Not quite the same thing, I think. Because Blizzard deals with characters before the players behind them, someone doing something to a number of characters warrants multiple reports regardless of the number of players behind those characters.Quote:

In this particular case, my only possible justification (as had been pointed out) is that he communicated to all of my characters. Normally, what I did would have been a problem. It might even turn into an issue if the wrong GM found out about it since they are likely NOT paid to think through the rules and possible reasons for my doing what I did.
You said, "Star Wars Galaxies has /tell only." I then replied by saying, "Yes, it did"; that is, I was reaffirming what you said.Quote:

You can get someone banned for dropping an F-bomb?Quote:

AFAIK swearing at someone in a whisper will merely result in a polite word from a GM (assuming it's reported) and a warning not to do it again.Quote:

Swearing in /trade /say /yell or other _broadcast_ channels is a more sever offence and you _might_ get a suspension.
Repeating the offence could earn you a ban if you do it enough.
Threatening behaviour is also treated more seriously.
I imagine that calling the GM a **** when he speaks to you would make a world of difference to the result...
It's "please send tell" in my book. Played Asheron's Call looooong before WoW, and there was no /whisper command. It was @tell.Quote:

I don't /whisper back, I /reply ;)
Blizzard will ban your account for swearing, yes. As far as I know, you progress through the penalty pyramid as well (three hours for a first offense, 24 for a second, etc). As I understand it, they treat public (/yell, /say, /general) channels differently than private (/whisper, /guild) channels. So you might get away with swearing in tells or guild chat, but it may depend on the circumstances. ie, If the GM considers that you're being hostile and using language to harass another player, it's possible that they'll issue an account penalty.Quote:

really wish i had recorded the convo from last night.. we was having a guild conversation so i couldnt really play much so i had my 4 chars sitting on SW bank steps on elephant mounts (drenai ones) when i get this guy start saying "fag fag fag fag get a life loser go get laid retard fag fag fag fag you like anal queer chinese go get a real job sucky long time 2 dollar fag fag fag fag" or somthing to that extent. in fact he said a lot of things like that and asked if i could speak english.
to this it got my back up a little so i answered "indeed i can" ( on just 1 char) and then he just wouldnt stop. i normally just straight ignore them but i was a bit bored from the guild chat on vent and had nothing else to do so i carried it on. by now i had quite an audience all taking the micky out of this guy. well i knew of a few multiboxers on my server who came and sat in a row in front of me :P this just annoyed him more but it was so funny. he then started up the whole fag, gay, queer thing again ( so at this point he has been homophobic) he also called me "a gay mutha fucking nigger queer" ( now add in racism with the chinese before and now nigger. also add in obusive language in /say into the mix and this guy is digging deeply ) he then started the /emote spam of /spit / laugh ect. to which my reply was do not start the emote stuff as i WILL win it. i then duly informed him of my reporting him to a GM x 4. to this he asked why so i said about the homophobic racist and obusive remarks and that he is going to be banned probably permanantly. he then shuts up but stays standing there with everyong laughing. i then ask why he isnt talking anymore and if he can speak english
Racism will certainly get him in trouble.

If he were smart (though I doubt, from the conversation, that he has a strong grasp of the rules), he COULD report you for continued harassment and bypassing the in-game anti-harassment /ignore feature by using multiple accounts.
It would've been simpler and cut out the risk to leave it be after the /ignore and let him learn his lesson from the GM's mouth.[/quote]Can we get a blue link on that? If that were agaisnt the rule's would not submitting ticketsx5 be aswell[/quote]
There is most definitely a blue post saying "We never will ban someone simply for opening a GM ticket" because they don't want to DISCOURAGE people from bringing legitimate issues to GMs. That's why a person who reports a multiboxer for "botting" doesn't have to worry because "oops, I didn't know what multiboxing was".
However, keep in mind that ticketing a GM can be done completely 100% silently without harassing the other player about it.
Which part do you want a blue quote on? Excessive reporting?
[url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=102422']Can i get reported for reporting too much?[/url] (closest I could find to that reference: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...011904&sid=1#7 -- if you insist I can keep looking further)
Granted, they do NOT want you to waste a GM's time on purpose (i.e. harassing a GM). However, if you honestly had 5 tickets to make, make 5 tickets. BLIZZARD will deal with investigating and doling out punishment. Making yourself trial, judge, and jury and doling out retaliation yourself (sans PvP server justice, of course) is most certainly not the right way to do things.
Now, if you put 5 tickets in and /w'ed the person 5x "REPORTED!" they COULD make an argument that you were harassing THEM, or, at the very least, spamming.
And to really emphasize the point, if you put 5 tickets in, pst'ed nasty words at him for an hour, and then expected not to get banned for harassment, you're fooling yourself. All involved parties are investigated for wrongdoing: including the one that made the ticket.
There's a third option too -
LOGIC BOMB
They think you're a farmer? They think you're a bot? They think you're lol4saleshammies?
Then there is no reason they should be addressing you directly. They should report the issue and move on. If you really are a non-English-speaking native of China, you wouldn't respond to their English jeers anyway. So they can't possibly believe that.
If you are really a bot, you won't respond to their intelligent statements with your cheesy artificial intelligence. So they can't possibly be addressing you with this in mind.
They think you're lol4saleshammies? Then they would have even less reason to hold a conversation or interact or associate with you. Don't they realize that knowing about such an exploit but not immediately reporting it is just as bad as doing it?
So it is obvious the only reason a hater starts a conversation is to troll you. I think you did a great job staying emotionally detached.
The best comeback I ever got when I calmly explained everything in /say was, "dont spam me" which told me there was even more misunderstanding of the rules on their side.
