That's not exactly fair, though. It's true that this was caused by a few bad apples who abused the chat function, but that's not a valid precedent for SE's response. The thing is, SE isn't distributing this as a punishment for trash talking. If they were, I don't think anyone would be complaining. What they're doing instead is censoring the game to prevent trash talk from happening in the first place. That's the equivalent of throwing someone in jail on the suspicion that they MIGHT commit a crime. Such policies would normally be considered an extremely heavy abuse of authority and fundamentally wrong.
