This Report is against someone with the ingame name 'Kowii', who obviously serves administrative purposes, so i obviously dont need to name an SteamID.

Game: Team Fortress 2
Server / Map: 2Fort Only

The case:
It all started out with me putting the message ,,#nigger" into the chat. It totally had no real purpose or reference, i just wanted to trigger a player who went upset in the chat about the snipers of our team killing him 2 vs. 1 and stuff. Wasnt a real problem on community servers before, i didnt think about it beeing offensive now. So sorry for that. But thats not the problem, i also did not get anything besides a warning for that. Of course the obvious reason for that warning was "racism", keep that in mind for what follows.

Its about what happened after that.

Some guy with the name '^6Hardcore' who maybe also is moderator or something (The chat said he warned me, not Kowii) began to mock around and say to kowii that the word 'niger' is not against the rules because its basically a country. That really was going on for some time. So i just joined that random conversation for some fun and wrote the following:

Then i got kicked with the reason:
Dont try to fool me

Thats the first abuse. This obviously wasnt a serious comment of mine. Also this Hardcore guy made comments like this the last 5 minutes and hasnt been kicked.

The conversation between this Hardcore guy and Kowii continued. Then i wanted to see how Kowii reacts to the following

I got instantly muted in the chat. Without any comment, just acting like a cool mod "Look at me, i have power. Dont fuck with me".
Also you can see a part of the Hardcore guys comments, the guy who never got any warning, could even warn me, and continued mocking Kowii until World War 3 happened.
Unfortunately nobody on your server who has a special rank is marked with it. So i dont have a clue who is somebody of the "authority".
And i could never write again. The End.

Anyway, some time after that Kowii also started a vote that said something like "There is someone lungering in our intel room, somebody help me".
That was the moment i decided to really report him, because that just became awful. Unfortunately i could not make a screenshot of that in time because it disappeared too fast again. But there are players who could witness that too who visit this server regularly. This *JTF* Wolf guy as example, who seems to be on this server every day since 2 years ago.

So summarized i accuse the serverteam member, of what kind so ever, 'Kowii' for the following:
- Kicking people just because he can. He seems to be that kind of guy who will kick people just because he doesnt like their opinion, besides the rules
- Imbalanced administrating. He punishes me immediatly, but continues the controversial conversation with this hardcore guy without doing anything
- Rank abuse. He is basically showing off his power in chat and starts random votings.
- Dereliction of duty. He just uses commands and doesnt even warn people by himself or explain his actions. This underlines the point showing off and rank abuse.

Also im questioning his general competence. He doesnt act grown up, rather like a early stage teen. He is writing MLG-like comments and mocking people of the opposite team. Its really awkward to watch, also because everybody ignores him in the chat for these random comments.

Just going to assume that things happened exactly as you described them.
It all started out with me putting the message ,,#nigger" into the chat. It totally had no real purpose or reference, i just wanted to trigger a player who went upset in the chat about the snipers of our team killing him 2 vs. 1 and stuff.

Here is my first problem. You say that in your head this word had no negative connotation, but right after that, you say that you used it because you wanted to trigger another player. So you admit to wanting to agitate another player with that exact phrase which means you knew that it could have a negative connotation depending on context and how people interpret it. Otherwise you would have used a different word to trigger people with.

Kowii then gives you a warning for that which is completely fine. I would have used a different reason, like "being obnoxious" for example since I wouldn't believe that you were actually racist, just that you wanted to get attention on the internet (which you were), other than that so far everything is alright.

So after that, ^6Hardcore who is not an admin, just a regular player, he starts to argue about how he should be allowed to say Niger because it's a country and all that crap. After that you make that little "joke" which sounds more like you want to justify agitating others instead of an actual joke and you get muted. Also, kowii didn't call that vote, it's not in his logs.

So to summarize, you were trying to upset someone and Hardcore wanted to argue about words for the sake of arguing. My opinion is that you both should have been warned first, since both of you were just trying to be agitating and if you wouldn't have stopped I would have given you both a short gag. I don't think Kowii was too far off here in anything he did, he could have been more serious and precise and that might have prevented a few things but in the end it was you two who were causing trouble.
