Going on 2 hours of radio silence after logging in to find my character in GM jail

Dang that's messed up.

If its a first offense its probably just going to be a couple days ban

reported for 3rd party programs. I used to upload logs on request for folks when teaching savage raids. Guess i got reported for it.

What’s sad is that other players were asking for a way to check their own performance—probably so they could actively try to improve as a player—but someone had to go and report you for it because “rawr its bad”.

You’ll most likely get a temporary suspension, which really sucks. I’m not going to lie.
I do think you’re owed an apology for your unnecessary wait, though.

Well atleast a GM showed up finally. What was the punishment for the 3rd party program stuff (which I find silly)?

Usually people say on the forums that, as long as you don't use it for harassment, parsers are fine (but still in a grey area). I guess not, I guess it's in the solid "not allowed" if OP got punished for it when people explicitly asked for it.

Its more like "Out of sight, out of mind" type of deal, and in this case not quite out of sight for atleast one player.

Also it wouldn't surprise me if OP can't talk about what their punishment is, but could be wrong.

I'm going to say it's still probably fine, we may not have heard the entire story. In fact I'll lean on that.
But fine is still "fine" as in don't talk about it too much ingame at all. Everyone knows they exist, and everyone knows the majority of raiders will use it. That's fine, but harassment can find itself in places unwarranted sometimes.
What if there was a grey parser who ended up getting told something they probably needed to hear, but didn't take kindly to it? I mean, harassment is harassment, even if intent is good.

It's a "use it but don't mention it" case. OP confirmed on chat that he's uploading the logs to his party and that one person reported them. Nothing OP can do about it in this case.

They're trying to give me a 10 day ban. I've never received so much as a warning before, and consider myself a really positive player within the community. I spent most of my time trying to help and teach players through their first experiences with high end content.

My GM is generally ignoring me for 10 minutes each time i ask for a platform to appeal my punishment, and then giving me a copy paste response that has nothing to do with my question.

[Aomine1992]

This worries me because as a lowly PS4 player I always beg for my own numbers or logs to be uploaded so that I’m not a potato in savage. I never wanna be the issue someone else gets banned D:
