so far how many 3 or 5 out of 80000+
far more than the pro company trolls harassing them on each thread.

So you think judging players on their reporting service is fair evidence? Players use it like swatting.

only thing i noticed is going by how some of the posters mentioned they roped other players
seems their ban was deserved not for boting but for deliberate inactivity(blizzard probably enforces this if the reports pile up)
Straight from the most loyal pro company poster: roping is against the rules now!
Now those who defend such actions are in a pickle: defend the company, or defend the roping, which is not against tos.

That is because your head is so far up Blizzardâs blank that you canât smell their blank.
I never botted and only roped players that roped me. You clearly live in a cave if you havenât noticed how toxic Blizzardâs communication system is, and based on that it is a safe assumption that the reporting service is consistently misused. Till their BS ban I had been playing the game for 20 years and yet they think I suddenly decided to start botting. Also I can imagine how many reports long term players like me have racked up from disgruntled 12 year olds in their mommyâs basements. The reporting service is proof of nothing.

some just play a minion dont even attack and rope the next of the turn
and well "intentionally losing or deranking "is one of the reasons you can report people for
in one of these threads someone mentioned in some games /browsers they identify bots because of fixed paterns so ropers may be confused with bots too
im pretty sure you saw posted somewhere too the rule agaisnt harassment /griefing by deliberate inactivity
maybe whatever they are using to detect bots it also helps them find these type of ropers âŚ
That is a pointless discussion because Blizzard doesnât release its so called evidence so no one knows what players are doing to get banned. Players are afraid to play the game because they might get banned for some frivolous reason. If you read their terms of service âderankingâ or âintentionally losingâ, something that is rather difficult to prove anyway, is not against their terms of service. Anyway giving players permanent bans over such violations without indicating what the violations are is plain stupid.
Never thought I would say this but I will be glad to see the game flop. No one wants to pay for a game where their account could be banned permanently and no one has a clue as to why or when it might happen.
How about if players are acting in a way they donât like they warn them so they can modify the behavior. I have no idea what I was doing because I was not botting. I was playing the game the same way I have played it since Beta, which means anyone can get banned. If they want to suddenly change the rules on us than maybe they should tell us.

Harassment, âgriefing,â abusive behavior or chat, conduct intended to unreasonably undermine or disrupt the Game experiences of others, deliberate inactivity or disconnecting,
could be if they have a way to track the time a player spends roping over several games
i noticed the more recent bots ive seen no longer rope like the ones from months ago and even concede right away if you have lethal at the beginning of the turn
thats what is making me think blizzard is tracking the time a player spends roping
Are you kidding me? You know how broad that statement is. That can be anything they donât like. I have been playing the game the same way for 20 years so if they had a problem they should have stated it ages ago. You donât suddenly ban a player of 20 years out of the blue. That is BS. Anyway they accused me of botting and I have NEVER botted.

By the way a lot of inactivity happens to me due to bad connections. There are so many reasons for inactivity besides being intentional. Disconnecting can also happen due to bad connections and where I live bad internet is commonplace.

Now make sure you show up and post this every time a roper starts posting how roping is ok!

If I was doing something wrong, and that is far from clear, what you do is warn the player and if they continue the behavior you ban them. What is NOT reasonable is banning a player who has been playing the game the same way for 20 years and providing no reason for the ban.
One guy I listened to put $3000 into the game and lost everything without warning. Who wants to play a game where that can happen?
Also who wants to pay for a game that expects players to be experts about all the fine print in their terms of service. You donât permanently ban players, you give them a warning and explain the infraction in detail to them. Nobody reads the terms of service and these hypocrites banning people confused innocent players donât read them either when they play other games or applications.

thats why i think they may be tracking it over several games a few games of inactivity could be a bad connection
but a player roping every game during a week could be agaisnt the griefing rule
Exactly.
If roping is suddenly against the tos, then they should make that clear.
But they didnât, and they suddenly banned players using flimsy logic in order to hang their latest mission accomplished banner.
But youâre not going to get good faith arguments from someone who literally called the victims of the workplace harassment scandal âtools.â
Hence why I suggested it use those arguments in roping threads, rather than harassing people who have been harmed by the company. Again.

I donât rope players and I donât play bots so your explanations for the bans make no sense. As I said I only rope players when they rope me. If a player takes forever to play his turn I think it is only deserved I can do the same. That said those violations donât deserve a permanent ban, they warrant a warning. If I have been doing something in the 20 years I have been playing I never received a reprimand or a warning about it. To suddenly ban a player out of the blue is BS.
Players still deserve to be told what they are doing wrong and given a chance to correct it.

Found one about battle.net privacy issue violations. Apparently, ActiBlizzSoft sold information to Facebook through battle.net.
I canât link it

Their banning system is fraudulent, a ban must be made in relation to an investigation, detailed analyzes not in relation to a certain number of player reports.
Look at the last thread which asks if other players have been banned for botting when they didnât bot. Blizzard reaction > deletion of the topic. Because Blizzard is afraid that players will come together to take legal action, Blizzard knows that it will be punished if it takes it to court.

Nobody ever reports you for giving UP ya victim poser. Clearly you made someone ELSE give up, who then proceeded to play bop it on the report buttons against you until their battery life drained out. Think back to the last 30 matches you did. Was there someone you utterly crushed to the point where they feel like they had to Achilles heel you?
You have no idea what players report other players for poser (to use your own words) unless you have polled all Blizzard players. Considering how toxic their communication system is it is easy to imagine how misused their reporting system is. I was banned for botting and I have NEVER botted.
