Permaban due to abusive language - account lost forever?

I try very hard to avoid this. The Battlenet level is the ‘account’ - designated by an email.

All games within are licenses, a single Battlenet can hold up to eight WoW licenses.

Now, that aside. USUALLY actions are on the license level. Battlenet accounts certainly CAN be banned - and for offenses egregious enough, they are. But that isn’t common.

I’m looking through this last set of reports. I’m afraid there are reports here that we just aren’t going to give a pass on. Profanity is prohibited - and when it’s repeatedly yelled…yeah, that’s even worse.

The very last thing we ever want to do is action a player. It is our hope that by increasing sanctions players will learn not to repeat that behavior.

Since 2018 you’ve had 6 silences and 3 suspensions on this license. Penalties do escalate until - unfortunately - they can end in a ban if behavior is repeated. Those were you chances and grace to bring your behavior into line with our code of conduct.
