WoW Petopia Community

OK this been happening for a few days now we have reported him to blizzard and has done nothing about him...

I am on Alliance his a Horde... His name is [...] on server name Shandris

What he dose for his mission is he comes out of no where and comes ruins your tame... 2nd mission he comes and success to kill your Rare pet.

He laughs then summons away... Like seriously how can blizzard let this keep happening...

I have 10 friends this has happen to them from same guy even they all reported it... And still nothing... Like seriously dose blizzard not care about there own Member's that pays alot of money to play not to get bullied and get your pet killed for fun.

I cant keep up with this crap any longer i am screaming out to get rid of this jerk killing every1 Rare pets!

Is there any way i could get him to stop all together? I don't understand why blizzard hasn,t given him warning he would of stopped by now if they gave him a warning.

[...]

Is there any way i could video him put him on YouTube for blizzard to see?

Thanks for listening.

Moderation note: No naming an shaming, please.

Petopia forums has a policy against naming and shaming. And to be quite honest, the "proof" is everyone talking about him, not him saying a word to damn himself. So it isn't even proof. I'm sure there is a place for this on WoWJackass.com, but there is not a place for it here. Here is the proof of that:

Mania even bolds it for us.

Ah... well i didn't know i just asking what i should do that's all it just annoying getting pets killed

I seen few ppl complain but i thought it be good place ask for advice that all.

It could be that Blizzard is watching him and letting him hang himself, like they do with botters. We know they're taking harassment of hunters seriously from other posters' experiences. But advice can be asked for without names or screenshots.

You may want to edit out the person's name from your opening post. :) As much as we all hate people like that, there's not really much we can do here, naming & shaming just feeds the drama. I'm sure that Blizzard is aware of the situation, they can see everything that's said or done in the game through their logs. Why they haven't done anything beats me, but they probably have a good reason for it.

Can we shame people who can't even be bothered to use spellcheck? I don't have any sympathy for those who aren't even able to put a coherent sentence together.

i dont understand what the screenshots are trying to prove, or what the person is trying to do to him and his 10 friends.

Hyperbolic it seems

A rule is a rule. Creating exceptions makes it less of a rule, creating more and more people refusing to follow it. There's already people refusing to remove the names as it is, which I find rather low too. If you prefer to keep on naming, this place probably isn't for you.

It's not like I agree with anything these people are doing, but by naming them you're just giving yourself trouble. For what? Do yourself a favor and don't fall to the level of these jerks.

This is uncalled for, regardless of who you're talking about.

Are we the grammar police ? I personally don't care if someone can't spell perfectly, or use the perfect grammar. If I can read and understand what the person is saying, then It doesn't matter really. This a forum for Hunters/WoW and not a place where we judge others based on how they spell.

Furthermore, some people have actual, real learning disabilities when it comes to things like spelling. Other people are not native English speakers, and English is really hard to get right; there are no consistent spelling rules as in many other languages, for one thing. Don't assume it's laziness. Some people are trying as hard as we can reasonably expect them to and still can't get it perfect. Understandable is important, yes, but simple misspellings and typos generally don't interfere much with that.

I have a learning Disability period, so grammar and spelling are not my strongest, but I do my best.

There are far more lazy and stupid* people than there are ESL and disability having peeps. There are often specific mistakes one can pick up on for ESL peeps. Yes, it makes me twitch to see poorly typed posts, especially if there's no good reason. But I suppress the twitch and chug my soda. I loathe chat speak with the power of a thousand disgruntled help desk workers. I am saddened we really don't teach grammar or spelling much in school. And yes, I've been called a Nazi for proofreading someone's paper in English Composition and correcting their grammar. Awesome. Because you know correcting errors in a paper means I want to invade Poland. Yes, English is a difficult language to learn - although it does vary with the native language the person has (Native English speakers tend to do pretty well with German, etc).

But that's off-topic and the post was still inappropriate. Twitch quietly if it really bothers you because we so rarely know the full story. Spell check does little for chat speak, poor sentence structure and the like anyway.

The game is full of good and bad people. Report any griefers and have your friends do so as well.

For the TL;DR or Teal Deer crowd: There are reasons people may have poorly typed posts, be it emotional, laziness, stupidity, disability or ESL but be an adult and suppress the twitching because we rarely know the full story. Also Novikova is a Grammar Communist or something.

*Technically, this is apparently an ablist term. I have yet to find a suitable replacement. :/
