I just got an account warning for "grief tactics" and I literally have no idea why

[Jeeqbit]

I don't think that's the point, Jeeqbit.

The cut scenes in Prae are an excellent opportunity to chat with the team and be funny.

In Frontline, off-topic text appearing in the chatbox is incredibly disruptive

Most of the time, if I chat, it's while waiting for the countdown at the start because I'm busy doing PvP.

But I don't actually agree that it's disruptive. It's a social channel and I'm sure I've exchanged banter and jokes in it sometimes, especially in less intense frontline maps ie. not onsal.

Upsetting someone with a snarky, rude or misinterpreted comment however could be seen as "disrupting" them.

But the two examples we've been given were neither banter nor jokes; simply pissing on the mode and those actually trying their best.

Suggesting your team feeds another to get the match over quicker violates multiple ToS.

Okay, now I get it. Someone taking a very obvious joke at face value, possibly for spite.

So yeah, I'm not paying money to deal with a system that allows people to do this. If I want to be deliberately misinterpreted in the worst possible way, Reddit accounts are free.

Also, the "feed them so it ends faster" comment was not something I said today, so it wasn't that.

If you really can't stop yourself typing, I would agree you're going to end up being banned anyway.

Its not about whether or not I can, its about whether or not I want to continue walking on eggshells and paying for the priviledge of doing so.

You are a perfect example of this. Deliberately misinterpreting what I'm saying in the way that puts me in the most negative light possible. I don't know whether you're just a negative person and doing such a thing is automatic for you or if you're actually putting effort into it, and frankly I don't care. You're the sort of person I prefer to avoid, and if someone like you has the power to wield TOS as a weapon to get my account banned, I will not be wasting more time or money here.

Excellent, a thread with a conclusion upon which everyone agrees.

Join us in wow. We joke all the time. This games got a reputation for being the softest MMO playerbase out there. I can barely get away with turning pve into pvevp. Its not my fault the contents more fun when we're killing each other slogging through an nraid. Also don't feel the need to respond to Mawlzy. It ain't worth your time.

You're like a dude that stumbles around knocking tables over at a party then is shocked when he gets kicked out. Just play the game and don't be obnoxious and you'll have nothing to worry about.

Ah yes, making a cheesy joke is totally the same thing as property destruction.

Of course, you might have a point. Maybe I did something worse. If only they'd actually tell me so I can avoid doing it again.

Given your tone in this thread thus far you probably said one or more abrasive things that were ToS violations and got reported. I'm sure you're well aware of what you said and did that day. Again, just act like a civil adult and you'll have nothing to worry about.
