Chatbans and you.

How often are you chatbanned?   

145 members have voted

  1. 1. How often are you chatbanned?

    • Never! If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.
      59
    • It happens rarely, once or twice a year, a few days or at most weeks per year.
      37
    • Once every couple of months for a week or so.
      18
    • Every month, quite often.
      11
    • When am I NOT chatbanned?
      20
  2. 2. Of those that picked options 1 (never) or 2 (rarely), do you regularly communicate using text in games?

    • Almost every game when there's something to say to add and I'm not on a voice chat with the majority of players.
      23
    • Now and then, at least every couple of games.
      25
    • Rarely if ever. If I'm communicating I stick to pings and chat commands.

Thats incompetence on a whole new level. :cap_wander:

The joke here is that I indeed said bad things earlier (at least I am pretty sure I did) but despite opening/forwarding like 3 tickets I never got in touch with a human at the customer support, that could actually provide logs why I have been chatbanned. It was always an automated response, picking my last chat interaction (gl hf) as a reason and then it closed the ticket.

 

The more you know.

Hi all,

 

I was ChatBanned just once two years ago for few days... and I even think I didn't use very prohibited words either... I was enraged by DIV performance (and that must have been it - multiple report from same DIV)... :Smile_hiding:

I got a stern talking to after asking someone if he came from a Jungle and was kicked out of his tree.  It was airship escort and our Shimakaze was sailing around in J1.  

It is only when i play ranked that i find myself chat banned after seeing my dds suicide.

I used to be chat banned once per month. Well, only once per month because my default chat ban is 3 weeks if it's from the support. The automated chat ban is 3 days. But because I don't play much anymore for about a year now, I got very few times chat bans in the last 12 months, mainly because I play 1-2 games and then I'm already so fed up that I log out again. There is zero fun left in this game for a solo player, even wins suck big time and add to the frustration.

Most of the chat bans were not even for being very offensive or insulting. I'm not someone who runs around and wishes others to die to cancer or in a fire. I just tell people that they are really bad at the game and they should play low tiers to get some experience, because I'd rather have a afk bot in my team instead of them. But potatoes being potatoes, they feel triggered by the truth and have the urge to report for chat abuse.

Chose never, even if I did get chat banned, but only once. That time, I suppose it was for typing that weekend is almost over so underwater ping generators should consider returning to their respective institutions. There is something off in a way subs are implemented, as folks are getting better with them, don't think its by chance alone. Other surface ships, even CVs ‘interactions’ I can manage, subs-no.

I occasionally drink a little too much, and get a little over-animated at low quality teammates.

 

It would be nice if the chatbans listed exactly what I said, because half the time I can't remember!   

 

I do try to be better.  Doesn't 100% work though. 

Better quality insults? Kudos man, you take the will to improve to the next level! :Smile_trollface:

With todays neanderthal player base, you simply haven't lived until you've had your first chat ban.

 

By the time you've reached your 10 to 12th chat ban, you're seen as a master and will be considered for a seat at the high council.

 

Thirty + chat bans? Heard stories about this one person, but no one has really seen them though. Might just be a fanciful myth but we all need our heroes, right?

I personally know someone who got chatbanned while being chatbanned. Since he couldn't verbally grill people, he kept pinging them hard which in turn earned him an extension.

I don' think I've been chat banned in WoWs.  However, WoT is another thing - I was chat banned a few times there (once in battle I responded to someone and there were a couple of WoT employees in the battle).

Got banned every now and then for excessive cursing and usage of derogatory remarks, usually in team chat.

 

However after I started looking up players after a match more often (I do not use mods of any kind) I seem to have noticed a brutal influx of players with low battle count (below 1000 and often even below 500 battles) during the last couple of weeks or so, and I therefore mostly stopped calling people out.

 

No use calling a n00b a n00b.

Just to interject here as the OP. To all of you who voted for option one or two : Do you regularly communicate using text or not? 


Added a new poll question.


It would be interesting to get your views on why and how you communicate and if you find it effective when you do, using what ever methods you use.

Ifi you avoid communicating using text, why do you avoid it?

I get chatbaned a lot.

 

I am not toxic. I just call out 1d107$.

 

The:

- suiciders

- throwers

- trolls

...

 

I don't insult besides the I word and occasional "Muppets, Potatoes or noobs", but I guess that is enough for a week of timeout.

Yes.

Up to Sept 2022 I posted over 70k chat messages since I started playing wows.

Nice.
How did you get your chatlog? It's interesting:Smile_amazed:

WG has to give customers all information about personal data they have on the customer by EU law, if the customer asks them to.

To my surprise WG saves all chat messages ever made in game, which means I can look up what I wrote back in 2015...

Nice. However I can't vote. I think coz I already voted?

 

On the other hand HOW one can be not mad at such display of gibbon play???

20230202_203123_PBSC108-Edinburgh_r01_military_navigation.wowsreplay

 

Look at that ..........hkhmm.......ummm....... bright example of...  khmm......play. Yes, I'm talking about a Cv The mindlessness is mindboggling. He left me alone, provided no help, and  failed to sink a 10% HP Balti in THREE fukkin strikes. Because of him, we lost. So not only he brings a fun removing and thoroughly dishonest class , he plays like crap. 

 

How can one be not mad at such level of idiocy?? But muh muh "Cv's are fine and balanced" and what the F not. What I would have wrote to him after the battle would have merited me another severe chatban.

Haven’t been chat banned and I do use in game chat a fair bit. 
 

It probably helps I deal with rather challenging people in my work so nothing in this game (save one forumite) could ever remotely bother me.

I remember making BBs screaming in chat in old pre-nerf Khaba :) It was the most fun to be had in this game. Especially since people were much worse at aiming at DDs back then, and alot of BBs didnt even shoot DDs

I'm not chatbanned often despite (?) using the chat quite often.

It helps to not be toxic and actually try to help people - not that it matters much (providing help) as most seem to not want to learn / get better.
