Good day (well, kinda, if you sort this a.s.a.p.)

The 6th of may I was on my character Zalasar, witness to the following conversation in Orgrimar, in /s

((From WoWchatlog.txt))

5/6 22:47:15.093 Iilyas says: ahhh sprechen sie deutsch?
5/6 22:47:16.015 Traxs says: jaa
5/6 22:47:20.218 Rocheku says: nein
5/6 22:47:21.281 Traxs says: nein
5/6 22:47:23.359 Traxs says: haha
5/6 22:47:25.078 Iilyas says: O;o
5/6 22:47:25.375 Rocheku says: ich bin eine jode

((Which translates roughly as "I am a jew"))

5/6 22:47:28.312 Iilyas cries on Traxs's shoulder.
5/6 22:47:30.109 Rocheku says: sich heail
5/6 22:47:33.406 Rocheku says: heil*

((Meaning "Sieg Heil"))

5/6 22:47:34.921 Bazelle points at you.
5/6 22:47:35.140 Iilyas says: lol
5/6 22:47:35.328 Corro says: l1speel
5/6 22:47:38.484 Traxs says: ich bien habben aan mn kunt te krabben
5/6 22:47:39.265 Corro says: its called juden
5/6 22:47:44.031 Rocheku says: hahah ukkel

((I whispered the player:))

5/6 22:47:46.765 To Rocheku: Looking to be reported?
5/6 22:47:48.421 Traxs says: BAZELLE

((To which he replied:))

5/6 22:47:56.859 Rocheku whispers: anythime sweetheart
5/6 22:48:03.531 Rocheku says: ach jah

5/6 22:48:11.093 Rocheku says: die duitsers toch
5/6 22:48:12.203 To Rocheku: Consider it done.
5/6 22:48:14.937 Rocheku says: wat een lef
5/6 22:48:18.296 Rocheku whispers: thank you
5/6 22:48:22.125 Traxs says: jah he altijd wille ze winnen
5/6 22:48:28.187 Rocheku says: ja mannuh
5/6 22:48:34.234 Traxs says: vieze sieg heil hoertjes:P

((This last line means as much as "Dirty little Sieg Heil whores..."))

I wrote a ticket, and spoke to GM Nyghaurn, who handled my ticket.
Imagine my suprise when I got banned today, with the following explanation.
I hope this is corrected AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Kind regards,

To say that I am livid would be, by all means, the understatement of the year....

This is apphauling
They had NO right to ban you for reporting an offense that someone else did. No right at ALL.
They do NOT have any valid reason. They should FIRE the Game Master that banned you and they should give you at the very LEAST one free month and a formal apology.
They have FAILED to follow standard procedure and they have FAILED costumer service rules.

Could this possibly be a misunderstanding? A mistake on their part? Perhaps they got the names mixed up. I know it's far fetched but I can't understand you getting banned for reporting misbehaviour.

They got the names mixed up and ended up banning the wrong person, because they employ incompetant morons that shouldn't be allowed to come into contact with technology more advanced than a spoon.

By the way, it was all sorted in less then an hour. I filled in the form on the site as well, and contacted a GM on Rhya's (my wife's) account. Put the question as "concerning my husband's account"

Now, the GM that appeared opened with "Hello, I am GM so-and-so, can we speak about your ticket regarding your husband's account?"

When I said "Ofcourse, and by the way, this is the husband in question..."... I got threathened with a banning of -my- AND my wife's account, because I was using it...

I stayed calm... amazingly. But someday, I am going to tear someone a new one. With a spork. A rusty, Ebola-infected one.

NOW SOMEBODY GET ME A SUSPICIOUS MONKEY!

... and for breaking several realm policies, namely the RP policy, foreign language policy and abusive/offensive language...

Still, nice to see that you found a reason to troll your way into our little forum, Tets, welcome to the WoW club :)

[mod]Just to nip this in the bud right here, let's cut this particular piece unpleasantness off right there. From one perspective, I've [thread=4275]covered this ground before[/thread]. However, more specifically, do not rain on other people's parade: constructive, positive, please.[/mod]
