The point of appealing is so it won’t stain your record if something happens again in the future. Instead of a strike 2 offence, it would go back to strike 1.
I’ve never had this happen to me.
I’ve never received more than 24 hours timeout, and never in-game… and the timeouts I received, I earned all by myself.
It pays to be magnanimous, gorgeous, kind, and accountable.

Ok, from what I’m seeing the blue replied to the OP :
“As you inferred and from what I can see, the folks on your realm feel you are little overzealous with your LFM messages and spam the LFG channel.”
So basically OP didn’t really do anything wrong, there’s already a built-in timeout. If Blizzard wants players to be less “spammy” they should adjust that timeout, not just ban people based on what the players in their realms think.
This is getting ridiculous.
What next ? “Oh the people on your realm found your transmog a bit too revealing so we banned you for 14 days” ?

The tickets are backed up because they started enforcing chat rules in voice chat in Overwatch and every Overwatch kid screaming racial slurs is asking for their voice mute to be undone. It happens, not much they can do about it.

Yes because you are seeing the thousands of tickets that come through. 
Is that really a thing? I heard about it but seems like a weird thing to enforce
Yeah they definitely on top of voice chat rules now. That LoL streamer Tyler got a voice mute within like 5 minutes of OW2 going live and it was quite the rage content.
You have a good point here, considering literally every single other guild on the server also uses LFG channel to advertise their guild, I didn’t even realize what I was doing was wrong. There was one or two instances of me accidentally double clicking a macro recruiting for a raid or guild. Maybe the dials should be turned to make it so if it detects you saying the exact same thing twice quickly it doesn’t allow the 2nd message to go through?
How is enforcement even done for this ?
Do they keep recordings of every voice chat ?
Or is it a “trust based” thing on the number of reports again ?
LOL, its a crime now?

They also don’t want to interfere with normal conversation… anything they do to throttle people who have no self control would impact a player not doing anything wrong. The OP was actioned for his actions. Maybe it was a strong enough message to where they’ll remember it. If not it only gets worse from there.

Normal conversation in LFG ?
Timeouts are per chat channel. As evidenced by party/instance/guild chat not having a timeout at all.
Actions entirely out of his control to even know were rule breaking.
“The feelings of his realm” should never be a rule. That’s just lazy talk to say “We just action based on report numbers and don’t actually look into it much”.
The CS guy didn’t even imply the message itself had anything wrong it with. “Your LFM message”. Guy was just trying to get a group formed in the group forming channel.

You’re over-thinking it. Vrak was just saying that “his realm” thought he was spamming and reported him as such, and the GM that reviewed it evidently agreed with their assessment.
No, actually he was spamming his guild recruitment message in LFG.
From OP’s CS thread. You’ll notice that they conveniently left that information out of this one.

and this response is why I ‘normally’ have you on ignore… I won’t bother replying to you again. Trust me.

Your so-called “friend” did you in. That’s the only explanation.
I’m questioning the “GM that reviewed it” part, as we know that they don’t since you’re actionned on the spot. “blah blah squelch”, the e-mail says silenced.
But we all know how these threads go. “You must’ve done it! Post on CS! We want to laugh”. And boom, OP does, CS confirms all he did was post LFM messages.
Vrak claimed different :
“your realm feel you are little overzealous with your LFM messages”
“your LFM messages”
Who to believe, you or the Blue guy ?
The information that he was accused of repeating a LFM message too often, something already controlled by a Blizzard configured timeout ?
Yeah, typical of people who can’t argue the ideas and fact.
“How dare you disagree with me!”.
It’s really not. I’ve mentioned before how long ticket times have been for myself and friends. A harassment ticket by a friend went so long unanswered that my friend just up and quit, cancelled the ticket.

You could believe OP, who I directly quoted as saying he was spamming his guild recruitment in LFG.
Oh you’re one of those.
If you’re going to keep parroting youtuber conspiracies rather than listen when we’re explicitly told how the system works, then I won’t waste more time on you.

You didn’t :

Someone who’s not blind that an automod is doing the actions ? They’ve admitted it at this point. If you’re not “one of those”, you’re just highly resistant to facts, especially established ones.
Then don’t break the rules, ya wagon.
