We need more moderator callouts for liars. For example, this moderator fact-checked OP and locked their thread:
Many chat or game banned players try to rewrite how they got banned and post threads rationalizing their toxic behavior. They usually leave out any mention of profanity, racism, sexism, etc. and pretend that all they wrote was “gg” to get banned. Makes me wonder how often they gaslight their real world peers.
I wish the chat logs blizzard gave were more accurate so posting logs became normal on here like it has been in other games.
To be fair you see this in game too. I don’t necessarily think it’s conscious.
For example, the whole “I just asked them to swap” sorta deal.
They always say they asked nicely, but I have only been asked nicely once out of hundreds of attempts. I just swapped even with my “no swap” policy because they genuinely asked nicely. I knew it was going to be the only time I ever had to it.
Then there’s the people who ask to swap once(sometimes actually nicely lol), then if you don’t they let loose
In the meantime, the actual words used were something like “swap to X you @##$% !@%$^ *&$%$ or de-install you worthless !#@%^$” when the mods check the logs. Personal memory can be pretty selective after the ban hammer drops.
You are absolutely correct. I report “GG EZ” all the time, and it always results in a “thank you” message for each report. Easy fix - keep your cool and be respectful. Your game will actually improve by taking the high road.
Agreed, this needs to occur more often.
It was always a huge deal when Jeff would deliver the smackdown himself. But I’ll settle for moderator input too.
No smackdown buddy i never denied being toxic i said typing GG EZ will get you banned and this community has turned into the biggest bunch of easily offended snowflakes i have ever seen in any video game after 30 years of gaming.
Yes it will.
But that’s not the only thing that will either, which you’re well aware of and got called out over.
Read the room or get punished buddy.
I disagree with the sentiment as well, but at least I’ve learned a level of maturity in my own 30 years of gaming.
…and let loose with it in games that are less strict with it.
Choose your battles carefully, you can’t win this one, it’s best if you stop digging that hole of yours any deeper.
What hole are you talking about? You think this bothers me? This is amusing content to me I couldn’t give a dam if they ban me from playing any Blizzard game ever again , they will never get my money again.
Blizzard is like the bud light of gaming to me.
This one, the one you keep digging by pouting over your own post getting locked and closed out after being called out.
Yes, and your continued dragging out of the post that preceded this shows that lol.
Took the words right out of my mouth
Ok bud lol
Neato
Yet you’re here harping over it.
You know what I did when I dropped AB products? Shared the occasional meme in person and talked about it with people occasionally, but I didn’t fire off in the Budweiser comment sections about it lol.
It’s funny that your way of showing you don’t care or care so little about a product is driving interaction with the product in a social fashion.
Congrats, you’re the exact kind of keyboard warrior that results in why the game hasn’t seen any meaningful impact to the way its changed, because you can’t just let go of it and actually boycott the product.
Drop the ragebait, it’s helping Blizzard and sinking you.
Then why are you making alt accounts for a blizzard game and are here on the forums with this (proven false) argument? What are you after really?
Dunno about you buddy but if someone calls me a liar i will respond. I never denied being toxic like this OP implies i said there is a report system being abused and thousands of players are being banned for things like “GG EZ” and that is bordering a Stalinist dystopia type of game where any little banter can be considered toxic and get you banned.
I knew they would lock my thread anyway its what they do, and im not sure what you are talking about because i pay nothing for this game and i don’t buy the battle pass. Once they banned my main account they got no more money from me.
My money goes to other companies and im not surprised they are losing money and laying off employees they probably banned half of their best paying customers.
Well considering the people who called you out for being a liar have the equivalent of CCTV footage of you committing the act, it might be best to plead the 5th and let your lawyer talk for you.
And with that, I’m done taking the bait. Best of luck buddy.
Daamn bro got a “Community Note” on the OW forums.
Is that like a promotion to high troll king of the forums or something?
Should’ve been standard practice from the beginning IMO
Holy hell, not seen anything like that in a while. Beautiful.
Attention.
