This is just an automated warning that you’ve been reported recently. This isn’t a GM action or penalty.
If this is true, you would be banned right now, no? Why would they wait to report you after your behavior warning? Who knows you would have one? Hint: Not even Blizzard would know since they’re not issued by a GM.
Report them for harassment, don’t engage and ignore and carry on.
Bring proof, that will be screenshots and screencap of what you say are happening, then bring that directly to blizzard through a GM ticket.
This is harassment.
Blizzard do take these things seriously, even if many will say they do not. The ones who threaten you will suddenly find themselves with a nifty time-out from the game. If you do get banned/silenced, you can use the fact you already have reported that this was going to happen as the culprit of your current account action. The GMs will remove your penalty and then handle the ones that did mass report you in turn.
It is annoying, it is a bit scary, yet in the end if you stand up for yourself they can do very little to stop you. At least not in a way that isnt self-destructive for themselves.
i dont know if you are aware of the situation my man, but the automated warning is the same as the automated ban lol it´s both the same, and getting triggered by an Report trashhold
no because i instantly stopped posting when i saw the Warning poped up
wont change much, because they have multiple accounts, and i dont, 1 report wont do much or 2
hey, thank you for the advice !
what can i do in the worst case, for example, i getting only a Ai ticket, or my ticket will just be closed, to a point where i dont get a chance to talk to an actual Gm with the Ticket system?
in the past i think it´s 2 years ago when i got reported in a Alterac bg because i said in the chat “5 people are afk on the tower we need them here”
i got a behavior warning aswell. and my ticket got closed by an Gm without even a Response
Yes, I see daily desinformation about this subject on my feed. Your thread isn’t anything new nor does it provide any new sources but anecdotal experiences which some parts I may add, are yet to happen.
For example here:
Incorrect, no automated bans can occur as these are reviewed by Blizzard and you generally need to cheat or have seriously repeatedly violated social rules to get banned.
When you get the AI auto response (and yes, you do), just re-open the ticket, politely re-explain the situation and how the AI response isn’t helpful nor on point.
In the end you reach a human (over-worked, af) that will do a “I looked through this, this is what is or not going to happen. I am closing the ticket”.
If you are in the right, not trying to play the system, you will in 99/100 cases not come out of this on the wrong side.
So I wouldnt worry. Trust, I been in the system a myriad of times over the years.
if you take a look over Reddit, or Youtube, u will see, that many people got Reported and after certain treshold automatically banned
im speaking about ingame not forum, in forum we have actual mod´s which im glad we have ! so we dont get automatically banned here, but it does not count for actual classic server
im only speaking about classic server, maybe it is different on retail i dont know
i dont wanna insult you in any means, but how can you be so wrong, while in the same time so confident
there is multiple proof, that this system is AUTOMATED and works to an certain Treshold
you are just not aware of the current classic situation, where even BOT SCRIPTER changed the Script of some Farmbots that the bot automatically Reports you, if you put the bot in the target, or near by him.
there was even a Addon out, what reported people without putting him in target, like aoe blizzard spell from a Mage
or how do you wanna explain the Scarab Secptre world race incident in 2019 to me? when the alliance reported every horde in Silithus to make them banned, so they cant participate in the sceptre race?
They do have access to logs, but, hear me out. They are human, and looking up a picture, is a lot faster than accessing the timestamps, search it up and find the information through their tools.
There is nothing wrong with just making sure the information is there and easily accessible for both parties. Like say, a GM asking when it happened, well - you got the picture to look that up for yourself right there.
You just want to be classic yourself forum contrarian tho.
or do they check also the “not reported chat” and if they find something what is against the rule what wasnt reported it still count as an ban reason?
for example
i told a friend in bnet “u idiot died again in hardcore ? xD” (not reported obviously)
and after that i posted my macro in world chat “wts sfk boost 5 runs /25 gold” (reported)
does my message above the report also count? because they check the logs?
They have access to everything you have ever written in chat. And likely, more than that.
I doubt that the system would scan your whole chat history. Nor would it make much sense for the GM to look up what you said to unrelated parties. Especially when it doesnt matter in context.
Think you are worrying a bit too much over nothing, or ‘could be’ situations.
Just focus on the matter at hand, the ones who harassed you with threats. Rest is irrelevant.
That would have been reported by other players because there’s a specific channel for people to advertise boosts etc to keep them out of the main chat channels.
I would doubt the message to your friend would be reported unless it was reported by the friend.
By “banned” the OP clearly means silenced here, and yes I would imagine it can be incredibly disruptive to someone’s gameplay.
Crafting mafias also have their own discords and I know of many occasions where someone who attempted to offer a service for less gold than is customary, was squelched for days. And the crafting mafias continue to operate with no repercussions.
