Ever wander why Blizzard does tuning after a AWC pvp tournament? They tune and base the classes off the .01%. Would explain why Blizzard devs and their friends guilds tune the mythic raids for their world first tournaments, then nerf it all down so the player base can play the content.
I dont know the full OPs story since I was not there, but I would not be surprised that if a big streamer says he dislikes a player, complains to “friends” and things happen.
First thing, posting here does nothing for you unless you are looking for sympathy from others, but you probably will not get it.
Unless the whole chat was in that BG they would not have been able to report you unless you had a conversation with them elsewhere in the game.
If they sent you whispers and you responded they could report you from there.
The reports are reviewed.
If you were mass reported unjustly, they will see that and remove your silence.
They will also retaliate against those that mass reported you because they can see that too.
If you were justifiably reported, you will be silenced for a short term.
If you do it multiple times, you will eventually see a ban.
According to blizzzard, this is not extremely mild. You were silenced because of your series of counter attacks.
Ok this is enough to get the silence no matter who reported you.
And if they see you said what you claim to have said then you will still be silenced.
Not sayin its right but the moderation isnt what it used ot be. Its heavy now.
There is a difference between doing nothing wrong and getting mass reported because of a streamers chat and doing something that is clearly against the tos and getting mass reported. This is not the former
