My account received a temp ban on Christmas Eve after a “real person” instantly reviewed my behavior. Yes I dropped two F bombs. Which are picked up by the prof filter. But I wasn’t trying to offend anyone by saying it. I was getting ganked and was a bit frustrated that’s all. But why are “PRiests need a huge nerf”, “shadowlol”, “periewst at the island at 48. 40”, “if you see her and think she shoulkd pass because youre grpd”, “she would murder you in a heartbeat” “if she had the advantage”, and my personal favorite “dont” deemed as abusive chat? Are you going to tell me that someone working on Christmas Eve deemed these all as “abusive chat”?

Profanity filter doesn’t protect you, lol.

It’s there so kids don’t see swears and slurs and whatnot in Barrens chat.

You definitely got in trouble for the F-bombs, not the Penance thing.

Why did they include them in the example list then?

Promise you, a real person didn’t review it. You get 2-3 bot appeals that they say are real before a support rep actually looks at it.

So are you saying to appeal it again?

They probably just copy-pasted everything you said, I dunno.

I’ve said worse things about classes in retail and I never got in trouble for that, saying Demon Hunters are for diaper-wearers, etc.

Maybe it’s harassment? They could’ve thought you were going out of your way to harass that specific player, and inviting others to do the same.

Also I don’t know why children are playing this game.

Also the player I was talking about was Alliance and I’m Horde. Not sure where the harassment would be coming from. And ganking isn’t harassment it’s part of being on a PVP server.

Hey, me neither.

To be honest though, I was playing Grand Theft Auto 3 on Playstation 2 in late elementary school too, lmao.

Parents, wya?

They can ban you for whatever and they don’t need a reason is pretty much their attitude. They just make up the rules as they go. You agreed to the social contract

Why would you just lie tho? Clearly you weren’t banned for that aspect of your statement. Do you normally go around lying to people?

lol what do you mean lie? What are you on

You said you were banned for saying priests need a nerf when that clearly isn’t the case at all. You obviously were banned for what followed that. Why do you lie?

Why was it included in the message? “Below are some examples of chat from the account that caused the action.” EVERYTHING listed in there according to Blizz is the reason I was banned. Including the phrase “don’t”

Crystal generation.

Avoid talking to anyone at all cost, try to appeal again but if this doesn’t resolve just avoid talking to anyone or venting your frustrations in public because we are surrounded by this crystal generation.

Nothing to see here.

Move along, folks.

My thoughts, at worst you sound immature and whiney, but nothing about it seems ban worthy. I’ve seen significantly worse barrens offenders on the daily…

The same reason that every pvp player gets silenced for.

You’re not gonna get any sympathy for being unable to filter yourself

You might find it entertaining if not educational to have a look at a talk Steven Pinker did, I believe relevant to his book The Stuff of Thought, which was current at the time. The title of the YouTube videos would be something like Steven Pinker - The Language of Swearing (1/2), and Steven Pinker - The Language of Swearing (2/2).

Part of that talk includes a bit of a dive into the cognitive neuroscience of swearing.

:woman_shrugging:

Something is telling me it wasn’t the “Priest’s need a huge nerf” that got you banned, but rather some of the other stuff you said.

So now you’re going for a forum ban as well?
