You will probably find nobody else reported him, yet you get an FV215b 183 Ammorack you 1 shot at the start and watch the votes and abuse start. I hope you sent it into Wargaming. I am getting that fed up with abuse and nut jobs that grinding a tank after tier 6 just opens up the flood gates for abuse. What gets me now more than anything is when the countdown starts and the abuse is already getting thrown around. It’s now far worse than before the update last year before the chat was taken away. 

One thing that does get me is that racist terms are banned and you can’t even call a Sp1c a Sp1c in game chat but it’s fine to call people names that are physically or mentally challenged.

Send the replay to WG, if you didn’t deserve the ban I’m sure they will revoke it...

You could always post it here as interesting to see what people get bans for...

 

 

They won't revoke it, only tell "sorry, we messed up, get over it". Been there, with screeshots.

It's works fine, me think, just wanted to add, that WG won't lift a ban even if it's clearly a mistake.

I totally agree Honour sucks, it’s just so easy to manipulate. What I would also say is remove chat too as people like yourself are making Blitz more and more so by the day the game with the worse reputation going for acceptable abuse. It wants stopping and stopping now, oh shame they didn’t ban you for life!

Yes acceptable abuse! Nobody is doing anything to stop it!

 

[Spinney_FL]

Completely agree.

Apparently WG will not revoke any honour, but will revoke penalties

Since I was searching for any topic that addresses this issue and this is the one I found, I'm going to share my stuff here.

So, I've had chat bans left right and center already, the last reasonable one coming from late spring this year. After that, I mostly stopped using the in-game chat, but still got the occasional report and ban because some salty kids decided I was not going to have a good time. Which means, in the last 4 months, I've had just as many chat bans despite not using the in-game chat. At least the typing chat, I'd still use quick commands whenever needed.

However, lots of times, if the game just went to absolute crap because the team couldn't make their mind up what to do, I wouldn't say anything even. I used to rage and throw insults around, and any chat bans imposed from that are fully reasonable. But since April or so, I haven't said a swear word in this game, which is, honestly, quite an achievment. Especially if you have losing streaks that make your WR nose-dive.

 

Anyway, back to last week, Wednesday noon to be exact... I had a horrible rating battle in my T-62A and afterwards, messaged one of my allies who'd really held up long but after all, died because the enemy rushed him. I said "GG, too bad that you couldn't carry, the team didn't really want to win it seems". He threw all the names under the sun at me and then said he'd report me to WG, which apparently he did because since Friday evening until, well actually in four hours of now, i'm on a moderator-imposed chat ban. You know, the one that doesn't show up in your record but in-game if you try to do ANYTHING in chat (even using commands like "Help!" ). That ban is still valid until about 18:00 CEST. 

Now my question is, HOW the hell did I get reported on my first battle today (screenshots are down below) for Provocative Communication again even though I was literally banned from using the chat feature itself? Plus, I got ANOTHER ban on top for three days. Which is always great for a tournament leader, eh..?
TL;DR: In my mind, this is just a whole conspiracy against individual players, especially those of my clan since these kind of incidents have been reported to our clan lead by many people. The Military Honor System and the report system it owns are open to abuse like nothing I've ever seen before. And WG Support don't really care, they'd rather sit back and Copy-Paste their reply "It's automated, we don't do anything about it" rather than bring the issue to people who can actually do something.

Your ally might have felt insulted because he thought you called him "too bad". Same thing happened to me once. A poor grasp of english can have strange results, especially when WG support guys share that poor grasp of english...

yes no idea what you're saying can result in assuming it's insults

 

check their name, will they have any idea what you're saying

 

i've said the nicest thing to people that dont know english and later received a ban for insulting them

 

it's the human condition

 

they assume

 

and nobody can change their assumptions

I got too ban chat for no reason i had to play wot blitz for 5 days....I asked them why and they never answered me 

[Just_merpug]

Say nothing. Then you can't get banned. If you do, send WG the replay. Or, and here's a novel idea, don't cry when you lose. I dunno. Never been banned, got sod all MH downvotes, not the most stellar player myself. So it must be something you're doing.

[Mjr_Eazy]

That doesn’t look enough to get banned for, you must have said something else...

I’ve had one ban, fully deserved it too

MH, I’ve had some downvotes, some I’ve deserved, some have been from salty platoons upset are being killed or me killing them but MH is dumb, just dish put lots of upvotes and you should get plenty back and avoid any issues.  The WG line about there being nothing they can do is BS, mind.

What has happened to the forum, this post has been hanging around for over a month now like many others, why can’t we talk about the 5.5 debacle before the 3.8 starts all over again?
