    No.

    First off, "Drink bleach" is not a death threat. It is extreme disrespect which can lead to a mute for up to 12 hours.
    However, death threats are illegal in most countries and you can actually get jailed for it. Considering this, I think a 7 day ban is not too strict. Same goes for DDoS threats: DDoS is an offense against US federal law and one of the most severe rule violations possible on Brawl and in Minecraft.

    Being on warz or not being warz doesn't make a difference. You shouldn't be threatening people in the first place

    Your argument is controversial. You state that people shouldn't take insults in this "pixel game" seriously, but then you imply that dying in this "pixel game" is so infuriating that you must threaten and insult them.

    ddos threat bans are understandable but saying drink bleach should be a 20 min mute or something like that. you don't die when you drink bleach, this girls brother in my class drank bleach and he still lives today. plus idk why anyone would actually kill themselves over a block game.

    The protocol for saying things like "Drink bleach" is warn, if the player continues mute for 60 minutes, if the player continues once the mute expired, mute for 12 hours.

    You're not the only one, i've been through the same thing.
    But yes, that kind of threat might actually tip someone off the edge.

    Or, here's another solution, just hear me out. Maybe people like you should stop spewing sh*t out of your mouth 24/7. Idk.

    Dude I got banned for life because I was framed for hacking. I tried 2 weeks of appealing it but was forced to buy a unban, you're lucky not to get banned forever. Why would you ever want to say rude things to other human beings? That's not very nice.

    Why do you even bother with this "pixel" statement, it's pixels made up of real words.

    DDoS / DoX is something illegal, and even if it's a threat, do you see how easily booters can be obtained nowadays? It could easily change from a threat. Telling someone to kill themselves is a serious mattert. If you were in a depression state, and you were told to go kill yourself, maybe you wouldn't commit suicide, but maybe you'd do some sort of self harm? Have you ever imagined yourself on the receiving players side, and took into account what could be going on in their life?

    Hey kids. So, only OGs will know for "2" what I'm about to say. So don't even pretend you know if you don't. (The creator of this thread is evidently one of the less informed WarZ players)

    1: Concerning DDoS threats, this is for your own safety in my opinion. If someone threatens to DDoS me in-game, well, I'm going to have a field day on them. And that is not something you want to have happen. If there are negative repercussions for saying these threats, people are less likely to use them.

    2: Concerning "kill yourself" comments. A player who shall go unnamed tried to kill himself about 1.5 years ago. Proof? Look on W33d_PvP's channel. W33D posted an "I didn't make him do it, don't blame me" video about him.

    And the only reason this person is still alive is because he got to the E.R. in time. In reality, the bleach should have killed him when he ****ing poured it into self-inflicted knife wounds in his stomach. So next time you think, "Oh there's no way this will have an affect on this person," don't say anything at all.

    And @Mayy
    Get off your goddamn high horse, man. Don't you understand that rules were made to stop people like you from getting annihilated?

    @Mayy In order to not be banned, don't be rude to others saying all of this in the first place. Just shut your mouth and smack yourself once in a while, like I do.

    I, myself, would like to complain about having a 7 day ban. I mean common... really? They're going to ban us for doing illegal activities? I'd think that doing it over a computer screen would completely justify it. But now, since they're having a fit about it, I'll have to spend the next 7 days pertaining to that thing called a life. How does a life even work? Screw it. I'd rather complain on the forums anyways. Maybe they'll unban me if I make an appeal. Or better yet, maybe I'll make an uneducated forums post about it.

    Don't take that lightly. People who deal with depression can be easily offended and hurt by things like that. I have been depressed many times before, and had troubles. It may be pixels and what you would think would not be taken seriously can have serious repercussions. Many people enjoy playing these games because it is an escape from their real lives, whether they deal with school, or home relates issues. When they are bullied here, or anywhere after that it makes them feel like they don't belong.
    I started Minecraft and games because I was depressed and bullied at school. Sometimes I would get teased on Brawl, and it would make me feel useless and alone. I hated myself for a while, and was extremely depressed. Real life or not things like this are to be taken seriously.

    One more thing for you @Mayy, or iZerkahh, whatever you go by.

    You basically said, "You don't know what its like to threaten to ddos someone and then get banned for it :frowning: Brawl staff is so unfair!!! They uphold their rules :frowning: Why can't they let me break federal law?!?!? :frowning: :frowning:"
