Actually, Mirasol has been around for years as a MVP before the council. He’s right, you are wrong, seeing how you not wanting to post on the CS forums for clarification.

pretty much this is how it was before as well. None wanted to see boosting services flood the actual trade chat. It used to be frowned upon to skip the entire game to swipe your credit card. Hopefully we get back to that.

As a boosting community leader for several years dealing with hundreds of appeals, live chats, callbacks… i can assure you, i am very familiar with the processes. I fail to grasp how being a forum MVP with no boost advertising experience qualifies you to understand the system at all.
Blizzard doesn’t work with 3rd parties in regards of silences/suspensions and bans. Something smells, and it ain’t the fish.

As stated in the other post:
When you are silenced or suspended (automatically)… any advertiser will use a live chat or callback to get a instant response (atleast pre-covid when always online, now ticket forces a wait often)… which is why abuse scaled higher.
During these, game masters would apologise, overturn and suggest ‘posting a little less’ ‘posting with gold only in macro’ or something else irrelevant, and you’d be on your way.
Hell, i have had a single day where i needed THREE appeals. That was BFA though.
He can still do his thing and I hope false reporters get actioned

Well sadly, he will wait 1-2 days per time this happens just to get back on his account. Then… itll happen again. Nothing will happen to the reporters, never does.
This is true, as it has always been. Whenever someone brags about how they are paying their way by spending hours and hours grinding professions, my thought always is “you don’t value your time very highly, do you?”
Time is money, friend, or so the goblins say.
Which is just PR speak for “false reporting is too hard to moderate, so we ain’t gunna do it”.

I think you’re giving people far more credit than they deserve. They are too hasty to see that the activity is getting outlawed and don’t pay attention to the fact that it’s not actually outlawed and the action being taken is far more nuanced than just outright banning.

i’m just basing my remark on what we saw when input broadcasting was banned. people here refused to accept that multiboxing itself was not banned, even though the TOS says so in as many words. they insisted it was cheating and they would continue to report it anyway.
Lmao just like your first: Kekw.
How often are you advertising. People could be reporting you for spamming depending on that interval.
They only accept appeals via ticket. If someone uses Live Chat or Phone Callback to try to get around that then …they have to lie to do it.
MVP now for almost 10 years, mostly Customer Support and Tech Support. 10 years of talking with the Blizz folks who have been, and even train, GMs. Visiting Blizzard and getting to talk to them and see the system, at the time, in person. Knowing folks who worked as GMs at the Austin office. Knowing folks who still work at the Austin office.
I don’t know anything about the Boosting community. I only know the Blizzard side of the process.
You still have not posted on CS though with your questions and assertions.
I am going to guess you know they will tell you that you are incorrect.

It doesnt need to be that to see the problem lol. The community used to be against any of that in trade chat and group finder.
Boosting was always happening, but before it was just behind closed doors and PMs. People are fed up with all the Ads and bs that they had to tolerate all these years as boosting was becoming “normalised”. If people dont want to see that players dont wanna see the disgusting spam anymore can you blame them ?

Nah, the floodgates have already been opened and people have realized it’s insanely easy and profitable to boost.
Even if Blizzard brings the hammer down on boosting communities, they’ll get get replaced by every 2 bit guild and M+ group advertising their own servers. And Blizzard might not even do that with how many loopholes they’ve introduced in these new rules.
People are told to do that by blues. They’ve stated if you feel it is questionable behavior, report it and they’ll take a look at it.
