So now it is the 31st. I was kindly asked to reply back here on this date. Here I am...I have read the rules again and do understand them. While reading the rules, I continued down the page and saw the proceedure for banning. It seems to indicate that unless the server is very busy or the perp is doing something that could be bad for the server, then the perp will be notified prior to ban. You mentioned my other notes and I went and looked and they are all older than my last ban. If they are in-fact older, then they souldnt have any role on your reason for banning. Also, shouldnt I have been warned first? This was my frst offense for homophobia too. Not that, that makes it ok but still.
