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:
