Blizzard manually overturned the ban within an hour, because like most bans in the game it was undeserved and caused by a broken AI moderation system. This is just the reality of the crooked system of modern overwatch, everyone who uses chat enough will get false banned eventually, if you are a streamer it will be overturned, if you are not then you have to appeal to a customer support chatbot that is hard coded to never grant any appeals
Blizzard overturning the ban is basically them flat out admitting the report system is broken, but there are still people who will ignore the evidence right in front of their eyes

i wish theyâd overturn bans for people that arenât popular CCs and those with big followings.
overturned this guyâs almost immediately because heâs popular, but all the people that had this happen that are just regular players have to just deal with it sticking permanently no matter what they do.

I want them to tell us why he was banned and why they think it was undeserved. Sucks for the rest of us who arenât rulebreakers

Not most bans.
There has been a slight increase in ban overturns recently, but most still are not.
Letâs not latch onto confirmation bias because it feels good.

A person gets falsely reported because players (not the system itself) were being vindictive, and then promptly unbanned because they appealed and they couldnât find any evidence.
This sounds like due process, howeverâŚ
I do agree we should be asking the question: âIs this treatment the same for all?â
If they were not ex OWL, would they have been seen to so promptly? Would the outcome have been the same?
If the answer to either of those is ânoâ, then the system has serious faults that need to be addressed.

Letâs not forget that there are many @-****s out there who rightfully deserve getting banned for excessive toxicity, but they always feign innocence after the ban hammer drops. AI isnât quite there yet for making intelligent ban reversals, but on the flip side, layoffs inflate profits for share holders.

This is actually a good point. We donât know what went on between CS and Proper. And we have no way to tell what % of bans get overturned by CS because weâre not given any statistics.
Properâs ban was for conduct. Now, they may have reviewed the chat logs and thought âa ban was a bit much.â And let him off with a caution or a chat silence instead. We donât know.
This means anything we discuss here is purely conjecture.

Thatâs not correct. Actually, 87% of facts are made up according to the facts I just made up.

Well, the fact that I made up that fact raised the fact of made up facts to 94.444%. Repeating, of course. And thatâs a fact.

Inherently broken report system needs to be reworked.

Nuh uh nobody lies on the internet
bit ironic to find you saying this after the point you just made a few hours ago 
My suspension was declared overturned by a game master and I am still suspended. Dude said âyeah, you didnât do anything to warrant a suspension. Let me overturn this.â and then didnât do that.
Blizzard went far beyond laughable. They have drilled into the depths of sad. Just terribly, terribly sad.
