I woke up to a three day suspension for disruptive behavior. I need to know why. I paid for that game time, if I did something wrong, so be it, but I honestly cannot think of what I did. I’ve never ruined a dungeon, blocked a character model, or engaged in safe spotting. All I can think of is that I did PvP on a PvP server. If I’m wrong, I’ll eat the crow. I have no issue with that, but I am not going to just allow you to rob me.

Follow the process to appeal the ruling outlined in the email you received. Please note that whatever behaviour it was, likely didn’t happened in the last day or two, or even the past week. It takes time for investigations to happen (save for the black-and-white communication issues), but as Darth also said - it is very unlikely that you’re going to get an explicit answer.
This forum is one for players to assist other players, it’s not a contact point for staff. Sometimes our SFAs may pop in to try and offer some insight, but it’s not guaranteed.

The proper way to get a name change - is to buy one.
Not request others to ‘report it’ for made up reasons.
That is abuse of the reporting system

And it was too difficult to put that in an email? That’s fair, I’m in the wrong. I don’t see why I couldn’t have been altered to it instead of spending my time guessing what it could have been.
We rarely get into specifics beyond category.
Sometimes in chat related ones we can provide a bit more clarity.

Might avoid stuff like this if you did.
Specifics aren’t given so that people don’t attempt to draw lines through very grey areas and then try to cheese the system.

You wanted details on why u were banned and u got the details orlyia couldve just told u to apeal and locked the thread instead of leaving it open the forums arent for pleading ur case thats what apeals are for either the logs will back up ur claim or they will back the original findings.

As someone who is critical of Blizzard’s CS, i think your characterization of the response isn’t fair. Darkwraith is right-- you asked and you got an answer. How else could it have been worded? If you had just gotten am email or a reason in the notice this could have been avoided. You deserve to know.

Mate, the blues can and are able to, read all of a given player’s chat records. What she’s saying is what she’s reading. It’s no use in trying to prettying up what has happened. You got action for abusing the report action. It isn’t a tool to get around things, like paid services.

None of this is relevant here, because no one can appeal anything here. You’ll want to use the link provided in your email for an appeal.
No one is trying to shame you. And no, it didn’t sound like it was you. It simply sounded like a statement that someone using the system to get around a paid name change can get people sanctioned, whether it’s the instigator or those who helped. Because abusing the report system in any manner is an actionable offense.
Orlyia simply gave the basic, straightforward answer and did not name you nor anyone else.
You’ll want to put in your appeal.

They have in game logs the record all our chats. I think the logs go back as far as 60 days. So you cant lie about this.
He was suspended, not banned. Bans are permanent unless overturned by Blizzard. Suspensions are usually short term and can almost never be overturned. Better chance of overturing a ban than a suspension. If he were banned, then he could not post here. Suspended accounts can post here.

He’s not lying. He was part of the reporting process, but not the one getting the name change. Either way, it’s still abuse of the report system, as Orlyia said.

Oh yea. I actually read the greyed out part of the post and saw that.

And…THIS is why they don’t offer many specifics, or live chat for appeals, or any of the things players request (or demand) from CoC violations. Because it always devolves into this. You said:
Then:
And yet, you continue to try to skirt around the violation. Bringing up irrelevant "what if"s doesn’t mean anything.
Giving you the answer to your question? What were you expecting?
Don’t want others to know exactly what you did wrong? Then don’t ask for clarification on a forum where others can see it. You asked for (demanded) an explanation, and you got it.

There is no personal data involved to utilize the GDPR, and Blizzard is not a government entity which the CPRA oversees. How would either institution help?

I was actually sitting here with this response open and just so gobsmacked by the ridiculousness of this suggestion that I couldn’t even get the words flowing.
The pretty basic answer to the OP and anyone else who comes here asking what they’ve done - is to know the rules and not dance so close to them. With the exception of those larger instances of incorrect data being passed along that lead to widespread sanctions in a few marked occassions - most people know exactly what they did, or have some idea of it. Blizzard does not give explicit information. Our SFAs do try and at least point people in the general direction of what caused it when they can, but they don’t have to do even that.
But don’t go wasting anyone’s time - the OP or the agencies related to those acts - with that mess. OP wants to argue about their money being “taken”, but that is the cost of breaking the rules. It’s covered in the fine print we agree to and just part of the penalty. They are welcome to appeal the ruling, and if the sanction is tossed out, then they are absolutely able to request the time lost to be credited back to their account. But yeah. This sort of thing is not what either of those acts were created for.

Guys.
Not worth it. If Namhadi believes they can appeal, they can appeal. If Namhadi wants to look for legal advice, they can speak with an attorney.

Think it’s time to lock this up before this devolves even further.
