What is the point of having a profanity filter if you’re just going to chat ban anyway regardless. If people turn of their profanity filter and “report” someone for abusive chat because they can’t handle profanity - I think that is backwards.
I turn off profanity filter and expect the language that comes with it.
I only report abusive chat when the chat is abusive regardless of profanity used.
Because the filtered words illustrate profanity.
No, actually it filters it. That’s why it’s called a “filter”.
There is a huge difference between saying certain things.
I’ve never seen someone reported for the first one. It usually is the last one.

That’s my point. Also, chat reports should include the offending chat log to be fair to all sides.
So your point is that people shouldn’t be punished by telling their teammates off.

That’s a fine line isn’t it? It would be filtered. And with the profanity filter enabled, it is reasonable to expect it to be filtered but should it be reportable? How bout “F**k off” is that reportable?
Anything you say with the intent of offending your teammates is considered abusive chat and can be reported.
Then why have a filter?
profanity and abuse are NOT mutually inclusive
But he said anything the other players consider abusive. I could say “F**k our widow sucks” and that would offend someone. Or I could also say “our widow sucks”. Can both be reported?
Well “Our widow sucks,” would be the important part of that sentence.
“Holy F*ck our widow is killing it,”
would be my example, as a counterpoint.
Why say something like “Our Widow sucks”?
Is it gonna make the Widow become Linkzr?
Rule one of comms is not tilt your fellow teammates.
That’s pretty funny. Try picking Bastion or Symmetra in comp in non-meta gameplay. See how many people follow your “rules”. In any regard, that’s going off tangent.
To more directly answer your question, I don’t know, telling somebody they suck might be objectively true, saying it in exasperation imo is hurtful but not abusive, saying it to be purposefully hurtful is.
I don’t even want to wade in any further than that…
People may have a different view on that, and they’re allowed to report whatever they want. It’s up to the system what’s counted as abuse and what’s not
Yes… Its not that hard to understand
yes, of course, I was stating my feelings as a human being, rather than trying to interpret the tos
Some people don’t want to read the trash people spew on their way out the door.
They may be “punished” for it. It doesn’t mean people still want to look at it.
Words affect different people differently. It’s an option, so why care.
