...No? This is a terrible idea on all levels. I never understood this "say bad word" -> "completely banished" pipeline either. To me this just sounds like a power trip from people who want to enforce their ideals on the rest of us.
Disable chat/voip for some time (as CSGO already does if you don't opt out) if someone gets reported too much.
I wouldn't (and won't) drop full price on a modern multiplayer knowing some trigger happy biorobot could ban me for a word or two with no recourse or refund. And I very rarely get worked up about a game enough to swear.
- K0nserv 4y ago> I never understood this "say bad word" -> "completely banished" pipeline either. A: We aren't talking about a bad word or two here. You'd not receive an action like this for saying "gg ez noobs" or w/e. We are talking about racist, sexist, violent harassment here. B: It's not "completely banished", that's why I would suggest exponentially ban durations, hopefully people get the memo on the first offence. FWIW you can already be banned like this for cheating via VAC. Sexist/racist harassment is just as toxic as cheating to the game. It means big chunks of the population don't feel comfortable participating in the game fully(ask any female friends if they use voice chat in pubs).
