In terms of using an example of text, you are in fact allowed to do that.
Otherwise nobody would know what you were talking about without context.
and again, those are words that are used in game by the game its self.
If they can do it, why can’t we? The developers put that in there, not me. If they don’t want that language used by us in game, then lead by example and remove the language from the game.
It’s just outright hypocritical.
You are not the developers, you are under a very different ruleset which you agreed to abide by.
This isn’t the place to argue or give feedback on the rules, either. You agreed to follow them, and it would seem you did not.
The difference between you and NPC’s, is that you’re not a NPC and they are.
It’s like a viewer, watching a cinematic experience that was crafted according guidelines. Your behaviour is guided by the ingame conduct while the cinematic experience is guided by the ESRB.
They don’t have to show proof. It’s their game, and their rules. They could action you for having a name that starts with “M” if they wanted (please don’t do this, Blizzard 
), but they are not in the business of screwing players over just for kicks.
While false positives can happen, they are exceedingly rare for chat/social violations. It’s pretty cut and dry. If you can’t remember how profane and toxic you were, then that’s an issue you need to work on yourself.
No, someone reported you because you broke the rules. Blizzard investigated and found that you did.
That’s it,. Any motivation you think they had, whether true or imaginary, is irrelevant. The only relevant piece is if you broke the rules or not. If you did, you get actioned. If you didn’t, you don’t get actioned.
Yes, there is. They have been quite clear about that.
Can’t teach something to someone who isn’t willing to learn…
It’s never a violation to report someone to Blizzard. If someone thinks you are breaking the rules, they have every right to report it to Blizzard.
The only exception to this is if a group of people are reporting for spam to get people squelched. If Blizzard sees a pattern of this, then they can get actioned. But that’s reporting for spam, where it’s possible to cause a squelch. Reporting for language is never a violation.
They didn’t. You broke the rules, so they “meted out” justice.
You don’t know what someone else was reported for, or actioned for.
Again, if they can say it with voice lines, we can also say it. Language being used is language being used, npc or player.
I sure do because I was friends with some of the people in chat and they are laughing that I am the only one who got in trouble and for saying mostly nothing.
There were people in there talking about supporting all sorts of war crimes…
But I get in trouble for an F bomb? LOL no, its not justice unless everybody involved with the crime in punished.
There shouldn’t be a fall guy.
and again, just having a few people disagree with me talking about advocating for more basic human rights? naw. I was advocating for good policy and they didn’t like it so they reported me.
I didn’t like what they said, and didn’t report them because I can deal with the fact that they didn’t agree with me. It’s part of being a human…
You may not. If you refuse to abide by the agreements you made when making your account, I can’t stop you. Blizzard employees can, and if you continue to get social violations it will result in account closure.
There was no crime, and you are not privy to account actions on accounts not yours. That’s pretty standard policy
There isn’t, there’s no rule allowing cursing on the forums - end of story on that. The system is place to filter out those words because they don’t want it used.
No you don’t. It’s between Blizzard and them.
Everyone tells the truth on the internet.
Well, everyone except you, it seems.
Yes. You are responsible for your communication. If everyone is robbing a bank and you join in, you committed a crime and you can’t say “but everyone else was doing it”. Quite frankly, that line of reasoning should’ve ended in Kindergarten.
No what you’re essentially saying is, as soon as the guy is screaming profanities on the screen that you can also just jump up from your cinema seat and start screaming the same thing.
You’re causing a nuisance, around those of you. While they are enjoying what the directors wrought for them, the viewers.
I’ve told you what this is for.
You have an appeal in.
NPCs are governed by the ESRB
YOU are governed by our code of conduct - which you broke.
If others did, and are reported, they will be also be governed by our policies and code of conduct.
I’m sorry you don’t seem to understand this.
