Did Blizzard not spend the last five years claiming that advertisers in lfg and calendar spammers were all from compromised accounts.

The OP claimed that before Authenticators EVERY WoW account would get compromised eventually, which is not at all true. That is what Myzrym was talking about.
As for the terrible spam - it is made up of compromised accounts, accounts paid for with gold/bnet balance, accounts paid for with stolen credit cards (often from âcustomersâ).
They are not legitimate customers like you or me who are engaging in those spam activities. They are throw away accounts that they have thousands of, and steal or make thousands more. That is how they have always done business. Those are well organized criminal groups who steal accounts, financial info, and engage in illicit currency and services trading for games. It is a HUGE business, mostly out of reach of Western law enforcement.

I mainly keep getting back to back posts removed everytime I say anything negative about cata. Even when it was 100% fact to my postâŠremoved. And it was CS who flagged it, CS who removed it. So yea thatâs a little odd. That has never happened ever before until now. It showed to me that CS flagged and removed it. ButâŠyou can talk bad about DF all day everyday, can do so with Wrath, can do so with SoD, can do so with HCâŠbut say one single word against CataâŠthe post gets removed super fast. So⊠that points to Cata as being the one that Blizzard is hoping most for to succeed. Even DF is not treated with such reverence as that.
Think it is AI flagging the posts or people within the CS?
You need to come to grips with the fact that you donât get to talk to human. The human support of the past was abused and was ONLY intended for billing issues. But people with non-billing issues called, bogged down the lines. So now we all have this system.
Been the case for over a decade now that you need to game the system to speak to a human before you can have your issue dealt with. Thatâs not just blizzard everyone is like that. The bots donât exist to help you they just filter out chaff.
oooh another conspiracy thread.
doesnât even make sense.
CS wouldnât âflagâ a post.
theyâd just remove it if it was in violation.

If the posts are getting removed, either the thread is going off the rails past the point where mods canât just delete a few comments to get it back on track, or thereâs something problematic about how youâre saying it.

I stated how Cata lost subs during the expac. That is true.
I stated that it destroyed the old level 60 classic world and changed the zones and messed with the talent system. Also true. Those are TRUE facts. And it was in a Wrath thread that was talking about Cata.

a post doesnât need to be breaking rules to get removed⊠and CS does not âflagâ posts as per your NON FACTUAL claim.

When you are given an answer by a GM many times, they will eventually tell you to stop putting in a ticket on that same issue. No means no, or whatever answer you got.
You seem to have a lot of complaints about moderation, but reading your posts I would wager this stems from not following the rules. The forums, game, etc follow a very family friendly policy. I could be wrong, and that is not what you were ticketing about. Just a guess.
It sounds like a semi-automated system. My main couldnât get the Gravitational Dispenser schematic - the one I spent money and time leveling engineering and Dragonscale Expedition once I discovered how useful it is in pvp. Just disappeared from existence in the game. After several automated responses Iâm left with an unresolved bug, no schematic. But the system sure considers the matter resolved.
Recently been doing rando bgs and the amount of bots/afkers/hiders is wild. Calling them out in chat to get teammates to report them afk apparently gets them upset, and theyâve even whispered me saying theyâd retaliate with reports. Chat banned for a week. Appeals got the same automated responses. Youâd think itâd be the other way around.
I think thereâs probably people somewhere behind the scenes though. I was surprised when a buddy got an actual person to resolve a matter that I think a lot of long time players would consider unresolvable. He changed servers without creating a char to check/save the name - he only checked the website. It was taken, he ticketed/appealed and they gave him a free name change.
Thatâs really messed up and rude bro, and I have in other posts.
Well youâd lose that wager. Just because you want to defend them even though you stated yourself that some things are broken doesnât mean that I or others arenât slighted after supporting them for over a decade.
They arenât. Stop believing half doctored stuff on the internet thatâs out of context.
Template responses are given as a triage method while they deal with more important game breaking problems that others are having. Yes, put in another ticket and you wonât get them sending you a template. But templates are there to read to see if the problem can be solved on your own first.
This is not a helpful way of dealing with things and never should have been implemented, it shows a clear disdain for the player base.
Looks like it requires Renown 9 with Dragonscale Expedition, which is pretty low. Only costs 50 currency units.
If you learned something and it does not show as available to craft, check your profession filters drop down. That is usually the cause of a pattern not showing up. They donât just go âpoofâ 
I donât see any bugs listed in the Wowhead comments about the item. https://www.wowhead.com/item=198781/schematic-gravitational-displacer
Even if it was a bug, GMs are not allowed to fix bugs individually unless given the tools by Devs for a specific issue. Otherwise when the game gets the bug fixed the manually adjusted accounts can have issues. It often make things worse so they rarely let GMs touch bugs, even if it is a known bug. This does not seem to be bugged at least by the Wowhead comments.
EDIT
Unless you mean this which has to be discovered I guess, but would also not vanish.
humor me.
repeat yourself.
itâs not rude to ask.
if you didnât want people to ask, you had the option to keep your thoughts to yourself.
you chose not to.
âŠand i tried to find out via your post history, and i can see why your posts would be getting removed.
lots of name calling and masked profanity⊠but sure, play the victim.

This and all the references to being silenced is what led me to consider the issue is likely related to language penalties.
Either that or it was just something the GMs canât help with and they would not take âsorry but we canâ't do thatâ as an answer.
It is rare the GMs get to the point of telling you to stop putting in tickets or it will be considered abuse of the CS system/staff.
