Reasons for chat bans need to be made clear

As of a few minutes ago, I am chat-limited for 59 games, and I haven't been reported in a few days. I am perplexed, and I would like to know why exactly I have been banned. I swear a lot in game (often times not directly at others), but I don't see this as a reason for getting chat banned--let alone for 59 games. The vast majority of the time, I am a constructive player, but when I am getting trolled by feeders and such, I react and end up getting reported by the aforementioned trolls. I would like to have a system where I could at least see why (hopefully the exact evidence that the tribunal sees) was chat-banned. I feel as though it is not fair to get banned without being informed as to why. I am worried that it is because my connection is poor at my college, and I have DCd and been unable to reconnect for entire games. Poor teamwork is just as toxic as insulting language, but infinitely less avoidable. This needs to be taken in mind when doling out Club Penguin-esque punishments for "big boy words." Also, it is also possible that the system has in place automatic banning for usage of those words deemed to be extra offensive (see: cnt, ngg*r), which is clearly ineffectual as context is wholly ignored. Thanks for reading.

There is no tribunal anymore, it's automatic.

You were chat banned because you were reported for verbal abuse.
