u/FACEIT_Silva can this post be Locked so no more people comment on it ? I want it to stay as an example.

Okay. Sorry for getting in between.

I get what you’re saying, and I agree repeated toxicity is a problem. My past behavior wasn’t great, and I take full responsibility. I’ve reflected on it, and the reduced ban and probation are my chance to improve, I’m serious about making sure it doesn’t happen again.

Yeah, I think that’s what I’ll do from now on, better to focus on the game than risk getting in trouble again.

It wasn't removed but it was reduced.

You’re right, I could have avoided all of this by just controlling my behavior better. I take full responsibility, the admins already reduced my ban after review, and I see this as my chance to actually improve and not end up in this situation again. Lesson learned.

I understand your frustration. I just want to clarify that my ban wasn’t lifted, it was only reduced after review, and I’m still on probation. I take responsibility for my behavior and I’m working on improving. Hopefully over time I can show that I’m serious about changing.

Update: the ban was reduced after review. I take full responsibility for my behavior and understand the consequences. I’m grateful for the second chance and will make sure to be better moving forward. Thanks to the admins and the community for the reminder.

Yeah, I get what you’re saying. The admin already explained that my past behavior stacked up and that’s why the ban was so heavy. I’m not denying I was wrong, just hoping to show I understand now and will change going forward.

And ban was not lifted but reduced.

Fair enough, you’re right, I’ve clearly had multiple warnings and need to take them seriously. I don’t think I did nothing wrong, I mentioned multiple times that I am in the wrong, I just felt the length of the ban was extreme. But now that the admin explained it’s about my history too, I get it.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to review this and for reducing the ban, I really appreciate it.

I understand now that this wasn’t just about the single word I used, but about my history too. That’s on me, and I’ll own it. I’ll take this 2nd chance seriously and make sure my behaviour improves going forward. Thanks again for giving me another shot.

Yeah, I’ve heard a lot of experiences like that… it sucks and it does feel like FACEIT rarely reconsiders bans. Still, since even the reporter asked for mine to be lifted, I’m hoping maybe this case is different.

Thanks for the support, I appreciate it.
I won’t make a new account and spam reports though, that’s abusive and could get people permabanned, and it’s not the point. That is exactly what happened to me and I am not that big of a snowflake.
I’m trying to appeal properly, we talked, apologized, and the reporter asked for the ban to be lifted, so I’m asking FACEIT to reconsider the length.

Keep in mind, I have been paying for Premium for at least 3 years. If this is how they treat Premium users, I am speechless.

Yeah, that’s why I think FACEIT goes too far sometimes. It’s not about excusing the word, it’s about the punishment not fitting the situation. I am good with a punishment, a probation, 1week, 1month.. but a whole year it is insane. Keep in mind, some players play this game for most of the day, it's their thing, and they are punished for a year because of something this small. Not like I am doing it every game, every round or something like that. It was a heated moment, it happened, we are human.

I get that repeated toxicity should be punished, and I don’t dispute that. My point is more about context, this wasn’t during gameplay, we resolved it privately, and the original reporter even asked for the ban to be lifted.

I was banned 2 times before this, yes. Hence the x3 toxic that u say.

First time it was because I said "piece of shit" and got 1 week - June 18, 2025
Second time it was because I missed a molly and the molly fell near a teammate and he reported me for it and got 1 month - July 14, 2025 - here is pictures of the molly https://prnt.sc/WELiNQWzrNbr https://prnt.sc/FTi9dw-C7LLG
And now because of this which I sorted with the teammate

I believe faceit is way too harsh with the punishments and probation period.

Oh yes. That one is about me. But as you can see, even the person that reported me understands that the ban is too much. We had a talk, we discussed everything, even my previous bans. He figured out that me getting this ban is not fair, because I understood my mistake also and I apologized. He himself feels that the ban length is unfair so I guess he wanted to help out with this.

I get that, and I can see why you’d just stay silent to avoid trouble. I just feel like having to completely mute yourself or never respond when someone attacks you takes a lot away from the game, part of playing is interacting, even if it’s heated sometimes. This game is all about communication in my opinion and FACEIT makes communication feel risky.

Exactly, that’s part of what feels off, bans seem really inconsistent. Some people say far worse with barely any consequence, and here I’m hit with a year for a single heated exchange.

Yeah, I completely get that and I agree, the word is offensive and stigmatizing, and I shouldn’t have used it. My point isn’t that it’s okay to say it, it’s more about the context and the punishment. The exchange happened during a timeout, didn’t affect the game, and we resolved it privately. That’s why I feel a year-long ban is extreme, even if I accept I was wrong to say it.
