its not easy to get banned and you dont get banned for banter,as long as you dont tell tell people to kill themselves or spend half the game typing you wont get banned, if you got banned its not because people are "sensitive" its because people shouldnt have to deal with someone throwing a little baby temper tantrum when theyre playing a game
While a fair amount of this is true and fairly agreeable, I feel it necessary to kind of explain a few things further.
...and you dont get banned for banter...
For whatever reason, there's a misconception (don't know how large of a misconception, but I know it exists) where people seem to think that banter is synonymous with toxicity. Either, that, or they're using "banter" as a catch-all excuse for them being an asshole.
What people need to realize is that banter is actually antonymous with toxicity, the definition of it literally being:
Banter noun
- the playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks.
verb
- talk or exchange remarks in a good-humored teasing way.
I put the most important parts in boldface. "Playful and friendly", "teasing", "good-humored". This means that stuff like "you suck go uninstall" is not banter, while something like "nice flash lol" is.
So, while it is absolutely true that you don't get banned for banter, people need to actually know what banter is before they start throwing the term around.
...or spend half the game typing you wont get banned...
This, I think, is a misconception as well. I frequent the PB boards and have seen all manner of chat logs, and I've never really seen chat log length be a notable factor in a punishment. I'd argue that it's more correlation of larger chat logs to higher density of toxicity and consequently better grounds for punishment than anything else.
That said, it still goes without saying; don't spam the chat, and do try to keep more focused on the game than chatting.
Other than those two things and some small issues of wording, this is pretty much solid.
Just here to confirm, this is true. I've been 14 day'd twice, once for hate speech, so I understand that. The next was a series of two games where I was one of the most toxic motherhyuckers. It's a fair system, 10/10 would be banned by them again
False. You can get perma'd just for telling someone their trash, or even making fun of their rank.
Edit: Downvoted for telling truth LUL

For the most part,yes. I wouldn't even get reported,ergo banned if they learned to not take flame from an online stranger seriously/offensively. So it's pretty obvious that's its because they are sensitive,otherwise they wouldn't have reported me. That makes more sense...

Use the mute button. Problem solved.
I suspect you want to throw a little baby temper tantrum and report/punish people for their words despite the problem being solved?
Wrong. I just got chat restricted for telling my team to report a smurf who afked/inted/verbal abused me while he got off scot free.
Click my name to find the post of chat log.
This system is backwards.
That's very true, I usually avoid talking in chat cause I didn't want to get banned, or restricted and lose rewards, the past couple of days I've been using it to banter, and even though I did flame a bit (nothing too serious, I told our lucian to "farm the fucking jungle, all you're good for", I didn't get a punishment, I'm assuming it's because it's uncommon for me to flame. But yea I think the system is pretty fair, even though it's a bit ambiguous.
That isn't true.
You can spend less than %5 percent of the game telling people they are garbage, sarcastically telling them "Nice play!" after they int another death, ask how much they paid for there account, etc. and get a perma ban.
It doesn't require hate speech and doesn't require spending anything close to half the game typing. Banter will get you banned
Yes
