Banned for talking about bananas

I was banned for speaking Dutch after dying N1.
We spoke during the day so only the dead could hear us.
The things I said were:
"ze hadden ook een banaan" (they also had a banana)
"zag ik niet aankomen" (didn't see that coming)
"dood aan de noobs" (death to the noobs)
What my friend said was:
"maar ik heb 2 mensen gestoned" (but I stoned 2 people)
"waar is die andere???" (where is the other?)

I get that you can't speak in a foreign language to make others not understand you, but I was already dead and what I said had no effect.
Only 1 other person had died while we spoke Dutch and they never said anything, nor ask us to stop.
When more people died who spoke English to us, we spoke English too.
I had no intention to cheat.

Let's see which reports TrialBot will post.

As for the report you linked: Speaking in a language that is not your game's current locale is against the rules, even in dead chat and is punished under the cheating category, regardless of the content of what you're saying. The only thing that is allowed is well-known greetings like Bonjour.

Greetings,

please note that you are not allowed to speak in an other language than your selected chat language, thus the report is valid, I apologize.
Disclaimer: I try to abide by the game's softfilter and use the appropriate replacements, when I am using the forums. Those will be set in brackets. Example: [tarnation]
