Is it bannable to say "I'm just going to mute you all"

ManBearPig916·Aug 30, 2016·2 votes·797 views

I am not willing to accept a permaban, and I can GUARANTEE more bullying will show up when my 2 week suspension is over.

if I begin to read inflammatory things and want to mute everyone in the game, can I tell them and is that lawful, or is that against the rules to say "I'm muting everyone."

Or is it best to not let them know they're muted. However, in that case, they can give me instructions that I won't read, and they won't know that I didn't read it.

I need to know, for real.

When I get unbanned, I'll probably mute all on all my games for the next 3 months at least until I'm 1 tier down.

I am confident some of my games will be terrible, my teammates will tell me things, and I'll hear none of it.

I thought refusal to communicate is bannable, so I need to know what to do. Can I go mute all game, have a poor performance, not respond to any of my teammates messages (cause they're muted) and avoid the permaban?

This is assuming /mute all actually works lol (my friend says that's broken sometimes, and I have to hit tab and click each speaker symbol until all 9 are checked for mute)

lol, one of my recent reported games from my previous punishment occurred when I could not get the mute function to work. Just saying, I should not have been punished for that game.

Once you've gotten to the point of a 14 day ban, any further reports can get you banned completely regardless of whether they are valid or not. You have to do everything you can to NOT get reported, so its probably best to not tell people you are muting them.

Refusal to communicate is not banable. It never was. Like Unskilled player, it used to be in report options 2 years ago as placebo option to calm raging kids who cant handle defeat.

Well, what if I mute them all game, I have a bad game, and some jerk convinces the both teams behind my back that I intentionally fed when I didn't. I wouldn't even know about these chats and I wouldn't defend myself.

you're best off to just mute them and not saying anything.

If you feel the need to mute, just mute. Why need to say more?

Although it is recommended to mute without telling them, you will not be punished for saying "I mute everyone in my games" at the beginning of your game
