Blizzard mod owns player after he claims he did nothing wrong

Let’s play guess the expletive

While I think people overuse the word “toxic” (being competitive is not inherently “toxic”), it’s pretty clear in some cases.

Like this one, which a Blizzard mod hilariously brought to light after a player claimed he was silenced (read: can’t chat) in Heroes of the Storm after “not breaking any rules.” After several days a mod fired back, showing exactly why they had punishment brought down upon them, before calmly going back to submitted a canned customer support response, and closing the thread to prevent a retort.

I got a good laugh out of “(religious figure),” and the fact that the player openly admitted to using insults.

I was silenced for reporting [Battle.net] Thanks Trevor!

For confimration [sic], you were not silenced for reporting others. You were silenced for using chat like this: 

2016-06-07 19:25:03LILI WHAT THE (double expletives) ARE YOU DOING (expletive noun)
2016-06-11 10:46:50 kill tracer noobs (religious figure) (obscene word) 

2016-06-14 00:35:25 AWSOME the (offensive words) THAT CANT REPLY TO MY INSULTS TOOK MY PICK
2016-06-14 lol I will (politier word would’ve been ‘mess with’) with him the whole game now
