I made a forum post, and it was closed by mod and he stated that i was asking for staff to intervene. i was not. i was stating facts and the punishment for those. not once did i ask for help from any “staff”.
it’s an issue that should be sorted out among the community… like you know, on the general forums.
IF i wanted to do so i would of done through a ticket, or here.
Forum post in question.
Nothing can be done about it here, this is for Customer Support in game. If your thread was locked in General you would need to ask about it over there, the mods that moderate that forum do not come here. The Blues here do not moderate outside of this forum.
With that said, my guess is that your thread is one of thousands on this subject. If you want to discuss it use one of those other threads.
That or it devolved into a cesspit of arbitrary back-and-forth insults that served no purpose whatsoever.
But as Mourningg said, cross-moderation generally does not happen, and definitely not from Support Forum Agents.
So, you want people banned for PvPing, but somehow you aren’t asking for the staff to intervene? Who will be doing the banning? LOL
when did i ask for a ban? i was just stating the punishment for greifing?
This needs to be closed here before it becomes the same thing.
So, yeah… are you intentionally trolling or are you completely unaware of what you’re doing?
All of this back and forth needs to be done in one of the numerous other threads on this issue in General. This isn’t a topic for Customer Support.
Gotta love that word, “griefing”. All it really means is someone doing something I don’t like.
No, camping you isn’t griefing. You chose to play in PVP and if you don’t like it, you can choose to turn it off too.
Sorry to pop in and bring this up, but I am politely as I can asking please don’t send people to GD to discuss moderation (which is against the rules). Mods and blues won’t help there either, and it just causes more issues.
And as always, thank you CS people out there!
They usually don’t mind if you asking a legit question about it. But I can see what you are saying. What I actually meant to say is that if they have questions they would need to contact Blizzard via a web ticket. ![:slight_smile:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")
People like to go war mode for the extra XP but that extra XP is compensation for having difficulty with questing in a PvP world.
If you don’t want to be camped and actually deal with PvP, turn off Warmode. If you ant the XP, keep it on and live with the fallout.
Seems like the op wants to have his cake and eat it too.
Right here:
You’re saying you want people “griefing” to be banned. So yes, you are asking for staff intervention. No, you weren’t trying to have a discussion.
The problem with “griefing” is it requires knowing what a person’s intent is for otherwise permissible behaviour. Blizzard’s staff cannot verify any of that from their logs, and this is the same reason that multiboxing is permissible; the in-game effect is unchanged. Blizzard only acts on things they can objectively verify and (if need be) falsify.
Just to touch on what Perl said above, “griefing” is a player-created term used to describe when Person A doesn’t like what Person B is doing. Griefing isn’t formally recognized by Blizzard, as one of two options are available.
In the case of Camping, your options are to either: A.) Disable warmode, or B.) Get your friends together and go after the camper.
Is it a jerk move? Yes.
Is it something Blizzard will action for? No.
Why won’t Blizzard take action against a camper? It is a PvP situation where a PvP solution exists. Either utilize a PvP solution or disable warmode.
Times have changed.
It’s a term which Blizzard now uses in the EULA.
Thanks! I had thought something was there about griefing, but I’m not sure exactly what. I don’t believe what the OP was describing falls under griefing though, since there is a PvP solution.
It is recognized and used, as we do tend to use the same terminology that players do. However, we also recognize that it is an extremely nebulous term as well, and is very often used to describe behavior that simply isn’t against our policies.
As for the original purpose of this post…
As has been pointed out, this isn’t the appropriate place to dispute or appeal forum moderation. You’ll want to submit an appeal ticket to have it reviewed. Though truth be told, threads that devolve, as something like that is apt to do, is often closed for that reason so there may be nothing that can be done, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.
I’m going to lock this one up now.
