Since when was Simply SPEAKING!! With another player and referenced the Phrase removed which the context of why this was said was because myself and a Guild mate where in discord and one of us farted or something which related the sound of a fart.
At the time it happened the IGL(In Game Leader) was calling the strategy for the Raid fight we where clearing at the time so instead of Saying it in discord and disrupting coms, I typed in chat(instance chat) whos removed.
I know none of my guild mates NOR players i play with or HAVE played with reported me for Abusive Chat I’ve clearly been TARGETED by your profanity’s filter auto ban system, Since I manage a guild I also send out a GUILD RECRUITMENT Advertise in Trade Chat & LFG Chat every 3-5 minutes So i can GUARENTEE i was getting reported for spam Exe… Aka Players ABUSING THE REPORT system and selecting every single option.
the auto flag system caught 1 phrase that could be offensive and the GM who dealt the 20DAY suspension clearly does not understand blizzards values. I can recall MULTIPLE BluePosts that STATE: CONTEXT IS EXTREAMLY IMPORTANT : when dealing with each case by case. At the very worst this should’ve been a 1-2 Week Chat Silence/Gag/Restriction.
Especially considering Cataclysm is being Released Today id extremely appreciate it if ANY SUPPORT STAFF / OR A GOD SENT DEV WHO HAS COMMON SENSE!!! Realize the punishment that was given does NOT MATCH the crime and remove this suspension and make it a chat restriction please and ty blizzard show us the Community, that your support staff still value Blizzards ORIGINAL Core VALUES, CONTEXT MATERS WHEN DEALING WITH EVERY UNIQUE SCENARIO
All in All… 20-30day suspension, no logic used so far with the actions taken on my account, Do the support Teams even bother investigating PROPPERLY anymore? Tis a sad day when an ACTIVE WoW Subscriber SINCE 2007-2008 gets WRONGFULLY punished for a GM’s neglect to simply investigate the context of a conversation and selects the SECOND HARSHEST PUNISHMENT Blizzard Support Staff can give out (first harshest is obviously a ban)
There is nothing that can be done about this on the forums, your only recourse is to appeal until they tell you stop. I wouldn’t get your hopes up for it to be reversed.
That you think what you said is acceptable is hilarious. I can’t think of any scenario where it would be acceptable in game. And in any case context does not matter. It is either acceptable or not acceptable.
In any case, again. Nothing can be done on the forums, your only recourse is to appeal.
If it needs to be explained to you then you have a problem. Blizzard has been moving away from silenses for foul language. Why it does not seem to work.
Based on a 20 day suspension this is not your first time in trouble.
Anyway you can appeal this but if you said that i doubt that will go any place. Also those words also violate the forum code as well.
this is referring to a Character name which is ENTIRELY different that saying it in chat when its not directed towards anybody, that was just the ONLY phrase they could use that was remotely close aganist ToS, They even listed the Phrase Invit me as a violation of ToS
The blue link above is pretty definitive, saying that is not acceptable at all. 20 day suspension just means this isn’t your first trip around the block. Penalties don’t drop off and tend to double.
