Recently I joined a nice group called Hellsgamers. They run a lot of CSS, CS:GO, GM, etc servers and they're really fun.
I joined thinking that it would be an awesome community and that there would be very few problems with it. I met some cool people, all was going well.
Today, I was playing jailbreak on CSS (think of it like simon says but with guns). The warden (leader who tells us what to do) does a joke day (where we tell jokes). People decided to tell jokes regarding the death of Paul Walker. Most of us tell these sick jokes, none of them are muted. After the round ends, I proceed to tell a joke that I had found online regarding the death of Paul Walker. I get muted for 9 rounds. Now, 9 rounds is about 30-45 minutes depending how well the day goes (day=rounds).
I post on the forums calling this abuse, since earlier we were telling these jokes and it was okay. And since it was 9 rounds, which was a bit harsh. I already knew nothing was going to happen since the person who muted me was one of the higher ups (Upper Management). A lot of the people I talked too thought that it was a bit ridiculous but kept their mouth shut knowing that if they talked, a shitstorm would brew. I patiently wait for a response from someone regarding this issue.
I go back to playing jailbreak. The warden calls a "What would you tell me if I was a sick Consuela" (warden's in game name is "Consuela" and he does a pretty good impersonation of the character. She is the maid in Family Guy). I decided to say something that could be considered borderline racism, but since it was Consuela, it was supposed to be okay. I get kicked for racism. Now I go back into the game, and the person that was going was talking about how Consuela was supposed to be cleaning the kitchen. The person talking isn't kicked and he's talking about cleaning kitchens when all I talked about is mowing lawns (both were borderline racism). Again, people see me being kicked and tell me how to drop it since I was obviously getting worked up over it.
I go to the forums to see if there is an update. There is.
I read it and it comes off as being a bit rude since he used the words "beetch" and "lube" (you can probably guess what he said).
We go back and forth and sort things out. The original intention was because of the length of the mute, not the mute itself. However the Upper Management person who was reviewing my case did not understand/avoiding the questions (?) and eventually closed it because I owned up to it and that I got what I deserved.
I go back, I rage and then I get banned for disrespecting.
I talk to some of my friends that I've made and they all tell me how the "Upper Management" and the leaders in the community itself is a bunch of bull. They don't really care for the players at all.
I obviously left this community and am currently in search of another gaming community.
TL;DR
Gaming communities should be about the players. And some people can't read.

sidenote: sorry for this long post. I kinda wanted this off my chest before I went to bed.
Edit: here is the conversation for the abuse
