If you abuse chat, you may find yourself on the receiving end of a chat restriction. While this won't prevent you from playing the game, you will be unable to chat for the duration of the restriction.
If you think we got this one wrong and would like to appeal the restriction, you can submit an appeal. Just know that correctly given restrictions won't be lifted.
