In terms of disciplinary conduct, you've been one of the better users on footytube, which also plays a large role in being able to enjoy your comments. That being said, the moderators have acknowledged your good behavior on the forums, and have deemed your use of an innappropriate term as a one-off event.
Having said that, we don't expect you to apologize for your behavior, since your use of the term does not align itself with hate directed at any individual or group, but we would really appreciate it if you could confirm with us that you understand it wasn't the right term to use, and that such a term has different connotations depending on the context.
We just want you to acknowledge why we've taken the steps we have. All we want is a confirmation that you won't use the word, or any other inappropriate terms, again, and you'll be taken off status
I understand your feelings and what you are trying to portray here but your 'french' will not be pardoned in this case. footytube has a zero tolerance policy on homophobic slurs, whatever the situation.
I am forced to put you on status. Feel free to place your appeal on the 'status appeals' page here.
Thanks

My word.... Ribery has been going on like some little Fag lately.... Pardon my french
1. Hate Speech / Racism
We have absolute zero tolerance on hate speech of any kind and breaking this rule will result in an immediate ban without warning. Hate speech includes speech or language which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, sexual orientation/gender identity.
If you are unsure whether what you are about to post may offend, then don't make an idiot of yourself by posting it - our members comprise of many different races and nationalities and, quite rightly, won't tolerate this kind of behavior, meaning you will find yourself permanently banned from the entire site rather sharpish
We likely do have members who are gay and they may find your post offensive hence the reason Tomikato has put you on status, as he says we have a zero tolerance policy on such matters, had it been directed at another user you may not have had a case to answer to.
We can't be seen to let such matters just slide and have to be consistent in dealing with them, just state that you understand and apologise and we can all move on

There is nothing to apologise for.... If I said God was the greatest someone in this site would be offended and make a report because they believe in Science and not in people with wings sitting in the clouds....
I've seen things 10 times worse in this site by users who have been here for a long long time and get away with it like its nothing.... Putting me on status for simply putting the word Fag (once since I joined the site) on a post not directed to anyone is like arresting me for Jaywalking while countless others are allowed to walk around free for Rape.
I've seen people more than once say the word n***a and get off with a warning at most.... Not one of them banned or put on status.... So its obvious that consistent is something you are not....
We have seen people banned instantly for using racial and homophobic language many times, given that you are a good user of the site and have never been brought up for that kind of thing before it was appropriate for Tomikato to leave a warning and you are on status until you acknowledge it.
Where in my post did I refer to you as an idiot?
Tomikato is simply following the guidelines that are laid out for him and he took the appropriate action, it's not allowed simple as
I understand and acknowledge that you are a good user on this site (let me tell you that several Mods have given that input). However, the fact that you think you have done nothing wrong ties their hands too.
As GreatScot said, many good users were banned for racial/homophobic language. Your account exists because everyone wants it to. Don't take the status so offensively. Just correct the mistake, acknowledge that it won't happen and move on. If you keep saying you are right, you are just digging a bigger hole.
Edit: Just let us Mods know that you don't intend to use any such language in the future, you acknowledge this was a mistake and we can all move on with our lives
