I'm asking because a site mod temporarily banned a user who follows a stream I own for using a homophobic slur in a non-offensive manner.

How does one use a slur in a 'non-offensive manner'?

By defining it or using it in a quote

Yes it was. I personally believe the actions were uncalled for, but I can't do anything about it.

It shouldn’t be in my opinion as you’re simply restating what they said to show they said it.

That's what I'm thinking!

Several words are categorically disallowed.
You cannot make posts that mention the word, even if it's said by someone else on Imgflip or elsewhere.

The way to post something that contains the word, is to censor it before posting it; if you think the word is adding to the content you're posting and you can't erase it completely, try censoring it in a way that makes it comprehensible to those that make an effort to read it and ideally, asking a sitewide mod if it can be allowed in the context.
All that comes after you mark your post NSFW.

Still, understand that there's no guarantee whether your post would be allowed, because that depends on the mods' discretion.

Site mods have been taking down posts/comments containing homophobic slurs a lot more recently.
