Being Reported on by a known bot

[Pinworms]

I have screenshots of him teleporting around in the PvP arena. Reported him based on that too.. still have the screenshots handy.
It looks almost like lag, but he'll get pushed back by an ability and split second later he's back on his target.

How the hail is a screenshot going to prove teleporting LOL. I'm sorry, but you gotta do better than that.

Half his body is in the ground during the match in the middle of the arena.
He's floating mid air in his starting area.
and.. he was in a wall at one point.

All of this makes it very hard to target him. =(

Screenshots are time stamped. The metadata can be used to determine the distance traveled between the screenshot interval. Besides video is just a sequence of stills anyway.

You broke the rules and you were punished. Problem?

All I got from this thread is trolls defending a known cheater (seriously, if you PVP on Primal in solo-queue, you've seen the offender), and whole bunch of people who don't understand "freedom of speech". It's the right to speak out against your government without being silenced, not the right to harrass someone with language. That's actually illegal most places, it's a form of abuse.

I guess SE loves botters. Who knows?

Op, not to sound like a dick or anything, but um, just because someone else is breaking the rules, doesn't mean that you get to as well. That's called hypocrisy. Sure, I get that you're mad about the bots, but that doesn't give you the right to break the language and harassment rules. You broke the rules. You were punished for it. SE handles harassment differently than they do bots and RMT and all that stuff. Harassment stuff gets taken care of pretty quickly, while the bots get investigated to find connections to other bots/RMT sites/etc. The fact remains, that you're not allowed to harass other players, whether they be legitimate players or bots. It's still the same thing, and still bears the same punishment. If you want to be a jerk and harass people, that's your business, but you should be surprised when you get treated like what you are.

Better spam that screen shot button then lol. Still all that maybe true, but if he is teleporting around and in the ground etc that's not necessarily a bot - 3rd party program yes, bot - don't think so since the player is there and responding. Maybe you all are reporting him for the wrong things.

Botting refers to playing the game while not physically at the computer. Report him as a bot and as soon as he responds investigation is over. Report him for 3rd party software and explain what is happening and why you suspect it...different story. Verbally abuse someone - chat logs, with little investigating required.

Also different departments are sent the reports as far as harassment and "Botting or cheating". It's all in how things are worded sometimes.

Talking shit to a person and using a bot is the same to SE. But take longer to ban someone using a bot seeing how they have to make sure there using it.

Another game I play once had a post about this that explained how it works in a pretty easy to comprehend way. If you are eating dinner at a diner and swearing profusely while cheerfully talking with your friends, and nobody sitting near you is offended, you probably won't have any problems. If one of them IS offended and complains to the staff, you will probably be asked to leave. The odds of said diner being offended when you are pointing at him and calling him YOU BOTTING @!#$!@# are much higher than if you say TITAN EX IS @!#$% STUPID in group chat with him.
