I got reported by some hozenrump in a 5 man who didnt like that my prot warrior tank wasnt taking as much damage as HE thought I should be.
Idiot screaming at me in chat that hes reporting me, totally oblivious to the demi god healer we had AND the fact that I was chugging home made Rage Potions and mitigating my butt off. lol.
I HATE some people in this community anymore
This doesnât happen though in the real world. It only âhappensâ when a dumb streamer asks his chat to falsely report him.
And when they eventually get actioned, it is for abuse of the reporting system, which they actually did by organizing people to falsely report them.
ManâŠyou beat me to it
But was that what he was actioned for? Or are you assuming?
Legit curious.
It doesnât happen often, no. But it is possible.
That said, Iâm not giving OP the benefit of the doubt.
world of warcraft became antisocial. As much it was social 2004-2014, now it is extra antisocial. Better turn off chat.
People can report anything, BUT people giving penalties are just like them.
Yeah Iâm not going to assume anything beyond he was cursing at someone, based on the fact he thinks he was reported for whispers.
Trolling aside, just donât squabble with people in DMs.
Thereâs an old and hilariously rude Internet saying about how arguing online âŠ
Be quiet, daywalker. I get sunburn easily.

Iâm reminded of the time someone claimed they got banned for Racism because they allegedly tamed a Gorilla, named it Gorilla, had it reported for some reason which prompted Blizz to revert the name back to Gorilla, somehow noticed the name was switched from Gorilla to Gorilla and renamed it Gorilla again, somehow had it reported again, and went through the song and dance like two more times.
I donât remember exactly, but I think it was one of those cases where someone official eventually chimed in and said âfound the tickets, checked the logs, it wasnât being named Gorilla.â
Nah. I get that itâs a joke that people like to throw around, but people these days arenât anymore offended than people of old. Itâs just about different things.
My thoughts exactly. I donât count saying âhiâ or âbyeâ in mythic plus as talking, lol.
People speak even less in raid, unless the RL goes afk, or someone gets upset about loot.
Yep. I saw that Reddit post. They said they asked their guild to falsely report them.
Assuming they werenât making the whole thing up, it was yet another example of people organizing their guild or streamer chat to break the tos and file false reports.
It has never happened âorganicallyâ.
30 or whatever number of People donât just all randomly and independently decide to falsely report Bill for saying Hello in a chat channel.
Freedom of speech is for GOVERNMENTS. This is a homeowner telling you to get out of his property because they didnt like your behavior.
A nicer version is itâs like playing chess with a pigeon.
It doesnât matter how good you are, theyâre just gonna crap on the board and strut around like they won anyway.
But were they actioned for âfalse reportingâ or what they were being reported for?
You can get reported through any communication channel I believe.
Are you saying people whispered you just to report you and get you suspended for no reason? Or is there more context as to why people were reporting you?
Itâs been a while, but I recall it was for abuse of the report systems.
Their followers donât understand the difference between automated squealches, suspensions, and account closures, as they call all of the above âbansâ, so itâs impossible to get this concept through to them.
Correct.
These types of threads are great because thereâs a small chance a CS agent from Blizzard rolls in with the tea and spills it.
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequence
