I’ve also heard a saying that 69% of statistics are made up on the spot!
The fact is, the only people who know the true context are you, and the blues. Nobody on these forums knows. Somewhere in the middle is the truth, and if the blues are literally doing their job, then that should say enough.
Did you read that blue post? They said they would overlook it if not for yadda yadda about inappropriate chat. The same chat which wouldn’t have been noticed if not for the mass reporting. Do you get it, yet?
While we have you Mirasol, that policy you linked from the 9.2.7 patch with Trade (Services). Does this channel exist in Classic/SOD? If it doesn’t, where should GDKP be advertised based on this?
It seems the policy holds up right for retail but if the Services channel doesn’t exist in Classic, that sounds like the potential for conflicting rules.
Is there an intent to sell? It could be an intent to buy. I’ve done this. New toon, I run an gdkp and am top bidder. I’m essentially paying others, except raid leading and pulling my weight. This isn’t buying a carry - they want loot too.
Again, for the fourteenth time, this is moot because you and many others report for gdkp’s advertising IN TRADE CHAT too.
I’m tired and the circular arguments that you and others have wanted to nitpick over these past few days are all bleeding together. That’s my fault for trying to help explain and maybe offer some clarity but I’m tripping over my own fingers here.
You were sanctioned. You were posting in the wrong place and you were being spammy with it.
What is boils down to now is you have been told where you can post.
You’re of course welcome to try and push your luck again if you don’t want to believe the correct information that has been given to you, but chat infractions tend to double each time.
All of the back-and-forth nit picking about what is and isn’t a service, where advertising should go, what channels are for what - Blizzard has made it pretty clear. Even if there isn’t blue text spelling it out explicitly for you in a manner you would prefer - the fact that sanctions are happening should be clear enough.
