Is homophobia in chat allowed? What about homophobic slurs, such as "faggot" or calling people "gay" in a derogatory manner?

They seem like they fall under "discrimination" (related to, but not explicitly, gender) and just being a dick, but aren't explicitly called out in the rules for the server that I've seen.

Reason I ask is because there's a regular troll on the server who is generally quite unpleasant and abusive, but somewhat smart - he toes the line just behind racism and griefs just enough to annoy without being blatant. But if homophobia and "faggot" aren't allowed, then I can begin to show some real evidence against this guy.

It's so commonly used, its not enforced. It'd be like punishing players for using the f-word. (F***)

In certain cases, if the mistreatment from one player to another is excessive (especially in a discriminatory way) an admin could take action.

Homophobia isn't allowed.

However, as @Defibyoulater has said - the terms "faggot" and "gay" are typically seen as generic insults.
If it becomes persistent against a specific player just because they're gay - then it may be enforced by an admin.
