Getting banned for a whole WEEK for calling someone a [Admin - Removed]?

I'm quite certain that my insult was a retaliation to that person flaming me in the first place (probably called me a noob and blamed me for his death and not saving him - happens a lot).

The thing is that I didn't report him while he used the report system to get back at me, while getting away scot-free himself...

Anyways I would understand getting muted for a week or banned for 1-3 days but getting banned for a whole week for something so insignificant is a way too harsh of a punishment...

I guess the lesson from this is to never talk back and instead use to report function urself at the slightest offence...

  • @whutwat I report everyone who sends abusive messages, its petty but rather retaliate that way and have the culprit given a communication ban instead of pointless arguments which only encourage them to do it again.
  • Or do what I so and ignore them. It's probably more annoying for them to be ignored than for you to retaliate.

    Unfortunately the internet means you encounter about 10,000 times more people in your life in the days before it was a thing (which I am old enough to remember). You therefore encounter 10,000 times more *-holes too.

  • You should go PS4 don't believe there's an ingame option to report people unfortunately.

    Had so many experiences of players who needed genuine reporting, but there's no option for it and i cba for no long winded report to ea way.

    I imagine thats the same for most.

    Civilised insults are OK

    "If you run off to loot greed on your own and expect me to be your revive backup plan from far away...no thanks 🙂"

    Being angry means they have succeeded in provoking you. Responding light heartedly will annoy them more and maybe get the message through!

  • @whutwat Just say “in the good CoD days you’d be getting killed over and over again”

    I miss those epic times xD
