Blacklist addon needs to be removed from game

Yeah but I looked the mount so I just bought it at the half off holiday sale I believe. That or might have been bundled with the yr sub. Regardless I have the mount but I don’t play classic so it’s possible they just bought it separate.

The kind of people who moderate server discords are the bottom of the barrel, anyway. I would think you’d get along with them well.

curseforge broke the scambuster addon but it still exists on github.

Why? What reason do you have for this other than a very self-driven and unethical one? Normal people don’t do this. Normal people aren’t on blacklists either.

I’ve seen what those mods do. They’re fine. A lot of stuff isn’t considered “bad enough” for blacklists. Usually, if it’s for something like dipping on an SR, there’s a really callous and uncaring attitude shown from the offender afterward too.

No loss to Faerlina. Too bad for Benediction. Some stuff does get shared between those servers though, FYI. It’s nice that there’s a cost for the transfer and the faction change so at least you’re taking some other action by spending the $50.

Im not worried about the loss. I’m just sick of explaining my situation over and over again beating a dead horse. I shouldn’t have to constantly explain to groups what I did almost a year ago. I admitted to it. What more do you want me to do? I’ve apologized for what I did. What more do you want me to do that I already haven’t done? I shouldn’t have to beg anyone to be taken off of a list that I’ve been on for the past year. That’s excessive and I know that half the people responding are players from the Faerlina discord themselves. It’s obvious. Who in their right mind thinks it’s acceptable to keep someone on a blacklist for almost a year? You might as well go on YouTube, search for “wow ninja” and start adding player names of the videos from vanilla. This is not an acceptable way of getting retribution for a situation. Grow up.

Benediction does use the blacklist :slight_smile:

At least they won’t have to worry about me making their blacklist. :slight_smile:

I really don’t have a dog in the race since I don’t play on either server but I will say that if this is something you’ve done in the past, you’ll do it again in the future (or at least that is the general rule).

There is a saying, Leopards don’t change their spots. There is a reason for this saying.

Now maybe you did learn your lesson but once you break a trust, it is super hard to get it back and it take a really long time. This is a prefect example of: Past sins cast long shadows.

because they’re lying. There’s only two people on the faerlina blocklist for anything to do with a ZA run + warbear

Both ninja looted the bear to themselves and left the raid. People who get their SR and leave are not added to the list, they can be called out in other channels but not listed.

They do appeals. You are not entitled to a favorable outcome though.

Which is a very rude thing to do. Definitely deserving of being put on a blacklist. Other people don’t generally like playing with others that have zero regard for their time.

It’s your inability to show your actions have changed from what you have done in the past. An 8-month silence is a pretty brutal punishment and I can’t think of how egregious the chat logs would have to be to warrant that. And how you’ve replied to this thread is perhaps the biggest indicator of what your future behavior may look like.

It has nothing to do with being a bad player or not. It’s about whether people want to play with you or not.

Sounds like the addin needs some addition. The blacklisted player should be able to offer an acknoeledgement of what they did along with an apology, and then also to be able to note repeat offenders.

Question though. If you can afford to pay for a server transfer, why not just pay for a name change.

And this addon, if it does do what you are claiming, is one of the few ways that a player can actually be held accountable. This so called server accountabilty is a bunch of bs. Ppl are jerks all the time, server accountability does not exist. This addon does though.

I think what’s worse are the serial reporters. they waste more of blizz’s time and should be punished harsher.

Yeah I did learn. I haven’t had an accusation post made about me since this incident has happened and all I do is run gdkps. I don’t do anything else. I do bgs and that’s where I get pinged for the addon.

Because at this point I’m so over being pinged for something I did over a year ago and I’d rather go somewhere else where the gdkp pots are bigger.

And like I’ve said. I learned a very valuable lesson about it. I tried to make amends. I tried apologizing to the raid leader, but as soon as he saw me apologizing. He threw me on ignore and I shared the screenshot to the mod and he told me I should reach out in discord. I tried that and I got blocked instantly.

Every now and then I get removed from a group, but it always makes up for an interesting story as to how I got my Amani War Bear.

Wtf is an SR

Name changes don’t get you off the blacklist, because it uses your character guid, not just your character name.

Scambuster attempted to do a few things differently:
cross-checking could be done using a player’s Globally Unique IDentifier (GUID), avoiding the possibility of name-matches being false-positives, and allowing communities to track toxic or predatory users across name changes within the same WoW Classic server.

A costly one, for sure.

Well let this be another lesson: You are not entitled to forgiveness. That is something you EARN. It is not just handed to you because you said the “magic” words.

The way you speak here suggests to me that you aren’t actually that apologetic and you didn’t really learn anything from it. I suspect this flippant attitude you have also seeped into your apology and appeal, which is likely why both failed.

Interesting. Yeah, I haven’t been on there for a while but I remember it being really hard to get on the blacklist itself. From what I recall it’s mostly group leaders stealing GDKP pots and things along that line.

My vibe is that based on his wording the guy is not probably not lying about being on the blacklist just so he can troll the forums or whatever but he’s probably not telling the whole story. Or he’s on another server.

Okay we’re over the internet. How am I suppose to make it look more sincere? So you think I should serve a life sentence over something I did damn near ago? That’s pretty excessive if you ask me. This is sole reason why I feel like addons like these will always be and are toxic to the community. How do you expect just to learn anything if we’re just stuck on the list? How do you expect us to progress as players if we’re on the list? You want us to take accountability for our actions, but it’s hard to move on from this when you got the constant ping reminder of what you did last year. Even blizzard doesn’t punish players for this long unless it’s something far more serve. I got what I deserved 100%. I’m not blaming the person who made the accusation thread. I just don’t feel like this is the appropriate way to serve justice. If anything it just makes me not want to play the game anymore and cancel my sub if I knew what I’d would just lead to this and if that’s what you guys want then consider it done. I don’t need the constantly reminder of what I did. I don’t need players who don’t even know me or know what I did to tell me who I am as a player because I know my self better than any mod or anyone on this forum. I’ve never had any accusations after this incident and saying that “you’re likely to do it again” is just coming from a biased standpoint.

Maybe not crack jokes about it? Take actual accountability and offer up a genuine apology? I think doing those may help.

I’m not seeing how filtering out bad acting members of the community is toxic.

None of us can predict the future. I’m certainly not saying that you are likely to do anything again. I have no way of knowing that.

What I am saying is that there is a pattern of behavior here that doesn’t really resonate with the majority of the Classic Community.
