Playing in shadowbanned cheater lobbies for weeks
Getting real tired of Activison - I have a "Ban inquiry" ticket open since the 6th of April and I got kicked from a game + received a notification because of a "text chat infringement" that is under review. I don't even use text chat, and when I do, it's nothing more than "you suck" or "stop camping ***", the most light-hearted trash talk you see in COD.

I digress, been playing in these lobbies now with 2+ hackers every single game for weeks and apparently normal ♥♥♥♥ talk will get you in lobbies with hackers and other players who have no idea why they're here. Can't open a new ticket because it will "close [your] previous tickets and ... get pushed to the end of the queue."

yeah same here. I'm on a 14 day comm-ban but people just have to un-mute me for chat to be available. I'm not playing with cheaters, just people who can't check a scoreboard to speak to their team in ranked play. I have played people who were questionable but I think everyone has that thought. I think it has more to do with either you win the server lag lottery or you lose.

its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid. it has nothing to do with what you're doing, the only thing that matters is people report you because they don't like you. my wife got a warning 2 days ago for her name because we were playing in cheater lobbies together. her ign is "Pixel" that she now changed. she never even speaks in lobbies because people say a lot more than "you suck ♥♥♥♥♥" when they hear a female voice

Yeah it's quite sad that a bit of in game banter these days is treated as harshly as cheating. R6: Siege is straight up banning players permanently for toxicity. Do people get that butthurt they feel the need to report someone instead of just blocking their mic/chat, which - gasp! - has been standard method of dealing with toxicity in games for years? I guess so.

I grew up when being ridiculed was a right of passage and It's damn near impossible to offend me. But your saying that people should not use the chat feature because other people are being toxic. That's about as ass backwards an idea you could have. I'm talking about real toxicity which is not that hard to find online.
I certainly will agree a big part of the problem is what people view as toxic anymore. Too many Karens screaming at the clouds for no reason only muddies the waters.

I also got those warnings, and I'm not able to find the match anymore, my ping goes up to 200 and that's how it stands.
I thought I was shadowban for some reason?
I stand by the fact that I have never used a single cheat, this can also be said by my Steam account which has not had a single game ban that I have been using for more than 15 years...

On you i see shadow bans work.
You are a player i dont want have in my lobby.

People who complain about toxicity on the internet are pretty entitled. You have mute/block buttons at your disposal at all times, not my fault you're playing a competitive shooter expecting sunshine and rainbows.

The more you play the longer you'll be stuck in there.

I'm not saying people shouldn't use the chat function, I'm saying they should mute offending players.

Mordhau had a long problem of racism and general toxicity in the chat and they did the best thing they could have ever done; just give players mute buttons or the option to turn everything someone says into cheerful gibberish, so they don't waste time and resources chasing a pointless problem: people will always be toxic in online games.
