Banned for Bad communication in chat

How can it be that i get banned for saying the small and friendly stuff while other players are free to go insulting me fully without beeing penalized?

How do you know they aren’t being penalised?

Also, the way the system works is it counts matches reported in (not total reports). So being reported 5 times in a game only classes as 1.

So, if you’ve been actioned, it means you’re getting reported in a lot of your matches.

And if they aren’t being actioned, it could be they’ve said something to you, but not said anything in other games.

Which makes me think your actions might have rubbed them up the wrong way somehow

well i am just assuming that it is a penalty from text chat since the email isnt saying what it directly was. if it may have been cause of voice then it has to be cause ppl thought i was insulting them while i was just cussing at myself since i never took a name in my mouth, only if i tryed to ask for help or so

It’ll be all of the above possibly.

well thanks for letting me know… kinda sucks rn since i was bout to buy the bp. well no bp for me this season then

Good timing. Saved you a little money!

I have never been reported in 8 years but this year. Why? Cause, F2P game result, kids report for anything and everything they dislike. It can be even your skin they don’t like and they report. Blizz doesn’t control if the player deserves a report or not. Blizz doesn’t want us to chat and enjoy the game anymore. They don’t care.

It’s been F2P for nearly 2 years. That won’t be the change.

It might be the systems have learnt what is and isn’t acceptable and are now far quicker to stamp it out.

Could also be that they know they have a healthy player base, so they can be quicker and harsher with punishments and it won’t harm them.

I disagree. As a mercy, boosting a tank or saying ‘waste of time’ in a losing game shouldn’t be a reason for a ban. It is not abusive, or insulting, it is not something it should be argued over either. This is actually what it is in the answer from Blizz after asking them 10 times for why I am being banned. Oh and I also got reported cause I had a ‘devil’ word in my name. Forced to change my name. I find it ridiculous and only kids would report such things. They want us to turn off chat and not communicate. That’s what I did. Their system is broken. And if they want a healthy player base game they should ban swearing and abuse and ones that have inappropriate names.

Personally. I agree.

But others may seem it disruptive, and hence the report. Each to their own. It’s always a line you have to dance if you engage with communication.

Use “push to talk” to avoid this happening in the future. That way people can’t misunderstand you cussing yourself out, because they can’t hear it.

And now, they don’t have a good system. they don’t actually read the chat. they don’t actually watch the replay, honestly, I’m not even sure they actually record the stuff. its entirely based on reports. you get reported 5 games in a row? Perma ban. youre done. pack your bags. Good luck ever talking to an appeal team.

It is far more games than that, and only a perma if you’ve been suspended multiple times before.

So… at that point you should be blaming yourself not the game.
