Account suspension

Who am I trying to fool literally gave two examples of what I said I am not fooling anyone and to be frank I honestly don’t really care about the suspension nor do I know what I said other than those two examples. The perma on overwatch wasn’t me as I said it was the minor I don’t even play ow though the minor has made a second account and still plays ow. Lastly not really control issues ive gone since sls which was my first ever time since the start of the game where i began to have account actions ive been playing this game since launch with no account actions till sls which most are from said minor and not me ill take full responsibility for something I did and im forced too if said minor does something hence I bought two other wow accounts on the same one. Though with how wow works even if they were to close my main account I can just move to another account which has all my stuff saved anyway, all my mounts, items, transmogs, and achievements that’s kind of a flaw is it not even if I was to get permad on here I can just account hop and I’m back to normal though I’m never going to get permad cause I’m disabling chat after this isn’t worth saying a word in pvp especially shuffles where people itching to report lol.

Well, you do. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here asking for what you said, or appealing it.

But if you insist that you honestly don’t care, then ok.

If you are the registered account holder, you are responsible for everything that happens on the account. If your minor is getting accounts permabanned, then that is still on you.

I 100% agree that it’s a flaw. I think there should be more permanent actions for skipping to other accounts to keep playing and being toxic. But alas, I do not work for Blizzard, so I don’t get to make these decisions.

But just to warn you, they can (and will) shut down entire Battle.net accounts for continued violations. Along other Battle.net accounts that you may have. It’s probably best to just follow the rules, instead of going to so much trouble to have “backups” in case they catch you.

Good. The problem is the toxicity, not the people trying to get rid of the toxicity. If you can’t play the game without being toxic, then disabling chat is 100% the correct move.

It’s to a point of not caring that I can live without knowing what I said to receive a suspension after a entire year of playing in df. also, People in shuffles report for anything so that’s not good you could say gg and they will report you though ten times out of ten that isn’t going anywhere. Not to mention wows report system kinda sucks As shown by many diffrent people if you just get a group to mass report its ggs for you though you could probs appeal it not saying I got mass reported. I’m not getting my account shut down anytime soon All my accounts are gonna have chat turned off not running the risk Was planning on leveling my 23rd warrior today guess I got to wait sadge.

you feel that was an error, which does happen, appeal. You will get a template answer - but you should be able to ask for a snippet of the chat lines around the time of the infraction. It won’t be all of it, but it should be enough to remind you of the conversation.

I have never seen Blizzard provide any data on what the ban has been for. Ever. Over multiple appeals.

Depending on what the account was close for, like botting, they never have as that’s what bot makers would want to try to bypass Blizzard programs.

They sure are not on top of the Botters seen so many in the world on dragon isles and wow classic.

For chat violations they will at times provide snippets of what was reported. For other TOS violations like cheats, they don’t, simply because that would provide tips on how to avoid those.

Bans were for saying something in chat.

No matter what you read on the internet, that is not how reports or suspensions work on wow. There have been various blue posts confirming this. It only takes one report, and if a violation occured a penalty will be levied by a human GM. Mass reports don’t matter if no violation occured.

Everyone who has come to this forum saying about being mass reported for language and at least one for a name violation found out they did indeed say some rather not so nice stuff.

If you say toxic things and or curse in chat and get reported you will get a account action. If you can keep your chat clean and no cursing then you have zero to worry about.

I mean I am not claiming I got mass reported and I indeed called an outlaw player bad I got no regrets on calling him bad especially when he tried to throw the round with me because I said he was bad at outlaw still got that 4-2 though so im happy ether way. Also we ain’t got a wave of tuning in decades on the pvp side where the tuning at man :smiling_face_with_tear:. Imma keep a buck why does cussing in a pg 13 game result in bans I get if it was something horrid but saying the f word which im not finna say on here while we got our boi garrosh calling slvyanass a female dog is considered bad why the npcs get to cuss but I can’t :smiling_face_with_tear: bring back mage tower appearances while we at it.

Because it’s Blizzard’s game, and those are their rules.

There are other games out there that may allow that toxicity, but it’s not allowed here.

Two different sets of rules. The static content Blizzard makes is reviewed against a rating system and is held to T 13.

Player created content like chat and names, esp in real time, is not rated. It falls under a second set of rules as per the EULA and the sub policies covering chat and names. For ALL Blizzard games, despite the ratings, the rules are very family friendly. They have been since WoW released in 2004. They have never allowed profanity or masked profanity from players. No, the profanity filter does not allow it. It is there so parents can block people who can’t follow the rules.

they don’t allow cussing but letting them botters run free lol. They frl need to find a way to stop them permanently.

That’s an ongoing battle. They normally ban them in waves after they learn how to break the program and investigate if the accounts/credit cards etc are stolen.

Then the botters find a way around it and the cycle starts over.

If anyone can come up with a way to do that they will be a hero, and very very rich. No company that I know of has managed to defeat bots once and for all. It is always a cat and mouse game. They break and ban one, the bot maker changes it. Bot maker makes a new one. Same with antivirus battles.

Unless there is zero way for a player to have input to a game - someone will try to cheat and bot it. Distinguishing between real player input and automated player input is not easy, esp with AI running some of the bots.

They banned almost 300k for botting/cheating in December alone though, if it makes you feel a tiny bit better.

Something else, others cheating, or breaking rules, does not mean Blizzard should not enforce the chat/name rules. Much like cops still enforce speed limits even though detectives are also chasing murderers.

It is actually two diff teams. The Hacks team handles bots/cheating. GMs handle chat/name reports.

They don’t allow both.

They close exploitive accounts quite frequently.

It definately is a constant battle between developers and those that would sell products that allow cheating and botting. But this has nothing to do with your violation, which you seem to have posted a few times you have accepted, so I am not sure why this thread headed in this direction.

If you need further assistance in how to appeal though, then ask away.

Just for clarification it looks like you have had several penalties prior to this one. Two in 2022 and one in 2021.

Looks like for language. There are several uses of the S word, disparaging remarks about someones mental capacity. Nothing terribly egregious, but it was that coupled with the history on the account that resulted in the duration you received.

We don’t “let” anything of the kind. Comparing addressing inappropriate language and botting is, well… ridiculous is the only word I can use here. Botting and other exploitation is a massive industry with methods and programs that are constantly being improved to circumvent the steps we take to block, break and automatically detect them. It is a constant battle. Sometimes we’re winning, sometimes we’re losing, but that doesn’t mean we allow it. Far from it.

I know of the two in 2022 and 2021 if i remember 2021 and 2022 were both chat silences which wasn’t me but of course I’m held accountable for people on my account and the second was the boosting from me posting in lfg if my memory serves me right.
lol I now know exactly which person it was lol It was a monk in a bg blitz I got him pulled up rn too idk what s word it was but again I take full responsibility for what I did and don’t regret it one-bit ngl bro had me offended calling me boosted and saying that i payed for glad which I am not dropping 1k for glad in wow. Me and that monk were going back and forth arguing about me having 2400 I remember it exactly and if it’s what I’m thinking the s word ends with nile right. Anyway thanks I just wanted to know who it was now I can play wow 1 happy.

Just to cover this. Only you are permitted to be on the account. The only exception would be that you may allow a single minor child, that you are the parent or legal guardian of to access the account.

There were a few reports, so it wasn’t just that incident. :slight_smile:

No, it’s the s-word that is 4 letters long.
