Banned for playing with cheater

How does this work, what are the punishments they give out. I know first they give out 2 day ban to the player queing with a cheater, but what comes after that does anyone know?

First offense: Warning
Second-Third offense: Temporary Suspension
Fifth offense: account suspension

How do you know if it's just a temporary suspension?

It will state Suspension and Timeframe in the Notification E-Mail.
There is also “Suspended” instead of “Banned” displayed right under the Play Button.
The third Option for the Battle.net Launcher would be “Locked” which is for SMS Verification.

Usually there is a Warning which for this offense is a 1-Day Suspension.
For Communication, it would be a Chat-Timeout for 14 Days.
After that, you receive two weeks.

Then they give a month up to three times in total, and after that you will be banned.
There can be differences per case, but that is basically it.

Well, then this is not the case anymore. It says banned right under my game in bnet launcher. In mail it doesn't seem temporarily either, but on my bnet account page (game licenses) it still says "active" in white text on overwatch, that's what's confuses me. Also I never got any penalty since ow got released. Only one 14 day chat mute a month ago.

Anyway the best of all this is I haven't even used a cheat on a versus Multiplayer ever.
Not on overwatch not on any other versus multi-player game. In other words I have absolutely no idea what I even did and got banned.

It is still the case and depends on the offense.
As explained above, you can be banned upon first offense as well.
The Account page is different from the Launcher, it doesn't always update and display a ban.

The majority of Users will receive an E-Mail Notification, and it will be displayed in the Launcher.
A Chat Mute is already a warning.
You can contact Support to ask. Maybe you never noticed Suspensions due to inactivity.
