Permanent ban for offensive language in chat.

[Roberto]

Hi folks, I've read the article about the banning system and how you can get 24 hours, 72 hours, 1 day, 1 week and then permanent ban if you keep insulting players over chat.

But don't you think permanent ban is a bit too much in regards to that? I mean we are humans, we have moments of happiness, moments of rage, sometimes it's harder to control ourselves, I find it way too much for players to get PERMANENT BAN over insulting people in chat.

I mean you never know when this might happen to you, even though you have to get through several stages to get there but after hundreds or thousands or hours, money and heart put into the game to get permanent ban over racial and offensive behaviour I do consider it's too much.

Then some of you might ask: well what then, let's all curse and swear each other in chat?
The answer is no! A much better idea, in my opinion, is if someone reached the 1 week ban of offensive language and he does it again after the ban expires he gets another week of ban and the process keeps going until that player finally stops. And, psychologically speaking, they will stop if this whole process is repeated to them because they'd want to play and for sure their behaviour will change.

Another useful thing would be: let's say you got the first ban(24 hours like I DO atm xD - not surprised anyway, my raging moments are quite often tbh...) if for a week let's say you don't swear or curse anyone in chat you will get again the 24 hours ban at the first rule break, not continue to 72 hours.

What would you think of this guys?

i think the ban is good
and should stay
permanent ban is better if you will shame yourself to get unbanned like in other games

I like it the way you said how they punish this behaviour.

If they cant control their emotions or simply have to insult others and DONT learn from the short bans, better sort that thrash out.

No, permanent is NOT too much. If you have to get told to stop repeatedly, and you don't... Also, there are tons of threads about this already. Read them too if you have time to spare.

its just what every parent should do to their kids
really mature of you psyonix!

i mean it. if i had kids i would learn them something instead of lying and saying that everything is good.
that would only spoil them
psyonix just stood up from his lazy chair and finally said something

As a wise man once told me about moderating irc chat,
"If you smash you thumb with a hammer I understand if you say, "♥♥♥♥!' But if you take the time to type it out it is no longer a spontaneous reaction but a thought out reply."

cursing while getting hurt will decrease the amount of pain you are getting

I do understand your point but don't you think perma ban should only be applied if you use cheats, hacks, phishing or other programs that tehnically help you in the game and gain unfair advantage and NOT offensive language?

you're all pretty retarded, they could just ban chat priviliges, not the whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game

Nope.
It's a rule. How hard is it to follow?

No.

@Spawk if you accidentally slip one offensive word and someone reports you, you never know when it might happen to you, and the first ban comes, 3 more attempts, maybe ones accidentally and you're forever gone with RL.

Like I said repeated one week bans should be enough for people who continuously abuse chat, I mean let's say they are free from a one week ban, if they have anger issues they'll get yet again 1 week of ban, 1 week where you won't encounter them...

You don't get banned for ONE word ONE time.
