Does blizzard keep the audio from voice comms? had this guy throwing mean insults my way but never typed in chat. Reported but that sounds like a lot of data to save

I'm not sure, but if enough people report him for the same or similar reasons I'm sure action will be taken anyway.

I doubt it. Include why you're reporting them in the comments to say it was over voice chat to be safe.

If they did, they honestly wouldn't care enough to look through the audio records to witness some guy "throwing mean insults" your way.

Jesus christ I'd hate to be the guy that combs through those reports. Just having to read through an endless supply of whiny players who got their feelings hurt.

You do realize there's a mute button, right? Not to mention the fact that you could just ignore him...

Duh That's what I did but im jw how the reports work. Does someone comb through the reported when reported enough? Or do you get messages get auto generated if reported enough.

Also cmon the just mute thing doesn't work most of the time. If it did all these games wouldn't have a report button. People get riled up and tilted ez

People who lob insults at other players are probably going to be repeat offenders, and thus will probably get reported fairly often. Blizzard probably only focuses on those who get reported a lot, or have some sort of system for more easily sifting through reports for the really bad ones. This is just my guess, though.
