There needs to be equal action against players who just randomly report people to disrupt their game

banned for something

Misuse of the report system.

@Zoumz-zuljin

unbanned because he’s a streamer right after­.

Can’t speak to this…but likely.

It happened to me on the forums some time ago. I’m not gonna explain what I was doing but they caught me.

You forget that mass report is just a “not automated system” that just “automates” you off line and silences you. Reviewing which of those actually are real or not takes a person which requires a pay check which means it isn’t happening in this game. Unless maybe some time in the far far future, years lets say, you get banned for something from like 2018 in 2026.

They don’t care about moderating the game. They just use automated systems to keep super “gamer” words that could be put in new feeds showing they let it happen in there game. Or some sort of automated warden software that IDs the absolute worse bots and players though repetition of repeated offenses that gives people a couple weeks off.

At this point its probably just best to get used to it.

Blizzard has never claimed there isn’t an automatic chat mute. To the contrary, they somewhat frequently talk about it on the CS forum:

@Vrakthris

The only automatic action that will result if they continue to receive reports is that they may be temporarily squelched while related reports are reviewed. That squelch can last 24 hours and can be appealed. If chat is found by a Game Master that violates our policies further action may be taken which can include a temporary silence or suspension from the game.

I am glad you confirmed my statement. The can be appealed part is the interesting bit. It can be. But turn around on tickets is often 72+ hours. With a 24 hour squelch you see how its often that time simply runs out before any appeal actually happens.

I am glad you confirmed my statement.

Your post I responded to implied you believe the system for squelches and bans/suspensions is the same. Players can squelch (mute) each other with enough unique reports. Players cannot ban other players.
