Ideally, enough mutes/blocks and that person would get a manual review.

I don't like automated bans because they often have false positives.

I 100% agree with enough mutes/blocks leading to a manual thing.

Automated bans are not great but they have a time and place. Theoretically they are getting better.

My point is something should be done about these things. I don't have the answers, but something needs to be done.

Automated bans just lead to harassment and false positives. There should only be manual review on human-operated accounts.

I didn't say automated bands based on reports. Yeah those lead to harassment and abuse. Obviously not a good case for automation.

But injecting code into the game with a 3rd party client could be automated if detected. That's what i meant by automated bans.
