Funny how badly this thread derailed..
I don't have an amusing story for you tho, I haven't been banned yet. Even though I've probably deserved it a couple of times.

man you guys are being very harsh on him. Don't act as if lots of people haven't used words like this, and most likely none of those people get banned. Lets look at the awesome bans that we have seen in SC2, Deezer - no ban, CombatEX(EZZZZ) - no ban, (former)ROOTDestiny - banned for a week. I have used mean words but i don't expect a ban when it was needed, everyone gets frustrated and some people let it out this way. In real life do you think a police man would pull you over for obscenities? No, and Blizz does not need to play police for something as puny as this. I don't have a funny ban story but i know that i played a CS:S game against a bunch of hackers that i'm pretty sure have gotten VAC banned by now :D

Or everyone here isn't a 19 year old southern californian.

The people deserving a ban don't get banned. People not deserving of it get banned. That's how it works.

And I have friends in Utah...New York..Texas..etc. and they will all say the word faggot is just a casual slang word using nowadays.

I'm started to side with Boraz tbh, people calling him a douche sound pretty douchy themselves :D The question is: for how much longer will this thread keep going?

I live in Socal and in a asian area for that matter, everyone does not go around calling each other gooks and what not. Just becasue your few friend call each other faggots does not make it acceptable among the generally populace. I'm sure if some random kid walked by called you a faggot you would likely get pissed.

Yeah I feel Blizzard doesn't really look at reports...they probably have certain words like faggot on a list and auto suspend anybody using them if they get reported. But they don't care about cuss words.

There's a huge difference between using it between friends and using it against random people online.

The kid cussed me out with multiple words I won't list first...I took it in stride and responded with 1 word. So his enjoyment consists of cussing me out and I can't disrupt it by calling him a faggot? Eat your words sir. I have read the thread and in fact responded multiple times. If you're being abused yourself then report them and add them to your ignore list, simple. 99% of the time it doesn't matter what was being said to you when these reports are looked at, just at what you said and that was correctly deemed as enough to get you a suspension from the service. So using the F word...both B words...the S word (I don't wish to use these words so I'll just give the initals) aren't deemed banworthy by Blizzard? Are they homosexuals as well? I don't care about being cussed out...I care about being banned for using a single word when he said a lot worst to me. If they "investigated it thoroughly" then shouldn't they have seen the replay and seen all the words he said to me as well?
"Faggot" is infinitely worse than those words (at least in my opinion), it's discriminating and offensive there is absolutely no reason to use it. But as I said if you report him then Blizzard will look into it, you have no way of knowing if they've taken action based on that.
The fact that you think that because they banned you for using that word means they're homosexuals and the fact that in an earlier post you said "Homosexual (or faggots)" shows your level of maturity. Someone's opinion on the offensiveness of a word and the punishment handed out has absolutely nothing to do with sexual orientation.
Also, Blizzard won't use replays, that'd be stupid. They'll have chat logs of everything you've said and refer to that.

I'm surprised so many people didn't realize you can get banned for vulgar language, harassments, threats etc...
The fact of the matter is, if someone who does it doesn't get ban, it's only because they haven't been reported. Anyone who gets constantly reported for severe things will get their account ban eventually
People who want to run around and pretend they are combatex jr. will get banned if if if people report them. Even he'd get banned if enough of the top tier players he snipes were reporting him on a regular basis.
Also @ the OP, doesn't matter if he cussed you out, ever heard of the saying 2 wrongs don't make a right? He may have gotten suspended for whatever he did, but you equally deserved the suspension. No slander, threats, or harassment should be tolerated across the board. Just because it's retaliation doesn't put you in blizzards good graces.

guys.. the point of this thread was to tell people about your stories of being bannned, not to call boraz a douche for calling someone a fag.
TL, i am dissapoint

I must be immature by saying Blizzard must be homosexual for banning me for using faggot and not banning people using normal curse words.

Hey daph learn to read. I didn't make the thread to complain..I wanted other people to post stories as well...but idiots like you turned this thread into a faggot discussion.
