Reported a supposed multi-boxer and got info that one or more people got banned 😈

I was wondering how a supposed multi boxer with 8+ boomkins is capable of casting Starfall in different locations around him (at the same time) if he is just repeating initial input :slight_smile:

Now I know.
R.I.P “multi-boxer” :poop:

In your dreams, maybe. Blizzard never reply with info about someone being banned to the reporter. They thank you for the information and say they’ll look at it.

Sure, but they also say that they took action against player/s account/s.
The only thing that they aren’t sharing is who got owned.

I’m saddened by the idea of less multi-boxers. They’ll be in my thoughts.

So how do you know the multi boxer you reported got banned?

They send in-game mail to the character from which report was made and this “multi-boxer” was the only report I ever made from that char.

but if, as you said here,

Again. How do YOU know, without any shred of doubt and can unequivocally prove, that the multi boxer YOU reported, was the one who got banned, if you are not privy to such information?

Unless you were said multiboxer I fail to see how you would know for certain they got the chop.

Because I have reported a few players and have never received such an email and I only report for instances that blatantly break the ToS of the game.

I already told you that they send mail to a character from which report was made if your report resulted in action being taken against the reported player and since I reported only one player on that specific char it’s logical the email was about that guy.
Even if you want to argue that mail was about someone who I reported from different character there is still a fact that I only report multi-boxers.
So one way or another a multi-boxer was owned.

Then a few things could happen:
a) your report wasn’t processed yet,
b) taken actions were minor and didn’t warrant a message to a player,
c) it was rejected and you were wrong about whoever you reported,

And can you link the email then?

I just want to see what the email looks like In case I’ve overlooked it in my blizzard email archive.

Actually it is Blizzard’s policy that they do not reveal any action taken to anyone other than the person they actioned. It’s called privacy. If you received such a mail
 then it was definitely not something that their boss would agree with.

last report I filed was 4 months ago.

i consider deliberately and constantly harassing another player quite un minor

Possible. Shameful if it was and condoning such actions are again, shameful. If so more fool Blizzard. because as i said, i only report people who are blatantly breaking ToS. I don’t really consider multiboxing breaking toS if they stay in the rules blizzard sets for Multiboxing. That’s not to say i condone it, I just don’t see the point in reporting every single multi boxer you come across on the off chance you might snare 1 out 30.

And if you want to argue with an MVP who knows a lot more than i do you go right ahead but you really ought to stop digging Blink.

I have serious doubts about this because

  1. blizzard are quite vocal in their stance that they will never tell you if action is taken against someone you report

  2. I have twice reported bots and soon after the bots have disappeared, most recently around the time of the ban wave and I was never contacted with information that action had been taken even though it most obviously had.

  3. people report bots daily, they report multiboxers daily and no one has ever made a claim like this before


Something smells here :woman_shrugging:

I’ve recently seen reports of them sending a message that says an action has been taken against a player that you reported, thanking you for helping. Overwatch definitely sends these messages to players, as I’ve received some, and I’ve seen screenshots of legit looking mail that uses almost the exact same text as the message in Overwatch.

The message does not reveal who was the action taken against, or what was the action, but if you only reported one person it cannot possibly be anyone else.

Sure, but they do send mail in-game to tell you that your “reports led to actions against one or more players and accounts”.
Since I reported only one guy from that specific char and the guy was multi-boxing while his in-game behaviour looked like straight-up botting then it’s logical to assume that he got banned (6 months/permanent ban) becasue that the penalty for botting.

This is the in-game mail they send: https://i.ibb.co/hM0kVvM/Snap5.png

Honestly, it sounds like you are afraid of being exposed for being wrong :laughing:

“You can do it if you want but better don’t becasue reasons so better stop”

LOL :smile:

I occasionally get mails like this for reporting people in HotS. In Overwatch it actually informs me ingame. It never reveals who it was, it’s just a feedback to encourage people to report when needed and not lose faith in the system.
