Why do I get banned for this?
So I was playing a game of Valorant ranked and wrote into the chat "Thank you sm!". i used "sm" instead of "so much" because of time. Then I saw that "sm" was censored and now I have a competitive and chat ban. Can someone explain why this happened, which employee wouldn`t see the context and how I get unbanned? because I really want to get the bronze badge this season but I haven´t played enough matches yet. ):

Yeah that’s what I was thinking
But he said there was only two censored letters
I first went into another ranked match and in the match without even typing anything into the chat I got the message
Oh

Did you type anything in the previous games?
But then there would have been 3 censored letters, right?
True
No, since I got unbanned I was really careful
What?

Damn I have no clue
Oh, can you say what the word meant?
ok
I googled it and it says "Short Message"
I have found that a lot of random stuff gets banned the other day somthing really random (I forget what it was) but anyways it was supposed to be a callout got censored. I think Val is just really sensitive to anything that could be a slur or offensive acromyn

try writing a ticket to valorant support, it takes a few days but they will probably unban if you explain it
