DPS21 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I just got a message saying I was banned from chatting in-game though I have never violated any of the terms of service or any of the rules. Most of the time when I am in a game I am in party chat. I don't even have my mic plugged in half the time I play online and I have never said anything sexist, racist, or derogatory in any sense of the word. I am really confused and frustrated by this ban and lack of information surrounding why I may have been banned. Does anyone know who to contact concerning this?

DoctorB77 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 If you kept complaining or cursing you could have been reported. There have also been groups of people online who have been reporting to piss people off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS21 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 complaining? you mean if i got killed or something? thats total BS if thats the case, i mean, who doesn't occasionally voice their frustration if they have been killed? and chasing? you mean finishing off a kill? So really this proves nothing except the system is terribly flawed if a group of people can get someone banned out of nothing but spite.

DoctorB77 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I meant cursing And I agree that is a ton of crap that people can do that. If you are not playing with friends or someone you are talking to I would just turn off your Mic to be safe. Make sure you do not have any music playing or any static if that was the case. I hope you can get your account back to normal soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS21 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 thanks, I appreciate the help. even a ban for cursing is pretty silly, but honestly, none of this applies to me, as I have talked so little through in game chat that for me to be banned is ridicilous.

RedStarRocket91 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Back in Reach, if enough people muted you then you'd automatically get a 'mute ban' and people would have to deliberately unmute you to hear your voice. It might be something similar at work here: people might have muted you because they don't like hearing people talking in-game, or they don't speak your language. It sucks, but I hope your ban gets lifted soon, or you at least get a proper explanation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Negative feedback on voice gets you an automatic mute in game chat on any game. People have to unmute you themselves, half the time people muted are deserved the ban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS21 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I assure you this is not one of those times. I really did nothing that is deserving of this, unless I am forgetting something, I never said anything all that bad. You know what, I don't know if i am actually banned. I am able to chat in game, but don't know if that is because I am in a party and switched over to game chat. I feel kinda foolish for making this topic without testing it out, I guess I was kind of just taken aback when I saw the msg. Oh well, thanks for the replies, any way.

MeatWood™ Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 i always chat with friends in party chat. almost never do i talk to randos in the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderWombat Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Sometimes people just don't like to hear others talk, so they mute them. And there might be an auto-mute system which will keep you muted for a while because too many people already muted you. So chances are it wasn't because you did anything.
