Auto ban needs to stop!

[Mirasol-mannoroth (Mirasol)]

Ok, then don’t. You can think what you want. Blizzard has been pretty clear what is, and what is not, automated right now. See below - for CS forum link and discussion. It clarifies what is automated (squelch) and what is not (Silence, Suspension, etc.) Also yes, bot ban waves do use a detection algorithm.

I’m tempted to delete the post but if i do that, then we dont end up addressing false flag bans. It’s important that this is raised because if its an automated system, I probably am not the first and I certainly won’t be the last.

Just for clarification, this action was in no means automatic nor was it the result of a bunch of false reports. While we certainly do have some automatic systems, they are mostly around botting/exploitation maintained by our hacks team. The other system is our squelch system around spam reports.
