Had a real karen in my arena, took a word wrong then bailed and was wrong.

During the match I said stop pussyfooting around.  The person was like don't say p***y.  Even merriam webster dictionary states: *·​foot | \ ˈpu̇-sē-ˌfu̇t  \ pussyfooted; pussyfooting; pussyfoot...

@Ev3rM0r3Fyi naming and shaming isnt allowed on the forums. Also, you could still get in trouble for what you said.

@hayhor Why?  There is *nothing* wrong with what he said.  Not a thing.\

If people are getting banned for this the problem lies with how the bans are applied and *THAT'S* the problem.

As a Computer Science University Academic type who literally studies the technologies used behind these types of things, there is no excuse.  None.

@RockDokRock The bans are carried out by bots/AI. This has been stated and verified. This is why ppl get randomly banned (on stream and off) for absolutely nothing.

In case of japanese ppl, nigero means run, but what does the AI/bot see? The word without an ‘o’. Many japanese got banned for this and went to reddit. You can ask @Cheese9Man about it as well.

Same thing here. If a certain word is contained within a bigger word and someone wants to grief you, he can send it as ‘evidence’ of profanity or hate speech. A non-human will likely evaluate it and if it’s not a good one so to speak, bam, ban, bye and then we all know how difficult it is to get your account back, even with evidence xD.

Hayhor knows that what he said isn’t bad, he was alluding to the fact that you can still get banned for it tho

    @Koochi-Q Wait, are you saying if you type a certain African country's name in game you'll get banned? Bruh, that is some degree of next level wackiness, if that's true.

      @CCbathwater Yes, you might. It’s not a definite and cases are far and few between, but if someone wants to grief, you might get banned for it xD.

      The japanese thing is related to language barrier ofc but it shows that it’s definitely an automated process.

      @CCbathwater Only if someone reports you. Which I honestly wouldn't be surprised given how some players like to troll others. One guy kept insulting my mother, but specifically using positive words with innuendo to avoid triggering any filters. He kept going for three or four times, but when I never responded, he gave up. He was trying to provoke me to report me, I'm sure.

      @CCbathwater That's the lack of sophistication I was referring to in my earlier post.  If the numbers 69 and 420 can get you banned, all bets are off.  (Hey- maybe that's why the triple take was tucked into the care package?  Too much exposure to the funny sex number!)
