Dude is also a title for every gender.

I got banned from a great, progressive sci-fi and fantasy writing community for several dumb reasons similar to each other, one of them being I said Wikipedia and the entire internet said "guys" and "dude" are gender-neutral. (And yes, it was a great community. Nothing's perfect though.) Also for suggesting that maybe one day we'll be progressive enough to have a dedicated non-binary pronoun instead of "they"— at the least so my novel-writing is less confusing when multiple parties are addressed. The admins claimed I was talking in "anti-trans rhetoric". Hilariously, I have trans and non-binary protagonists in my novel, and everyone there knew it. My best friend also moved from another state to become my housemate, and she is MtF trans.

Probably an admin who was pissed at you for what ever reason.

I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with saying guys. That's ridiculous.
