I think this post is an indication that is changing though.
The great philosopher Wittgenstein said:
“Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.”
No its not. Its a warning shot from blizz.
Its all automated.
I don’t agree with that statement though. A ban is a permanent account sanction.

Ok. Thanks for clarifying your stance on a word.

No because a “ban” means you cannot play the game, at all and an appeal wouldn’t matter.
“Suspensions” means you cannot play the game, at all but you can appeal for a shorter suspension timer.
“Silence” means a GM manually applied this to your account, and it exceeds the Squelch timer because you don’t deserve your certain chat privileges but can still play the game, unlike a “ban” and/or “suspension”. You can attempt to appeal your Silence, to get your certain chat privileges back.
“Squelch” is automatically applied, when you reach a certain number of reports and have to wait out the short Squelch timer. Appealing it is pointless because GMs just let the Squelch timer ran out and just don’t apply a Silence, to you.
It’s not cherry picking. You’re providing incorrect information and using fear tactics, on the ignorant and making them think they’ll be banned and never play the game, again, when that’s not true, at all.

If they are interchangeable, why does blizzard have them listed separately on their tos website?

This is false. Please stop spreading misinformation, or provide a legitimate source proving this claim.

You know, with the cross faction thing coming next week, you’ll make a great troll. =)
From personal experience but nothing said will change your mind.
Its all automated.

This is a lot of effort being put in that won’t amount too much. Neat.
Not to be a negative Nancy it’s just a quicker way and more specific way to backlog report people who are so under staffed that they will get around to it “eventually”.
Is that why your name is blizzbanned?
Careful now. You are starting to conform to what you were against which was others being “meany heads”.

So it’s no longer an automated system? No more mass report = automatic ban?
I am not being a meany head. I mean that. You fit right in.
To add: although you don’t have tusks but nothing a little ductape can’t fix.

You’re the one trying to argue that it can be used interchangeably, and I’m saying that’s not true, at all. Blizz uses these certain words, for a reason.
Nobody is getting banned for cussing. You’ll receieve a timeout, but Blizz wants your money, so they’ll forgive you, for cussing.
No one’s getting banned, on a one time offense.
It’s pretty clear I hate the Squelch. I just find your angle in “trying to help people” to be dishonest, when you use a more a fearful word like “ban” instead of “Squelch”, “Silence”, “Suspension”, etc.
I have nothing to worry about because the Squelch is still in the game, and I’ve already figured out how to get around that system. Y’all freaking out over this new Social Contract is hilarious, to me because nothing has really changed.
Squelching is still in the game and hasn’t gone, anywhere.
