The Tribunal isn't even active at the moment, so it physically couldn't have handled your case even if it did deal with chat restrictions (which it does not).

I'm not sure if you're saying you actually got a chat restriction, but if you did, I'll say this - you don't get chat restricted for the outcome of one game. If you didn't, I'll say this - a warning ONLY takes into account one game and isn't directly indicative that you're close to punishment. I've gotten a warning before despite rarely talking a lot, period, let alone flaming.

Either way, getting lots of reports isn't directly an auto-punish, but I'm assuming it flags you for review under the chatban system which then scans your logs for any patterns it knows. If it finds one and its negative, you get a punishment. If it's not, then you get skipped over (though there might be a system in place for players who consistently get reported a lot and still pardoned).
