GM Response to the AV Bans

Both videos have been disproven multiple times, would you like to try again?

With? I cited a source, the least you could do is cite yours.

You didn’t cite a source. Do you… do you know what a source is? They were SQUELCHED. A squelch IS NOT a ban NOR a suspension.

It is, in fact, an account action. I gave you the two main streamers posting vids showing they were auto-actioned for a week by being mass reported.

I feel you are being disingenuous here. I’m also waiting for something other than “trust me, Asmon and Staysafe are wrong!”.

Yeah, but you said account ACTIONS, with an S, plural. And you’re completely wrong about that.

So please, stop making stuff up.

What on earth are you talking about? They could still login to the game Bubblechick. That proves that it was ONLY A SQUELCH. Did you even watch the videos you’re referencing?

They have data analysts poring over the data. Lol why bother lying. Everyone knows its automated

Sure, but they also did just release a bunch of new rewards and exp for BG’s so there’s also an increase in incentive to afk.

The chat mute (squelch) has been automated and in the game since 2007. Blizzard has never once tried to hide this and they’ve admitted it’s a thing dozens of times. They’ve been adamant that suspensions or bans are not automated from player reports for the entirety of this game’s existence. Chat mutes and account suspensions/bans are not the same thing and conflating them and putting them on the same level is disingenuous to say the least.

May of 2007, the automatic squelch from right-click reports is announced and implemented:

Well you heard blizzard boys, stats are all that matter to avoid an algorithm ban so fighting on the roads and just playing team slayer while ignoring objectives is back on the menu.

the system is automated people have proved it on stream by having their veiwers mass report them you uninformed shill. lmao get rekt

if the system WASN’T automated, they wouldn’t have to reverse THOUSANDS OF EXTREMELY OBVIOUS UNWARRANTED BANS (every ban wave lmao) the brown nosing in here hoo wee

only attackers should defend towers until they burn. Defending uncaptured is literally being AFK, you have whole 5 minutes to uncapture those

Unfortunately, it’s these very attackers who are getting banned if they happened to do no damage/healing while waiting for the node to cap.

People over here arguing semantics over what automatic means. If you are put on a list because it looks like you are afk to a computer system it is enough to be considered automatic, even if some human has to look at that data and action on it.

well, somehow i don’t belive that. I was farming av, got full a4, defended a lot of towers and didn’t get banned.

Maybe becuase those towers were attacked very often so i was fighting nonstop, i dunno.

But honestly after banwave AV became way more active

Aren’t they reversing bans? If so doesn’t that mean there was a bit of incompetence on their end to issue an unjustified ban to begin with if a real person did in fact issue those bans? Sounds to me like someone isn’t doing their job right if this is the case. There is a reason a LOT of players are furious right now and keep talking about this. And they should! We should not stop talking about this until something changes. The reporting system in this game needs to change.

it was hit or miss for defending some games they would come to bunkers some game they wouldnt to be banned for doing objectives is unacceptable

since reading these forums though it seems that some of the reports i received was because i played a DK again unacceptable i hope all the people that did the false reporting are getting banned

no this is idiotic. Banning people for 30 days, even if they did happen to go afk in a bg, is psychotic behavior. All the racist,gender bashing, swearing, etc… comments I see in classic trade chat 24/7 far more are worthy of a ban than someone who may or may not have gone afk in a bg. No this is just the players trying to go on a power trip.

Staysafe did a test 2 days ago to see if it reporting was automated or not, he had over 100 people reporting him…surprise surprise it was automated, he got kicked of the server and got muted within a minute. 7 days mute from a false report of ~100 people. What a joke.

Classic’s Reddit has a lot of funny memes on this topic.

a mute =/= ban

Mutes are automated because they don’t prevent a person from playing. Show me a vid where someone got mass reported and got actually banned… I’ll wait.
