I hold no opinions, but it has been confirmed that violations such as Abusive Chat are verified by a Blizzard representative before account actions are issued (source). Furthermore there have been many instances where proven toxic players are often called out by Blizzard representatives:
No, I have not, but I am one of the forum MVPs and I work hard to provide detailed responses and help players get to the right resources they need and I also have direct communication with many of Blizzardâs customer service representatives. However, I know have been reported many times falsely, but I have never come close to even a warning.
Not being a jerk. Iâm being honest with you.
Would you not be upset or annoyed if you got game privilages removed despite not breaking any rules?
Because they have before, and have even admitted their wrong doings. Whoâs to say they wouldnât make another mistake like this again?
Well Iâve been suspended from the forums many times, and I can personally say appealing doesnât do crap.
You post a detailed explanation of why you donât deserve it, and 5 seconds later you get a response saying âwe have reviewed this matter and found in favor of our original decision. No further appeals will be reviewedâ, meanwhile even if you did deserve it 5 seconds was barely long enough to read your complaint, let alone review the situation.
^That. It takes quite a load of reports to have actions taken against you. Sorry, but your story is balogney. At best, maybe you got reported for playing torb and symmetra at times when it wasnât working. But since you claim youâve been 1 week away from comp - I think you are hiding something.
I mean you can check my stats. I did post my Overbuff page. I havent played since thursday when I got the day suspension.
Please note, I am strictly referring to game account actions.
Fair enough. So I assume you have no knowledge or experience of forum account actions? Or are you just trying to stay on topic
False reports are generally due to hero choice. Your only âunpopularâ heroes are Torb and Symm, which you have a total of 3 hours on collectively-- only enough to gather approx. 40 reports on if every single person on your team reported you. Which⌠I doubt. Needless to say, Iâve never heard of users collectively singling out a teammate to load reports on.
Perhaps you were having poor games, or ignoring callouts in chat. Even then, though, I donât see many people reporting you on those basis alone.
I have been forum account actioned once, and I supported their decision and did not appeal.
did you meme it up, Wyoming? Donât lie. ;>
Are you asking what did I do? I wonât go into details, but I got really mad a post that had abusive language and posted a small troll response. Both the original post and my reply was actioned appropriately.
I have won most of my games played on torb and sym though. So I clearly havent been trolling with them.
Well my point was they donât even review the appeals for forum accounts, so you didnât miss out on much by not doing so
ohhhh. My only forum action so far has been for goofing off with the formatting options available, aha.
I assumed that it was the same for you, since youâre always so chill! (that your action was over general silliness, that is.)
Which makes the question of why users would falsely report you even more odd. Thatâs the most common reason.
You know what, thatâs funny, thatâs the same thing I got suspended for! Except in my case the individual to whom I was responding was NOT actioned, which was the basis for my appeal.
Maybe they report me just during the pick a hero phase before anything begins?
Even still, 40 reports is not enough to generate action. (afaik) AND thatâs assuming everyone in every single game reported you right off the bat. I think itâs been stated previously that it takes close to a collective of about 100 reports for the system to automatically enact a silence.
The only thing I know that churns out an action faster is abusive chat-- which is very easy to verify.
Well it says on overbuff I have 18 games played between torb and sym. So I guess if each player on my team reported me each game (unlikely) that would be 90 reports from teammates, not even enemies.
