Warning for "Grief" Tactics?!

[Kaurhz]

Am I wrong though? Like, I mean...

No, no. I haven't actually started reporting anyone in-game for cursing or whatever else. Like, I'd actually realistically bother doing that. As I have said time and time again, it was me venting. I was being hyperbolic. I guess I have to put angry face emojis, and whatever else whenever I am being sarcastic or whatever. Speaking on that, this forum has a severe lack of good emojis, unfortunate really. I like emojis.

How can I have "accountability" for my actions when I have no clue what I even did. Was it from me leaving, disconnecting then leaving, no tank stance, "not healing", not having raised somebody?? I have no clue what exactly is being misconstrued as "griefing". I did not go out and intend to grief anybody. It's ridiculous. I am confident, because I know I am innocent.

Whether you're incorrect or not and whether I agree with you is irrelevant, and whether you were only merely venting or not is irrelevant. It shown a willingness and to many in this thread arguably only paint you in the 1 light you QUITE clearly dislike being painted.

The only thing I would recommend if you care that much is to file for a data request. They are practically obligated. Unfortunately GMs don't really expand because I would argue they have a very strictly policy, and arguably something that relates to how they use and process data on people. For every report you're dealing with the data of multiple people. Which to people not trained can be in a dangerous position to be in.

Like I said in my original post, just revisit your own actions in the past and think if you could have done something better. If you leave abruptly and disconnect several times (at very inconvenient times) then simply apologise for the instability, if it isn't feasible then communicate that it is better you leave and someone else replaces you . Communication is key and can alleviate a lot of the issues that can be construed as griefing. If you feel eager then review your actions in relation to the Terms of Service and see what can be construed as griefing. Don't just insist that you did absolutely nothing wrong and thus innocent (regardless of whether you are or not). People have been using this excuse on practically every forum since bans became a thing, and more often than not the devil was in the details, and the details that until asked for evidence they so conveniently left out, so there's a negative association there. Don't just insist you're innocent. Chill out, look at it rationally, think what you can do better, keep that in mind in the future and then if you feel the need make a thread with actual issues to try and spark productive debate. Ironically there's already one in your post that I agree with quite a bit.

Is it unfortunate stuff like this exists, sure. But then this comes from a place wherein people use very underhanded tactics to get their own way, so in this regard the playerbase is just reaping what they've sown through their own actions in the past. People speak of "Well I don't wanna lose my account" vibes, and whilst I would agree, in the same vein if rules such as this are going to deter some of the behaviours that were prominent when people got duties they didn't like then I for one toast for that.
