And if I did? What are you gonna do about it?
Is it? Can you point to anything official that shows this is the case?
As far as I know right now, I got into trouble for posting guild/raid recruitment messages in LookingForGroup.
lmao this guy, your weird lmao
So I’m weird.
This seems like a somewhat rude statement to make.
Yet you are here complaining.
Bro you that bored? just bounce lmao. you’re clearly a hater
You can ignore me if you want.
You do you kenfo
This is very rude of you, and being negative the whole time. I do agree fresh people or returning players are anti gdkps and “could” be false reporting. It’s a gray area and it’s either you risk it or don’t risk it.

I’m blunt, nothing new. Not really false reporting if they are getting punished with suspensions and not being overturned.

Whatever you say
There is a lot of speculation going on about this. It is one of the reasons why we aren’t supposed to discuss specific account actions.
- “Abusive chat” would not be posting a GDKP run in LFG.
- If it was misidentified and was about posting in LFG it would be because of the date not GDKP. LFG is for current events, not a raid happening in two or three days.
- “Abusive chat” would more likely be how you responded to someone else and not your recruiting post.
- Mass-reporting is not the thing that players seem to think it is. Other than streamers “testing” the squelch I don’t think I’ve seen any mass-reporting confirmed by a Blue. Chat violations only take one report. All “mass reporting” does it get a chat line viewed by a GM faster. It doesn’t automatically become abusive chat just because a player or a group of players reported it.

Here’s a good rule of thumb for you folks selling GDKP runs:
If it has to do with gold in any way, shape, or form, put it in the Trade chat. Because gold has to be Traded. (Yeah yeah, it can be mailed, too, but my impression is that you trade the gold in the raid once the loot drops.)
This’ll avoid any further complications and actions on you guys’ part with advertising.

Honestly? That reads like someone doing guild recruitment, which isn’t appropriate for the LFG channel. LFG is generally used to put together a run now (or in the immediate future), not several days from now, or some time later this week.

It creates a negative perception with at least some of the players reading your messages, and that perception would seem to be enticing at least some of those players to report your messaging. Maybe a more subtle name, something a little less in-your-face, could help avoid some of that unwanted negative attention.
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned here (though with all the back-and-forth, I could have missed it):
If you were actioned, it was most likely not for this. Investigations are not that fast, especially with ticket times as long as they are.
Regardless, the email you received will have instructions for appealing. Even though ticket times are longer than anyone (including Blizzard) would like, and they may not get to your appeal before it’s over, it would remove the “black mark” from your account.

it technically is. It is made with the right idea in mind but is very easy to abuse if handled by the wrong people and you cant trust that the right people are going to handle it 100% of the time.
And you run the risk of doing it with dishonest people who will report you out of spite when they did not get what they believed they should have received even though everything was discussed before hand.
Gold dragon kill points didnt even originate in WoW and has been around for decades. I dont see why the WoW player base is spamming this nonstop back to back on multiple threads all of a sudden as though this is something that is new.
This has been around for 20+ years maybe even close to 30 years now.
Edit: Oh to answer your question it is not against the rules if done the way it was intended. Doenst mean I agree with it though. But that is how it is until things change.
