Generally, I have been a fan of the automated verbal abuse detection system. I understand the way neural networks work, and reporting gives the net a great training set to detect toxic language. But is the net set up such that it can recognize verbal abuse spread out over many lines of text, such as this?

If not, can this be looked into?

If not, can we have tribunal back? :/ This is obvious to a human, but hard for computers to pick up. I imagine there are other ways of obfuscating stuff from the neural net responsible for moderating toxicity reports.

((Note: last time I posted this, it got deleted because I forgot to scrub the names from the screenshot. My apologies; my intent was not to "bring attention to" the person doing this posting, but to raise a discussion on the possible avoidance of triggering the Verbal Abuse detection system.))

Post-game chat isn't included in the Instant Feedback system's analysis anyway. For this, you should note that a player was abusive in post-game chat to potentially have the chat logs manually reviewed by the Player Behavior team.

There's no way we can have a computer that completely censors swear words, there's always a way to bypass it. You just need to report them and if they keep doing it they get banned.

Have to admit, that was kind of funny.
