So I’ve submitted bug reports in-game, finally submitted a ticket to GM’s tagged as on-going harassment. Long story short; I was chat banned back in September/Oct in Classic WoW on the Smolderweb server. After the chat ban, some players randomly have me ignored still. If I type /who class 30-60 for example; about 35% of the players I whisper have me on ignore, however these players don’t physically have me on their ignore list when I’ve addressed them in voice chat/discord. So I asked a guildie named Spewkie-Smolderweb to help me resolve it and provide proof that this is on-going. The players that are ignoring me do not have me on their ignore list, but I’m assuming its all related to the original chat ban.
– This is ruining my gameplay experience. (I’ve never had this problem in retail versions of WoW after a chat ban) If I can’t whisper people because i’m on some hidden ignore list, it makes forming groups and overall social interaction unenjoyable and nearly impossible, it’s like a permanent chat ban.
–I have a screenshot from Spewkie-Smolderweb attesting to this issue, but it says I am unable to link it. (I’m not familiar with using forums)
This is a screenshot from Spewkie-Smolderweb proving that I am Not physically on his ignore list, however he is unable to see my messages in guild chat/whisper/LFG etc, and on my end it tells me he has me on ignore. This is not JUST Spewkie, it is a very high percentage of players on Smolderweb. I’m just using Spewkie as evidence of the problem.
–Unable to submit this screenshot as well.
Also when I submitted a ticket in-game, 4 separate GM’s messaged me responses that did not help to resolve the issue, so I continue to Mark as Unresolved. Can a GM just check my ticket history to see the responses? 2 of which were of absolutely no help and the automated responses were about things I didn’t mention (RealID/Bnet). There is no issue with Real ID/Bnet friends, it is strictly in-game Smolderweb alliance players.
I’ve also taken the GM’s advice of reformatting my UI, using the repair tool etc etc.
When I create an alt I am able to whisper the players who have me ignored. (not attempting to bypass the ignore feature)
So I asked to possibly remedy the situation using a character name-change, one GM told me character name changes are not possible, but I feel in this situation to resolve my issue it’s at least worth a shot to see if it fixes. (I’m not asking for a character rename, I just want this issue resolved and if that’s what it takes so be it) It’s been an issue for several months however I was not very active on this character so I didn’t think much of it, I assumed players were actually ignoring me but it turns out they aren’t.
Do you realize that everyone in the world can read this? Please remove the name in your post. Thanks.
I don’t understand what you mean, what name? I was told by a GM to post this on Bug Report forums. I don’t post on the forums so I’m not savvy
Your guild persons name if it is not your account. They do not deserve to be associated with your issue.
??? of course its my account. I’ve been playing since vanilla.

This also shows a " name and shame "
Yeah i’m not reporting anyone… its a bug report. The GM told me to create this because the 4 previous GM’s were unable to help. Spewkie is trying to help me, which the GM suggested as well “have your friends who do not have you on ignore add to the thread”.
Maybe I worded something wrong to give you the impression I am trying to report a player or discussing a report against another player, but i’m not. Sorry if it was confusing. I just want this resolved
Hi,
Spewkie here to help Healbee figure this issue out! I’ve given him access to the screenshot he mentions and agreed to be used as an example to help him resolve this. I am able to contact him on multiple characters, except “Spewkie” my paladin. I did have Healbee on my ignore list at one point in the game and would like to be able to contact him again. But he does not show on my ignore list!
What is strange is that I am able to whisper him without issue, but he is unable to return a message without his warning of being ignored in bold red letters.
Hope this gets resolved!
My ticket was closed and marked as Resolved in the game. For the second time a GM named Keith (who is a manager at blizzard) has told me to have Spewkie contact you all, which he posted above.
Obviously, it would be easy to replicate the problem – implement a chat ban, whisper other players (it says X-player is ignoring you) during a chat ban, once the chat ban is over, if you’re unable to whisper those players After the chat ban, there’s your issue and replicated problem.
This character is socially unplayable, even if players added and removed me from their ignore list, I still cannot whisper them because it says they have me ignored. This is an issue still and telling me twice to have Spewkie contact you while we’re trying to show you screenshot proof of this issue, and then marking my ticket as Resolved when you haven’t seen the evidence seems like no one cares. Is there a way to show you our screenshots?
We could have both characters standing on top of eachother with ignore lists open, and in our chat log you would clearly see he does not have me on ignore (like the majority of other players I whisper, yet it tells me “Spewkie is ignoring you.”) That makes no sense and it’s obviously a bug on blizzards’ end. I want this resolved. Do I have to message every 60 on my server to show you proof in the logs that they aren’t receiving my whispers/messages?
For Keith to say “IF you’re getting an ignore hit it means the person has your character ignored.” is seriously false, which is is the whole point of my ticket and submitting everything.
are they using addons? Have them disable addons and then try to find you on their ignore list
Heya! I thought that was a good idea to disable my addons so I tried it. Unfortunately no difference. He still cannot contact me and he’s not on my ignore list.
I’m submitting an in-game ticket now as requested from the GMs and Healbee.
