One of my friends got a 14 day ban like almost 2 years ago. They're worried that they could get perma banned but they haven't gotten a ban or warning to chat restriction since. I told them I think the punishment goes down over time with games played but I'm not really sure lol.
KVbqbFsC8e1 votesIt does go down, supposedly every 3 months without a punishment. And if he were banned 2 years ago that was likely before they used the current tiered punishment system anyway. He'd have to go through 10/25 chat restrictions and another 14 day ban before a perma, barring some sort of manually reviewed punishment that was considered permaworthy.
Finn Teh Human1 votesThank you!
Deep Terror Nami4 votesHe's giving some misinformation there. As in the link Magical Player shared, the punishment tier goes down depending on the player's behavior as they play games, not automatically every 3 months (3 months is just an average that most players take for this to happen).
For being permabanned, he doesn't have to be manually reviewed for that either; if the behavior is severe enough (such as repeated use of racial slurs) the Instant Feedback System can indeed issue an escalated punishment, up to and including a permaban.
KVbqbFsC8e1 votesThe link also claims that the automated system is a "machine learning system" and isn't "keyword based". But clearly everything within it must be true. Hah.
Deep Terror Nami4 votesSeeing as the one that writes the code for it said it, yeah. If you are just going to call the professionals that know what they are talking about liars, there is no reason to expect anything but conspiracy theories from you.
KVbqbFsC8e1 votesIts actually just Tantrum copy/pasting the same bullshit Lyte used to talk about.
AeroWaffle2 votesI copy/pasted what Tantrum said into google and he was the only one that popped up. Besides, you disbelieve the statement because it's similar to what Lyte said? Why? Lyte also had a large amount of influence in the system so he too would have a better idea of how it functioned than the common player would.
KVbqbFsC8e1 votesI disbelieve that statement because it is blatantly false. Saying that the automated system isn't "keyword based" is laughable.
AeroWaffle2 votesIt's probably the best way to describe what a complex machine learning algorithm uses (or in this case, doesn't use) to a common non-programmer. Machine learning, especially neural nets, doesn't make a decision based on any one thing, but several factors after being fine tuned from a large amount of sample data.
"keyword based" implies there's a dictionary of phrases and words decided at one time and saved that immediately flag the account regardless of what was said around it.
