Reporting for racism

CQ Anarchy··1 votes·714 views

Hi, so I was playing a flex game with my friends the other day, and I got banned for being toxic to them. And I got reported because I was just replying and telling them on their plays and they did not get reported for them being racist and cursing in chinese and english. I just want to know why am I the only one getting banned and not them? If you guys do check the chat log didn't they also get banned? Just to make it clearer, the guys that did not get reported are on the opponents team not my team.

They may have received chat restrictions instead of a ban.

Also you need better friends. People who you want to report after playing with are not good people to keep playing with.

Well I do have great friends and it was the other team that was being racist. Not my team.

Oh alright, that was unclear. Your first sentence said, "I was playing with friends and got banned for being toxic to them."

Using "them" at the end of that sentence makes the reader think you are referring to the previously identified person or persons that were already mentioned in that sentence. Keep this in mind when you are referring to multiple separate groups of people in one sentence.


In that case, how can you be certain that the toxic players were not punished?

Oh my b on that one Im just a boarding student in the states so wasnt fluent with the statement. So, the thing is that when we normally report someone we get a notification, however, I havent received any yet that is why.

No worries, I understood once you replied to me to clarify the point :)

I see, well I don't know if this helps ease your frustration, but I'm here to tell you that the system does not notify you every single time someone you report becomes punished. Here is how the system works:

If a player is punished, only the players who reported them in the punished player's most recent game will be notified of the punishment. Players who reported them in earlier games will not be notified even if their report contributed to the punishment being dealt.

For example, imagine a player who plays 3 games today. In game 1 they are toxic, and you and your teammates all report them. In game 2 they behave normally. And then in game 3 they are toxic again and get reported again. After game 3 the punishment system gets triggered and the player gets punished, and all of the players in game 3 who reported them are notified that the player was punished. You and your teammates from game 1 however, will not be notified because your game was not the game that triggered the punishment.

Long story short, your reports contribute to punishment against toxic players, but you will not be notified when punishment is dealt out unless your report was in the game that triggered the punishment system to evaluate them.

That is incorrect.

Not every report category generates a notification.

Of the report categories that do generate notifications, the rate is set quite low.

When a punishment is issued, and a notification is generated, it goes to the ONE player who's report triggered the IFS to review.

When a player gets reported his chatlogs get checked not those of the others. Likely you got reported and your friends didnt get.
