I told a player to shut up

That would be ridiculous

Definitely a guilty conscience type of post.
Surprised it didn’t start with “my friend said…”
Some choice words were said alongside “Shut Up.”

lol no

I don’t know, I’m just asking because I’m a little paranoid lol. I know that saying offensive words is against the rules, my primary language is Portuguese, but from what I researched “shut up” can be offensive.

What do you mean from what you researched?
You said it with intent to offend someone you were arguing with lmao. You know perfectly well what it means and its connotation. You didn’t mistakenly think you were asking them nicely to cease communications?

But it’s a non issue. Even if they reported you, nobody cares.

Unless you said other stuff, of course.

I was banned for 6 months under reason of “botting” (literally one and only time I have ever been banned) and no matter what I did, nothing came of it and I had to deal with it.

For the record, I’m someone who barely understands how to add steam patch files / mods and scared I’ll screw something up, no way in hell do I know anything about botting or how to do it.

:popcorn:

The world is dying if someone gets banned for telling someone who is being critical to you to shut up.

Of course I don’t know perfectly, I live in Brazil and I don’t know anything about your culture. Something may be considered offensive here and may not be in other cultures.
For this reason I’m asking if this could be offensive enough to trigger a ban.
And my intention was just for him to stop talking.

You’re lying.

oh absolutely not lol. In fact during a battleground today, we had a warrior in our group that just would not shut up and was yelling during the whole 45 minute event. Finally I went absolute Richard Pryor/Andrew Dice Clay on him and like 10 other people piped up and cheered. My account is still very active, and I am also still waiting on a phone number I asked him for. :rofl:

I mean, I regularly troll about Trump in BGs and have yet to get any form of punishment. I think you’ll be ok.

Unlikely.

It takes an established pattern of bad behavior- especially if you’re not disguising screaming slurs at people as ‘shut up’- to get banned.

Plus telling someone who’s resorting to trash talking their own team to shut up is technically, objectively correct behavior. Although I’d just report the person trash talking for gameplay sabotage and leave it at that if you’re in pvp. Because that’s what trash talking is.

I may be wrong on this but I think there’s a penalty ladder you have to climb before they action your account. I don’t know if the social contract changed this, it may be an old system. Unless it’s something really bad, which what you did isn’t really.

And honestly, telling someone to “shut up” in pvp is pretty mild if that’s the worst you’ve done.

I can’t believe you said the S word

did you say “shut up” or did you say “shut up you beeeep”
and/or other colorful words you cannot say here? if its the latter then ya see ya lol

If they hammered me for 6 months and I was totally innocent, there is no way in hell I would return to the game and give them another red cent.
