[2022] Can I get reported/banned for “passive play?”

It's not.

Passive behaviour is more suitable for some, who, for example, some time ago tried to abuse system by landing somewhere on map and being AFK.

Please do not make up theories.

There is no such thing as ban only because you got reported multiple times. Game Masters check every report.

Individual report is enough IF reported user actually break game rules.

From your post we can clearly see, that you have no clue what you are talking about. Chat ban for rule breaking not related to chat? Really mate, stop creating such theories.

Your chat ban was for insulting other players.

OP already got his answer. No need for some fairy tale stories made up by random rule breakes.
