But they did also mention changes to it.
Multiple people ganging up on you to report you in the same game has no effect on whether or not you are banned. We are looking at patterns of behavior over time only.
If you are currently communication banned, any communication reports you receive in that time period do not contribute towards, nor result in additional ban
Valve's always been a shit company, doesn't surprise me they'd take this route.
The refusal to use actual people and just go with an automated system is fucking retarded. The fact that you can be muted for 160 hours for harmlessly taunting people in chat, when the company put in taunts to the game. Just goes to show how fucking braindead this system actually is.
