Banned twice for the same reason?

Good evening everyone.

At the beginning of 2025, i started playing a lot wow again. After a short time, i noticed how toxic the community in higher m+ keys became, and i sort of adapted to their language. Not proud of it. But i did it.

If someone bailed on my group and depleted our key for no real reason, i did thow him an insult, and reported him. Or if someone blamed a group member for no reason and started insulting him, i did the same to defend the guy/girl, if the logs told me different.

This ended in intense arguments via wispers and ignores on both sides on a regular bases. So if you run 10-20 keys with pugs a day and deplete half of it… do the math. thats a lot of ignores/reports each day.

On top of that, i started solo boosting people to get a +10 key for their vault. I used the lfg tool for that, which i know now, is forbidden.

Long story short: the intense arguments with pugs over 3 weeks and the boosting led to a 10 day ban.

I accept that and i m kind of happy blizzard is reacting on missbehavior. So i planed to not tryhard in pugs anymore and avoid toxic players. If someone happens to appear, i use the report system, since it obviously realy works. (thx blizzard)

I was banned on 10.03.2025 for 10 days and started playing again on the 23.03.2025. After a short vacation i felt refreshed and gave wow another shot. this time with the focus on playing with guildmates and friends. Worked out pretty well. Had lots of fun.
I had just 2 moments when a angry russion went nuts on someone, but behaved and used report system.

Surprisingly… Last night, while running a key, i got banned again. This time for 15 days.

I do not realy understand how i got banned again. Maybe anyone can help me understand?

Can it be that i gathered soooo many reports over the weeks befor my first ban, that this results in multible bans, since they just looked into a portion of the reports at a time?

If anyone had similiar experiences, plz let me know.

I knew i did something wrong the months befor the ban. But not after it, i guess. :slight_smile:

Hello, ban discussions aren’t allowed on the forums. If you feel it is in error please appeal.

You won’t double penalised for previous actions.

The warning is the terms you read before playing the game. This was also linked to you at the last suspension.

You may occasionally receive a Blizzard warning in the popup at the top corners of your game but that is not an official written warning given by GM’s.

In general from your mentioned times you’re on the third penalty, for social chat infractions start at 1 week silence.

Forums are not the appropriate place to discuss account penalties, as such practice is against the Forum Code of Conduct:

Forum staff is also unable to review, discuss or otherwise disclose any information related to account penalties and/or what caused them.

Any appeal for ban, suspensions and any other penalty must necessarily go through the relevant ticket option as explained here: https://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/167147
