, I don't know why it sent the same message like... 3 times, I think it's my schools internet. Anyways, to really appeal this: I'm banned for spelling gay in emoticons. The message in the trade was that I was selling this set for 2 ref. It also included the fact it was ok to be gay. I'm in the Gay Straight Alliance at my school, and my best friend is gay... yet, I'm banned for homophobia? Nope, I don't accept this. Fear of the word is homophobic, if anything... Sorry, but this isn't ok. If in the trade my message included something homophobic, maybe.. But no. It didn't I was banned simply for the word. I seriously hope this gets resolved. I have no issue waiting out a ban, but hell no I won't be remmebered as the guy that got banned for homophobia.
