So what exactly is the logic behind this automated chat ban system? I understand in the perfect world where everyone is nice...there would be no need for such system..All I did was ask the enemy team why they are running and not capping/supporting their teams and BAM CHAT BAN FOR A DAY? The worst part now I can't talk in division chat or clan chat. Time to spam ping the map and cause more troubles. /rant done.

I really don't get why it is connected to port chats like clan and division chat. I mean if it is so that they can't harass players you have the mute/blacklist button for that. It is incredibly dumb that you can't talk to your friends ingame because some guys reported you because you clear skied his CV or something. The current system is way too abusable which makes the punishment far more unreasonable.

I gave up already .. Log in, start game, see your DD sail around the map to kill a CV two tiers lower, you tell him to please go for the caps becasue what hes doing is useless, he replays "stfu fa**ot noob" and before you type your response, poof, chatbanned, while he keeps doing his bullsht. 

 

Working as intended.

if you see a 3-man division never say anything. Pretty sure 3 reports is enough to get you banned for anything

Best not to talk to any of the more special inmates.

 

As I've said in game, if someone needs it explaining then they're beyond help anyway. Most folk you tell will act arrogantly about being told a course of action that's actually intelligent. 

 

These are the same people who will sail into 10 of your torps that you've lazily launched at the white target marker...

Judging by how easy people seem to be getting chat banned, I should have been chat banned like 100s of times by now.

I can go on pretty epic rants in some battles, yet I've never once been chat banned.

I had a rough time a few months ago and used the F-word, S-word, R-word and C-word frequently for a few days :Smile_hiding:. No chatban, but my karma went up :cap_wander: Maybe i just said what others were thinking too, dunno...

 

But in general i try to be polite :Smile_child:

Your friends should get Teamspeak/Discord so they don't need ingame chats :cap_popcorn:

 

We do use discord. But the fact you can't talk to teammates.

I would think that with the limited number of reports/compliments each player gets per day you may just have been lucky and the reports were all used up for that day.

Yupyup, and that's exactly why I use Discord... Excellent way to keep up with the lads and no bans. Though it kinda leaves the rest of the team out cold, but you can't have everything. I only use team chat occasionally and mostly only after I am dead already and never to address the other team. No point in drawing someone's ire on yourself for no good reason now is there?:fish_cute_2:

 

Still... Youth, idealism and innocence eh, P2Win my friend? Just keep in mind that there is always some bitter, seething syphilit*c bast*rd out there just waiting for an opportunity to take his frustrations out on anyone, so don't point them your way (just giggle silently and enjoy your win instead). :cap_old:

The only purpose of having that automated system is that bad players can compensate themselves by reporting and get good players chatbanned for their excellent game performance or just trying to give verbal lessons to the mentioned bad players.

Same here, just that I got banned once, but in that battle I didn't even say something that bad.

Absolutely the most broken part of WOWS without a doubt

 

The system in Rocket League works better - if you get reported for chat it looks for "banned words" on a list and if it finds them you get banned from the game for 24hrs, then 72hrs, then permanently

 

I was just in a game with the usual cruiser who died 2 minutes in slating everyone

I asked him to shut up

He called me a "c*nt" told me he hopes my family die, then he spam reported me for chat and I get banned from chat for 24hrs.

He then spent 10 more minutes swearing at me and throwing abuse in chat while I carried on playing.


Such a brilliant system! Doesn't stop any abuse and stops genuine players from communicating in clan battles.

Plus if WG introduced something similar they could then spend staff time on stuff like this:

The only few times I've been chat banned was when I tried to tell teammates that they should please go do something useful (aka please go take that cap, please don't go CV sniping and so on).

 

I've never been chat banned for doing something akin to this (please note that this is NSFW for excessive swearing):

Spoiler

EDIT

and I do it rather often.

 

10/10 working as intended.

I've been chat banned 6 times -  it's so much fun

 

This guy even told me he was going to report me enough to ban me - then threw abuse at me while I couldn't reply

 

Still I'm sure chat in WOWS isn't an issue...

Goes to show how it works. Ship cuts me off, dude calls me an [edited], i cant play, no wonder im "red" he says. Then I tell him to "politely [edited]off" and I say that my ship cant turn as fast cause im a BB while he threw his cruiser in front of me. "result" I get a chat ban for a day. Logic?

 

Mind you I havn't played for months sure wonder why I stopped playing....

Abuse every BB player on both sides continuously for 10,000 game on the EU and NA servers. Kama zero but never been chat banned. I suspect you guys are not being entirely honest about your behaviour in chat.

People find trash talking annoying, by your behaviour on the forums I can't say that I'm surprised the enemy team reported it as odds are you were thoroughly rude, you come across as obnoxious on the forums and I'd not be shocked if you're the same in the game.

 

Doubly so since you've declared the intention to spam map pings to annoy people on the teams you get in. Is there anything that can be done to make the block player function also block F keys and map ping spam @MrConway, @Tuccy ?

I saw a while back you said you would see if that could be looked into and the map ping and F key spamming chat banned people are just as "unsportsmanlike" as the *edit that refuse to play to spite their teams.
