So I am enjoying a chat ban, not questioning it, if I said what they claim I said I am fine with their decision.  What I find very frustrating is that now for 5 days I will not be able to ping the map to point out important targets, I can't "T" or mark my targets for focus fire or call in for artillery on a priority target.  There is no use of commands that can be important like "back to base", "attack", "affirmative", etc. and I believe that this truly does handicap the player.  Now I know that people get chat banned for a number of reasons, one of which is spamming the map, which can be annoying, but I think in general people can still communicate a little and still be more helpful to their team by being able to use the Hot Keys and the Map, but still be cut off from team chat and general chat.

Really getting tired of these spammers spaming on both minimap and chat box.

hotkeys only, and even then limit the number in ex amount of seconds.

I have had a few chat bans and I actually kind of liked it.  I didn't find the lack of commands to be a problem since they are mostly ignored anyways.

I tend to find "Requesting Fire at "X" Works with pubbies, because that certain little flashy thing above the tank catches their attention and they like shiny..
Also I would like to say im "Reloading"
or even a "Help" because it helps 'Sometimes'

but of course, people have macro's to type things in with mods. I know a few people who have it set to "GL HF, Watch my stream, ETC." so I don't know how that will effect this. But thats another 2 Cents of mine.

I'm banned from chat permanently for swearing and there have been many times that being able to ping the map would have helped save the team.

Your only hurting the team... the WarGamings customers; by not letting people(banned for stupid things like swearing) ping the map to communicate battle situations.

Try not using the commands for 5 days and see if it really helps or not, you might be surprised.  As for those who put "GL HF" in the chat, I ignore them no matter what, it is such a stupid cliche at this point that anyone placing that in the chat box isn't worth listening to.

So people that are being friendly aren't worth listening to? Sorry I didn't realise that saying "Good Luck and Have Fun" is so offensive.
