It was recently made aware to myself that I’ve been added to some sort of third party blacklist on an addon called Scambuster for alleged ninja looting by a player in-game when it flagged up for them that I was in the vicinity.
It appears Curse has made a stance on this addon previously and have kicked it off the platform due to the inconsistent nature in which accounts and characters were being added to such lists with varying criteria. https://github.com/hypernormalisation/StatementOnScambuster
It can clearly been seen in my report on the unofficial server Discord where screenshots were literally time stamped have been posted with inconsistencies where my messages have been removed one shot to another to skew a story. It’s this same unofficial Discord that a self-appointed ‘council’ decides who makes it to this list with no appeals process or even without any attempt to said player on trial?
I’d be interested to know what Blizzards official stance on this was?
3) Add-ons must not negatively impact World of Warcraft realms or other players.
Add-ons will perform no function which, in Blizzard Entertainment’s sole discretion, negatively impacts the performance of the World of Warcraft realms or otherwise negatively affects the game for other players. For example, this includes but is not limited to excessive use of the chat system, unnecessary loading from the hard disk, and slow frame rates.
I feel that a self-appointed jury who can blackball players and even entire accounts using GUIDs based on loose ‘evidence’ and biased opinion is surely in breach of this and might even promote harassment?
