I was playing a game of ground realistic battles and a person asked in chat if anyone knew the nickname of gamers who flew Migs? and I heard apparently it was “Migger” so I replied with that and about 1 match later I had a 30 day chat ban? Apparently “Migger” is Hate speech, Racist, verbal abuse and foul language as it said in the reason part? I had no idea it was that or it was looked at wrong, I never meant to use it as any of those just as a question answer, may I please get an appeal or shorten the length because that is really annoying and I promise to never use the word “Migger” again.

im pretty sure people use it all the time i dont get that just your (maybe more) get the ban when many people use it
There are often people who try to be funny and work around being racist, Or bait people into saying things then reporting them. Accidental or not you’ll have to sit it out.

Well, the expression migger has several possible meanings, ranging from the one related to the MiG’s as correctly stated, but also being a word construct for “mexican n*****”, for example. It is also sometimes used as synonym for the n-word, or used to try to hide that meaning, e.g. from automated word filters.
Of course anything related to racism in any form is clearly against the game rules, thus any context that could hint at such topics is moderated very strictly. And - as also in this case - the racism related meaning has priority over the possible, less problematic other meanings.
