I got a timeout by saying "queers".

I'm assuming the same thing goes for "fag/faggot"

So, you have no proof and you could have gotten the one mod that does ban for queers. I know half the mods do ban for it, the other don't. Like Zeeb.
There was a debate on if it should be fully banned, it didn't pass. So it's not officially against the rules, just at mod's digression. Wop is nothin'
compared to "fag", so... no.

There's not much we can do if there's no pictures/demos, then again we could just look at the chat log.

Either way, it's still a bannable offense.

Yes, it's a part of the TF2 forums, but we ARE a TF2 community right?

It's his NAME that's offensive. I can like... post a pic of his profile if that would help but I've already posted the link. Screenshot/demo should be required when it's in the guys name. What if (and I'm using this as an example ONLY... don't freak out) I named myself Nigge®Beate®. That's a ban. No need for screenshot/demo

With that logic, Brit, Jew, Yank, Guido, Mick, 'Merkin and Wigger should all be banable. They're all slurs against someone's ethnicity.
If Wop is bannable, all these words should be too, no?
I don't see how Jew would be a racial slur, it's what everyone calls them. You don't see people calling italians wops or black people ni**ers on the news

I've never even heard of "wop" before
According to Wiki,
Guapo—Guappo-Wop meaning: Stout, courageous, valiant, bold, enterprising, good, clever, spruce, neat, elegant, Gay, sprightly, fond of courting women, good-looking, handsome.
Guapo [goo-ah’-po, pah] is one of the words which means: the
Adjective:
1. Stout, courageous, valiant, bold (valiente), enterprising, good, clever. 2. Spruce, neat, elegant (elegante), ostentatious, vain. 3. Gay, sprightly, fond of courting women. 4. Good-looking, handsome (hombre).

Wop is a pejorative racial slur used primarily, but not exclusively, to refer to people from Italy.

And according to (ew) UrbanDictionary:
(n) a racial slur for an Italian or person of Italian heritage. It is often said that this term comes from "With Out Papers" or "Working On Pavement," but it actually comes from the Italian word "guappo", meaning a swaggerer, pimp, or ruffian.
I wouldn't really find this offensive

In some parts of the Jewish community, it's considered a slur.
I would only consider it a slur if it were to be used in a bad way, like calling someone a f**king jew or something.

But I can see why some jewish people would consider it a slur.
