Real GM mail? - Blue Tracker

#0 - March 30, 2009, 2:31 a.m.

I recieved this mail today and I'm pretty confused about the meaning of it.

"A user on this account was found to be publicly advertising for services outside the scope of those permitted by the realm populous. Given the volume of reports received regarding this advertisement, we will be upholding this decision. Consider this email notification that advertising of this type has been deemed disruptive by your peers and should not continue in public channels.

Understand that should this activity continue, a temporary silence will be placed on the disruptive character disabling their ability to communicate in public channels for up to 24 hours. This is done in an effort to allow a realm to police itself, no official action is being taken against your account at this time. Please keep our gaming policies (http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=20309) and Terms of Use (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/termsofuse.shtml) in mind during any of your time inside the World of Warcraft. "

This email is obviously about the casino I've been running, but I'm confused about the action its telling me to take. Is it telling me to keep it in City chat and not trade chat or to not have the message said at all.

Thanks

The e-mail is basically saying, Smallpackage, that those on your realm have expressed their disdain for such advertisements and if you continue to advertise in a public channel your chat ability may be temporarily removed.

Any invalid complaints may be reviewed by our Game Master staff and overturned but any valid ones very well may be upheld.

Your peers, are policing their own realm and have deemed such advertisements as inappropriate for their environment. We have not applied any penalties to your account but if these activities continue you could temporarily lose the ability to speak in public channels.
