CSGO Feb 11 update brings new punishments for chat abuse \u2013 patch notes ValveThe latest update to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on February 11 brings in new measures to deal with players who abuse the in-game communication systems. Valve recently announced that they would be taking measures to more effectively target those who are abusing communication in CS:GO, and it seems these measures are now being rolled out. Following the update, those who receive significantly more reports for communication abuse than average will receive a warning. If they continue to be reported after this warning, they\u2019ll be automatically muted by default when they join games \u2013 although teammates can still chose to unmute them. Those who are automatically muted will have to work off the punishment by earning XP. Valve is also adjusting the mute function so that it\u2019s more thorough. In addition to voice and in-game chat being muted, players who are muted will also have their name and avatar hidden, effectively hiding any identifying features of the player in the game. In addition, the update also makes it so that reporting someone for abusive communication will automatically mute the player being reported, saving you an extra step if you come across someone abusing the chat.
