Why Am I Muted / Why Can Nobody See What I Type in Chat?
If other players cannot see your chat messages on WoA, it may be due to one of two types of mutes: Server Mutes or Communication Suspensions. Read on to learn more about these mutes and how to address them.

Server Mutes
Server mutes are issued directly by WoA staff. If you’ve been muted:
You’ll receive a message in chat informing you of the reason for the mute and its expiry date.
Appeals can be sent to support@playwoa.com, but only incorrect punishments will be reviewed.
If you don’t see a reason for your mute but your messages aren’t visible to others, it’s likely due to a Communication Suspension (detailed below). WoA-issued mutes will always include a reason and expiration notice.
Communication Suspensions
Communication suspensions are issued by Mojang (Microsoft) and apply across all Featured Servers and Minecraft Realms. These suspensions are typically:
Automatically triggered by Mojang's chat filter for violations such as extreme language or sharing private information.
Manually issued by Mojang staff in rare cases.
When suspended, your messages will appear as sent to you, but other players will not see them.
🔗 Note: WoA has no control over Mojang’s chat filter or communication suspensions. For more information, see the FAQ below.
Communication Suspensions: Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Communication Suspension?
A suspension means that while your messages appear sent to you, they are not visible to other players. If others are not responding to your messages, it’s possible they cannot see them.
Why am I suspended?
Most suspensions are triggered by:
Extreme or inappropriate language.
Oversharing personal or private information.
Actions in other Featured Servers or Realms (suspensions are applied globally).
Suspensions may be issued even if the triggering behavior didn’t occur on WoA.
How long will my suspension last?
Most suspensions are temporary and will be lifted as your chat behavior improves.
Severe violations, such as extreme racism or repeat offenses, may result in permanent suspensions.
How can I remove my suspension?
Improving your chat behavior is the most effective way to lift a suspension. Avoid triggering the filter by adhering to appropriate language standards. However, permanent suspensions cannot be undone.
Can WoA help me?
Unfortunately, WoA has no control over Mojang’s chat filter or suspension system. WoA Support cannot lift suspensions or make exceptions. Xbox Support is also unable to assist with these issues.
Why can I talk on other servers but not on WoA?
Your chat reputation is linked to your Xbox account and applies across all Featured Servers and Realms. If you’re able to chat on private or non-featured servers, it’s because the suspension does not apply there.
Warning About 'Unsuspension' Methods
Beware of myths and misinformation about removing suspensions by spamming or flooding chat. These methods are ineffective and may worsen your suspension or lead to additional penalties, such as:
Worsened reputation under Mojang's filter.
A manual server mute from WoA for rule violations.
