As someone who is chronically chat restricted:

Incognonymous··1 votes·250 views

It's only a minor inconvenience. It hasn't stopped me from calling feeding pieces of shit who intentionally ruin the game just that. Chat restriction is not a solution. Punishing those who go out of their way to ruin a game for nine other people just might though. This automated bullshit so that player moderation can fellate themselves is disgusting and only a fascist bootlicker would even pretend it's a reasonable solution.

So you would agree that a permanent ban is an appropriate punishment for those who are habitually toxic through chat?

Of course not. 100% of toxicity, every last bit of it, is easily countered with the mute button. My point was address the cause of toxicity. I've never raged at someone who didn't deserve it.

But the cause is usually a lack of maturity and/or respect for other people. Somebody being a troll or toxic doesn't excuse retaliation.

No, but retaliation is at least understandable. Intentionally trolling isn't. Frustration that the punishment for it is worse than what spawns is a running gag on boards, isn't it? The only effective report is offensive language.

Repeated chat restrictions don't really exist anymore. Punishments escalate for repeated offenses in a standard order:

  1. 10 game chat restriction
  2. 25 game chat restriction
  3. 14 day ban
  4. Permanent ban.

Punishments may not stop you, but you raging at someone for feeding isn't going to stop them either. So you might as well stop bringing everyone down.
