[-OOF-] VeryHonarbrah Players 386 posts 15,529 battles Report post #1 Posted August 1, 2019 Over the past few weeks, it seems like there has been a massive increase in chat bans across the board. Clan mates, friends, discord members, streamers, everyone seems to be getting chat banned for almost no reason. I got people in the clan who dont even swear unless they are in private voice coms who are getting chat banned regularly. People who dont even speak in chat at all getting chat banned. People getting chat banned when they have not even been playing the game, or getting chat bans randomly when they afk in port and not played for a while or receiving them in the middle of the night. What is going on? Some new bots just going through and doing blanket bans ect? Have not seen a chat mod in port chats for years, BigBadVuk was the last chat mod i have seen, that must have been 3 years ago now. 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-SBG-] ColonelPete Players 38,559 posts 19,178 battles Report post #3 Posted August 1, 2019 Funny thing, I know of no player in our 40 player clan who got a chat ban recently. And I never got one myself and I use chat in most battles... And you cannot get chat banned while not using chat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semiGM ∞ Players 731 posts 8,077 battles Report post #8 Posted August 1, 2019 I have no problem with WG making a stricter chat ban policy. Overall I suppose that people playing more often get rather chatbanned than people playing rarely because automatic systems especially counts reports per time? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woof_for_Me Players 147 posts 348 battles Report post #13 Posted August 1, 2019 Hello. A week ago i was called a st***d b**** by a player who was on the enemy team and he did it repeatedly during the match which he also lost. Right after i met him in the next match on my team where he began again but said sorry after we won. I don't believe he got banned for that. Maybe a certain amount of reports needs to be reached which accumulate over time and don't vanish. With the quality of games lately being a bit worse than usual the amount of people venting might have increased which leads to the increase in chatbans.

mtm78 Alpha Tester 19,378 posts 6,105 battles Report post #17 Posted August 1, 2019 I mean @Egoleter keeps telling me I can't demand the playerbase to not suck, but it is really hard ya know In seriousness though, the automated report system is still open to coordinated abuse. I mean, count in with multiple divisions and report people for bad language an mass ( and then pm then asking if they are chat banned ofc... ). Spoiler edit: minutes in, no one has corrected me, you're letting me down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
