You're missing the fact it was already established it didn't improve, the guy's already fired probably from every job he ever had. 

 

You think noticing and pointing out the lacking productivity of a coworker is misconduct? Guess you're a bit of a snowflake. 

 

Heh i have been called unprofessional for repeatedly pointing out deliberate endangerment of the public by 1 specific person at work.

Professionalism seemingly means exclusively focussing on making money and not making waves.

I can see this happening in larger entities, with multiple levels of management. 

 

I was more thinking about a small organization, say 12 people in total :)

 

And I am afraid to ask in response to the above. if you work in the public sector by any chance :Smile_hiding:

Semi-public and yes multiple levels of management indeed.

My previous boss had to do a course on Japanese management style so when i walked  into his office he was supposed to be working on a bit of origami but he was shaking his head instead,  he retired less then 6 months after.

 

We did  have a good laugh about that (the origami bit) but it does make me question the sanity of upper management.

There are arrangements for cases like you describe, klokkenluiders ( sorry forum for dutch term ) are ( supposed to be ) protected by law ( talking about endangering the public ).

 

I can't imagine Japanese management style being effective without Japanese work ethics of the subordinates btw.

No point i cant prove anything and even if i could he could just claim it was accidental.

 

And that japanese management training to my knowledge was stopped because too many considered it a waste of time.

So yesterday I got chatban for one day. I think it was automated caused it was because of "complaints". Why? Because all enemies left caps and went to the line J. With 2 Smolensk having 19 km range. So I typed "what a boring battle" , it was second battle of the day and on first one I didn't say a word. In port I got the chatban message and a guy from enemy team messaging me "not to type rubbish in battle chat".... Ok so saying that it was really boring game was rubbish. Hmm.

Next time maybe I'll get ban saying "have a good weekend" and some Snowflake will get offended cause he'll have to go to work on Saturday... Omg...

Well actually I tend to went salt occasionally and beside sinking karma never had anything else to see as a result so I guess getting a ban aint that easy, might be a cumulative thing though?

Yup. Maybe also - in my case - even if I don't say anything bad - many reports in one battle means chatban. Like for real saying the battle was boring and not saying anything else... I'm not salty nowadays, ignoring and using mute options. Oh and some people are even "mad" about my nick - that the general was crazy post war so how I can have such nick, messaging me after battle. Sigh. :cap_fainting:

I was really really salty in the past. Ok. But now I don't need to say anything salty, I don't need to spam talking with people in battle about smoke mechanic or IFHE on 203mm . Saying anything to the enemy team in my case now - seems like - will effect a chatban.

Is it actually Chatbanning for Reports even if you didnt say anything?

Cause I have not been Chatbanned so far.

And especially as CV I get a Crabton of Negative Karma especially when I win.

 

But I also very rarely use any Harsher Language even if I am Salty.

 

Usually if my Team all gets stuck on an Island and refuses to move. I.ll instead tell the Enemy Team that they should stop wondering why nobody is Fighting them as that Free T-Shirt Giveaway behind our Spawn Island is way more Importand than them.

Just live with chat bans, not perfect but nothing is in this game, I got 7 days, for suggesting politley that a player that refuse to engagement in a game, sat at the back and did received 0 damage or XP and did survive, to go play in co-op until he felt capable of supporting his team.

 

Didn't even bother appelaing to WG, their script reading bots are not worth interacting with !

No, if you haven't used chat and someone throws a bad language complaint at you it's discarded automatically. I'm not even sure it distracts from your karma, I think not :Smile_hiding:

Watch out, if you get reported for giving away information location to enemy team it can have influences ( it's a quite severe offense actually ). Even if you didn't mean it like that, and give a 'generic location' like 'island behind our spawn' it's still an offense people can get sanctioned for. Best to be at the safe side and say 'Sadly my team lost their will to fight when the battle started, they are still looking for it'.

Well tbh once I got a 3 day ban because of that. I got it the next day cause it's not automated...

Hi,

 

... And here, we are speaking about stronger words than "idiot". 

 

 

I have recently divisioned up with someone who clearly knows their ships, their strengths and weaknesses. He gets incredibly wound up by players as described by the OP.

 

Not being a native English speaker, he queried the meaning of "imbecile"

While explaining its meanings, I had a google to find the origins and was greatly amused to find the following.

An idiot is someone with an IQ of 0 - 25
An imbecile has an IQ of 26 - 50
A moron qualifies with an IQ of 51 - 75

 

Use this knowledge wisely :Smile_hiding:

That's normal. Just report other players as well. That way it evens out. It's a PvP game.

Same thing with me.

I get negreps quite a lot. I was at 170 karma, then moved down to 163 and am at something like 168 now?

 

I chat quite a bit though and haven't received a chat ban yet.

Tbf, I have been complaining a lot less ingame compared to maybe a year ago or so. Sometimes I'll mention something on the forums or on twitch, but ingame I don't bother complaining when I see someone do something stupid. I sometimes do stupid things too and starting a salty toxic raging flame war will never get me to do anyone's bidding. So why should I expect this from others? It's so illogical :cap_old:

 

As long as I'm not really bothered by them and can continu doing my own thing, my teammates can be as retarded as a bag of bones for all I care.

Chat ban system its OK!
In my opinion it should be even more strict! 1st time - 3 days, 2nd time - 1 week, 3rd time for one month and if you keep the same behavior it have to be permanent chat ban! You are salfty, insult players often, get a chat ban!
One of my clanmates is extremely salty and insults pretty much every game and dare to say he is chat ban every week!
Such players deserve to be perma chat banned!

Thank you for your explanation Jethro, but as another forum users noticed, there is "or" in the message that we are sending. It's in purpose, as we want to cover the possible different chat rules violations.

@TanatoyAsking because I've received two chat bans over the last couple of months, with the exact same blanket explanation as the OP... I somehow managed three years without any, but it seems like the policy got stricter around this summer.

 

Can you get any number of these? Is it possible to get a harsher penalty such as a play restriction if you get chat banned too much? Or a permanent chat ban? How does it work?

 

No real need to check any chat logs... Some of it is toxic and has no place in the game, or in any other leisure activity for that matter. Likely shouldn't play the usual few games to get the daily containers, if you had a rotten, long day at work.

I got chat banned as well. First time tho.

 

Just because someone reported me too many times, not because I said anything insulting.

 

The system sucks.

That someone were mutiple people, who, for some reason, had the same opinion of your behaviour.

And when you got a three+ day ban: WG employees agreed.

The reason can be total BS and you know it (no need to go into silly reasons of ppl reporting other players)

 

It is a 3 days ban so WG employees have nothing to do with it.

 

Except the ones who created to "bot system" which clearly can be abused quite easily.

 

Karma can be abused as well but nobody cares about that. Being chat banned without the ability to talk to others is quite limiting and you can "achieve" that just by 3 reports from the guy in a division or him telling his team to report which it's enough if few of them do it to get you chat banned for nothing.

As  I said, 3+ includes WG...

Including 3 or more than 3?

 

Because it was exactly 3 days and I'm pretty sure WG wouldn't approve it.

 

And I even think I'm better off without the chat so I'm fine with the ban but that doesn't mean the system sucks.
