Someone named his account System and typed : You have received a lot of reports recently for more info type /log.
[System] You have received a lot of reports recently for more info type /log.
Which the moment you type /log it auto-completes it by /logout and you cannot come back in the game, you instantly lose with no warning what-so-ever.
I see this isn’t a new issue I saw lots of Reddit posts and forum complains.
I want either a clear confirmation that you’re about to get disconnected.
If I got caught someone else will. I want this fixed.
If you are stupid enough to fall for this, you deserve everything you get

How stupid it might sound to fall for it, OP does have a point that a clear confirmation should be provided to prevent these cases from happening.
Doesn’t change the fact that it happens and this needs to be fixed.
Never said it shouldn’t be added?
I said you had a point, so by correct English definition i agreed with you…
lmao people still pull these stunts?
Well, at least people don’t fall for the Alt+F4 trick anymore…
So while this was a prank that most people are not going to get caught in, the chat shouldn’t allow actions anyway for a base user. That’s not the brightest bit of development. Patch it out, devs.

Who would expect /log to autocomplete to /logout and instantly kicks you without any way of coming back?
This is very not bright from the devs
That double use of Bright at someone the same time, dear that surprised me.
Well i mean when you’re typing /log it already shows you /logout in the autocomplete tab.
You probably don’t type that fast then
I don’t see why you would type it extremely fast knowing it’s a command.
Autocomplete really already shortens the process.
It’s /log command… You expect to have logs why would I type it char by char
Well you would expect that… though note that the user has still a different color in chat, so i don’t see why you would believe it as an system message.
Unless you’re quite new for the game i’d get it.
Sure players can fall for it, it’s a pretty bad trick if i’m completely honest.
Just add the confirmation and let it be over with.
You are clearly defending this issue because your name is SYSTEM and you probably uses this glitch.
Why would you accuse me of this?
How am i defending this issue?
I’m clearly wanting to add in that confirmation, yet you’re accusing me of something… are you trying to pick a fight with me?
Yes I accuse you exactly.
So… why are you doing this?
I’m clearly agreeing with what you want.
I’ve previously explained though i’m not allowed to post about closed threads so i’m leaving that out. Though do note that if you’re going off-topic or decide to pick a fight it’s a clear violation of the Code of Conduct
This particular SYSTEM is actually very helpful on the forums. I’m sure the System you encountered was a different one. As I’m sure you know, multiple accounts can have the same name.
I will give you this, typing /logout in chat to leave the game is something that shoulda been phased out like 10 years ago. Rather surprised to see that / commands work in Overwatch chat at all. Seems like the sorta stuff they would only put in the console.
I’d never expect /logout out of /log you don’t even have to double press enter, just enter automatically changes it to /logout and instantly lose your rank.
Maybe stop accusing people of doing something they didn’t do when they’re trying to help you
