Chat ban?!

Ola,

 

Been playing a lot lately, surprise surprise! Having shitloads of fun in my newfound T9's and T10's. Winrates are even fine, and having loads of games with cooperative strangers having fun. I'm having a blast! And then today I wanted to express my joy and received message that I have a chat van till the 6th of April because of harassment, rude behavior etc. 

 

Huhwhat? I have expressed my disappointment at sucky games but this was always directed at the game an sich, not the players personally. The worst might have done is calling someone out on doing nothing in a corner. Is there anyway for me to find out what I have done wrong? Otherwise I'll never learn.

Contact customer support, they might tell you, but do not count on it.

If your first ban is immediately a 3 day ban, then your misbehaviour must have been serious.

Players report others for various reasons.

 

When it happens for X times during X period, you get chat banned.

 

But as far as I know that's only for the 24-hour period. Or at least the legends say so.

 

When it's longer it's usually because someone decided you deserve a chat ban.

 

The problem is that I believe the 'someone' is either a bot or someone who has no clue about anything in game or even social interaction. 

 

I've been chat banned many times. It's been always for 3 days.

 

You'll never receive any explanation for it. I once (a month ago to be more specific) had a WG staff member (not sure if I'm allowed to call him out) promising me he will look into it and give me the reason for the chat ban but that was never done. I reminded him once again and he repeated he will look into it in few days but after that I gave up. My trust in their words/promises has "increased" ever since.

 

That's my experience.

 

But there have been so many threads about it that I don't think this one is really necessary despite your disappointment, even if it's reasonable.

 

 

 

 

 

etc. etc. (just use the forum search and type "forum ban" and you'll get many threads)

Fair enough, I get it. And how do I get to see what I did wrong? Otherwise there is no point as I am not learning from my mistakes right now :'D

Read my revised post. Alternatively, read some of the replies on the other threads.

 

If you need a short answer: you'll most likely never know the reason. You might contact them and ask for it but the chances of getting the reason for your chat ban are slim to none.

Don't worry about chat bans.. mine ends tomorrow... all because I call campers and  idiots..

 

Hell even a TWA got it when he said I was useless because I wouldn't contest a cap against a Moskva and Des Moines with my Yugumo....

 

You get them, they end..... you go back to play your game again until once more you're frustrated by 'Marfona or Wilja'

I got a chat ban but not on forums.I get chat ban by the automated sistem implemented in game,and i get repported just for playing with CV.It does not matter if you actually say bad words,you will get chat banned if you get reported alot.And if you play with cv you get reported from the start of the battle.I tryed to apeal that with a ticket but i just get an autoomates response.I am not the first one to encouter this problem.

What is going on?!?

I got another yesterday... In an absolutely useless team they all melt... So in all chat I put:

 

Dear reds, turn up the heat so my team of Snow Cones melt faster.... thank you.

 

(Ban ends 2145 hrs tonight)... reason for ban 'By Complaints'

 

@JohnD0e appeals are a waste of time ... So many players way toooooooo sensitive and boy do they trigger so easily..

People will report CV players simply for playing CVs, and they will probably use the "Misbehaviour In Chat" report as this will probably result in something happening (a chat ban) rather than a player just having low karma. This is mean and stupid, of course, but if you think you are being targeted, just don't post any chat messages, as it seems likely that the auto system looks to see if you did before deciding on a ban.

Very unlikely. No chat - no ban.

No mate I am not.... But, you weren't in that game... and it seems that the children don't like being called out for being total morons.... and mostly it was a failure of the premium ship owners... Massa, Thunderer, Smols etc etc... if fact 2/3rds of my team were prem ships...

An insult is an insult. Does not matter if it is true.

in the military you learn to salute the uniform, or more precisely the gold braids when they are more numerous than on your own uniform...

 

in WG games, the worst offense is to offend paying customers in their pay to win premium ships with pay to win premium captains. WG games are like the military, respect the premium or face the music !

 

P.S.

Sitting on a 10 day chatban myself right now. I behaved for several weeks, but WG matchmaking caused me to call my team the R-word a couple of times. Oh well. I wonder when they will learn their lesson.

I got reported today in operations for asking a player to re-position to avoid getting killed. In this exact words. By a whole division. I let him die in peace after that to avoid getting a ban. You have to be extra careful these days haha :D

I get reported quite a lot, even for the most trivial things. I know because I often lose karma without getting a chat ban.

 

Arguing with these people will never work, so just ignore them. If they are getting obnoxious, block them so their chatrage won't litter your GUI anymore and be done with it :Smile-_tongue:

You can always ask @MrConway @Tanatoy so they can look it up for you. 

But it may take a while for them to look into it. 

and I guess, @Palubarac your request fell into the cracks.. 

you know, diluted staff, most people trying to work from home.. 

Anyway, by this instance, I guess I made a reminder for the bosses! 

 

But @Rigidigidy
all the cases we've seen, people tend to forget what they've done or said in the heat of the moment! 

Remember, this is a Pegi 7 game and forum, and you don't need to be insulting someone directly, Most of the time, common swear words can trigger the system.
