Now don’t get me wrong, 4 chat bans can definitely be considered a lot, however context is required, I’ve been playing this game for 4 years now (I was in beta) and thats a single chat ban a year, when the chat ban rules were put into place I imagine it was to dissuade people from spamming obscenities in chat, after all 3 strikes your out. That being said there’s a difference from getting chat banned repeatedly in a single month, to once a year >.>

Huh.
200 years long silences are still a thing then

It will make very little difference posting this here.
I think you can better contact support, explain the situation and ask for a somewhat milder punishment.
(Right, @Loutre ?)
Your great great great great grandchildren can play the game though! Good luck!

You were warned and then given smaller bans to correct your chat behavior and then fourth time is permanent silence. This is an automatic thing in our system where silences stack and lead to a permanent silence.
As said above, you can contact support and they can look into your specific chat silences.

I don’t disagree, keep in mind one of my chat bans was for saying “your mother” and the mod I spoke to said I violated community guidelines by saying it. With such small things being policed eventually everyone would be chat banned 4times.
Players know that by mass reporting what someone says they can get them chat banned and the guidelines are so vague anything can fit in there if they wanted it to, least they could do to even it out is clear the 4 strikes yearly, or big yearly, or tri yearly, or quad yearly
In any of the above mentioned scenarios I’d still be able to speak.

It seems rather unlikely, all things considered, that this user particularly needs to ‘correct their chat behaviour’ if they’ve been flagged a grand total of 4 times over the course of 4 years 
I received a chat silence once for this –
– without any profanity or confrontational language at all, so it certainly seems possible to accumulate an unreasonable permasilence without having actually done a lot wrong 
An expiry on historical chat silences that redistributes them after a period of time certainly doesn’t sound like a bad idea.

This can very much be a bad idea as people may be banned for grooming or other horrible things which is why support looks at it as case by case.
Aren’t there levels of chat silence though? I thought things like that carried a longer ‘sentence’ anyway, which should help distinguish them from more minor offences and apply an expiry accordingly
I can’t go into full detail over the chat system, but it’s a yes and no. Sometimes people can slip through. Automation is not fool proof and a good reason why we need to do case by case for these things.
As opposed to banning the oldest active player from your chat
200 years being a life sentence now.

Although funny,
It is kinda sad to see that in 200 years the image showed to the players would still be that the game is dying, maybe do something to change this perception sooner than 2221…?

It was a joke as in every “the game is dying” post I do comment that things are going well. No need for doom and gloom 24/7. I’m planning on writing the State of the Game post next week for more info on how things are improving so much since the last post. So many great new hires!
