Is the Tribunal down?

For the past about ~36hours i have had games with some VERY toxic players saying VERY homophobic, racist, and many other vulgar terms i cannot repeat. I reported them of course but im curious because sometimes i get a message "a player has been punished" and in the past 36hours this has not happened. This is not the ONLY reason i ask if tribunal is down, the 2nd reason is because in the past ~36hrs ive been in games with more than the normal amount of VERY abusive players, just curious if they know that its down and are taking advantage of this.

The Tribunal doesn't even exist right now. It hasn't properly existed for a couple years now, I don't think.

Chat-based offenses are handled by the automated Instant Feedback System, which detects toxicity using what was decided on by both Tribunal records and common human decency.

Which is funny because the Terms of Use still talk about the Tribunal.

No, the automatic system is still functional. You only get the message if your report was one of the ones that immediately triggered a ban.

I have seen a lot more toxicity in the past day or two, figured it was just an unlucky streak.

Tribunal has been up, it's being run by the Behavioral specialists with the consideration of reports being the community input. If, however, this person was not banned, then it's because it is considered acceptable according to community standards.
