Just tragic...

On a serious note; be careful because these "hate speech and harassment" temporary bans add up and dont seem to ever reset. I said something bad in S2 and got banned for 24h. Then I behaved up until S10 or something when I said "had no f-word ammo" (after someone raged at me and said things 10x worse) and got banned again, this time a week. So I guess, next time is permaban even if its 4 years from now =)
But in all honesty, its actually spelled geyser and I guess the bann system is automatic, just banning based on certain words and not the context, I am not defending the system because its actually super pathetic. Better not use the text chat at all.

@BalladalidilaThanks for your message man. When I saw the content of the message, I wondered whether that word was "gayser" rather than "geyser". I just lol and feel sorry for the system.
First of all, not everyone has to know English "like a native language" and some words struggle to be written the way most people hear the pronunciation. It's like someone who doesn't speak English can't tell the difference between "gray" and "grey". Honestly, maybe it's "gray", but when I typed many times "grey" until now, there was no problem.
Let's put everything aside;
In my native language, geyser is pronounced and written as "gayzer". So our nation and language are making fun of and insulting people who are "gay"? I've noticed that they're great at getting people hooked on little letter games and turning people off from the game. Instead of dealing with people's thoughts on lgbt, you could have embraced the players better with a "small and effective" warning. Not like "one week ban"
If one of this ea team had been sentenced to a week in prison for calling me "gay", I'm sure none of them would have approved this decision. But they preferred to ban my account for 1 week directly. Even in the Riot Games "League of Legends", in case of a penalty for hate speech, they allow players to take lessons in a peaceful environment with small warnings, first a penalty of 5 games, then a penalty of 10 games, then a penalty of 25 games, and then a banning for not using chat for 1 week.- NickBeam273 years agoSeasoned Ace@VenozanteR Wow, I feel bad for you. That is actually really pathetic indeed. It goes to show you that now only does an automated system flag words, but clearly it is also the automated system that looks at the relevance of the content and how it was used and determines a ban.
There is no way an actual human being would have made that decision to ban based on the content. Clearly it would have been chalked up as a spelling mistake by a human.
We can see from this example and many others, a computer is judge, jury and executioner. WTF!?
