I think you need to understand how the system works.
A chat squelch from right click chat reports is the only automated portion of the system. Someone is squelched from speaking in chat, but they are not banned. A suspension or ban is handed down after the account is looked into by actual people. They determine if there is some sort of punishment or if it is lifted.
Were you chat squelched? Were you game silenced? Were you suspended or banned? These are all different things.
You’re not being attacked. You are being CORRECTED because of the misinformation you are spewing. There is no mass reports that instantly results in a suspension. Whatever you got hit with was something that likely happened days or weeks earlier, not that particular instance. It takes time for investigations so think back to you might have been doing days or weeks earlier.
Well, to begin with,
You are not being bullied because it’s not about you. Anyone saying and doing what you have would receive the same outcome. It’s eminently fair.
And it is absolutely not an automated system, no matter how much you think it is. Anything of consequence that happens to an account is the deliberate, well-considered decision of a GM or moderator. A human being has to make the choice, always.
We’re not going to let anyone repeat misinformation unchallenged.
Chances are you said something against TOS that they reported you for maybe if you’re lucky a blue will chime in and shed some light on what actually happened. The only automatic punishment is a boot off the game and a silence if enough people report you.
It’s insane you think you aren’t being manipulated for clicks and likes and subscriptions. When you let clickbait liars shape your reality, you’ve lost your right to have anything meaningful to say.
i never said anything of the sort.
So no squelch, which means it’s not a mass reporting incident. Which also means it’s not a game silence. So you were suspended from the game.
There are different systems for different things.
Chat reports can lead to either a warning or a squelch. Warnings are not on your record. It’s the game telling you that you might be out of line. A squelch is the automated shut down of whatever someone is ranting about in a chat channel after multiple reports.
After that… the squelch is sent to GMs to look into and they determine whether you receive a silence in game or a suspension.
But if you received no squelch, then that means your particular instance was an actual character report by players you were with. It doesn’t take multiple reports for a GM to look into those. It only takes one. And they have the logs to determine whether or not you are suspended.
Your response of claiming it’s “nonsense” is not true. The videos have all been debunked time and time again. And the automated system is only a chat squelch. Not a ban. Not a suspension. A chat squelch. Videos are either cut together to show false actions or are showing squelches.
Look, I understand that they are trusting misinformation here, but there’s no need to get personal and attack them for it.
Let the SFAs clear it up from here. We don’t need to go to these lengths.
fine i accept your logic but listen to this when I say I literally did nothing.
What have i been doing past few days in WoW: doing shuffle, blitz and random BG Q.
I was never more negative than the doomsayers and actively spoke against them.
I always peeled for our FC or protected are zones.
I literally played the game how it was meant to be played and said basically nothing to anyone yet you want to claim I am at fault here?
If that is my fault – for playing the game – and I am punished for this ; than I do not want to play anymore.
Well mostly because it doesn’t really happen. When it does, it usually is because some streamer is trying to go for clicks. They use dozens of followers and they end up triggering the squelch system meant to address gold spammers (which we’ve been fairly transparent about for years).
Players are allowed, and even encouraged, to report behavior that they believe may violate our Code of Conduct. While mistakes happen on occasion, no action is generally taken until/unless a violation is verified.
I’m sorry, but I don’t really understand how someone can be “power hungry” by correctly taking action when you violate our forum Code of Conduct. Looking at the two penalties that were applied for forum violations, both appear to be valid. In both instances were you disparaging other users. That’s just a moderator doing their job.
That isn’t true. In the recent reports I can see inappropriate language being used, such as using the F-word on a couple occasions and you seem to have a habit of insulting others, specifically by using a disparaging word that questions their intellect. While you use other disparaging terms such as “mouth breather” you also use one starting with an R, if you aren’t entirely certain.
It is interesting how often those who have no leg to stand on constantly bring up things that happened in the past, about people who are no longer here. We very much do take bullying and toxicity seriously… Which is why you were penalized for doing so.
Just to be clear, I’m not suspending your forum account because I’m on a power trip, I’m doing so because you violated our Forum Code of Conduct by using inappropriate language (the F word in your last post).
