Heck, its not part of the TOU but players are also encouraged to "out" ninjas or unfair players publicly on their servers as well!

Um..no. This can be considered harassment.

Nope, in fact in the past blues have posted in "ninja" reporting threads telling folks to take their reports to their respective realm forums.

Yes outing a ninja player is totally supported on realm forums and in your realm's chat on the server.

However, as i stated already, you musnt break the TOU when doing these reports.

Harassment is also looked at and judged by the GMs.

Usually just outing someone matter of factly without any ire or maliciousness to that person is totally within the rules, its when you add insults, and repeated spamming, etc, that it usually becomes "harassment".

Report,ignore,move on.

Even if someone is breaking the ToU, the OP's point is that it is ALSO harassment to publicly announce that you're going to report someone and say things like "You only get to play because I allow it".

You can sincerely tell someone that they are breaking the TOU and are getting reported and leave it at that and be TOTALLY IN THE CLEAR.

But yea, like i already stated, when you cross the line and break the TOU yourself while reporting other players, you yourself stand a good chance of getting reported as well.

EDIT:
Oh as i recall they do look seriously into players who simply use the "ive reported you" as a form of intimidation to other players. This is typically seen as such due to the fact that telling someone they are being reported when they in fact were not reported is seen as harassment.

If that is in fact what OP is talking about, then yes thats also harassment.

But as i have posted already, if you think you are being harassed, report that person, ignore that person, and move on.

if you want to report some 1 do it.

I don't think I've ever run into the sort of thing you're talking about. If I'm watching or using the trade channel and stuff gets offensive and abusive I don't say a word to anyone about it, I just report.

And it's not that I want to report a guy for swearing over and over and over in trade. I don't have any desire to see his account actioned, I just want him gone... but with our ignore list limited and trade garbage so prolific, reporting players is really the best option.

Disliked and reported for the hell of it

The operative word is "can".

Here's an idea. Dont break the ToU and no one can harrass you with threatening to report you.

Internet bullies ...

What power do they really have? The ability to CAPS LOCK you to death? Seriously?

If you're getting upset by what people say in a video game, a chat room, some peer to peer network, or anything that allows people to HIDE behind a computer and spew forth senseless banter, then I suggest you not participate in any of these types of entertainment.

In other words, quit taking this crap so personally ... it's no more real than the pixels you're killing to get pixel money.

Ignore the person harassing.

If they constantly start creating new characters just to harass you, report them to a GM.

You understand that this type of thread is against forum policy. If you don't delete the post I will report you and have it done for you.

In other news; you mentioned in the end that if you are going to report someone just do it. The people that cry REPORTED don't actually report anyone dude. If they did it would auto ignore that player and you wouldn't see them responding to every reply.

The best part about this thread is that I can say...

I have Trade Chat turned off...everywhere!

Were they just threatening you with a report or did you do something to earn that report? If they had no reason to report you, then report them for harassment. However, if you were doing something worth reporting, then the system is working as intended.

The OP is like:

(╯°□°）╯ - Come fellow WoW players! Listen to my tale of trade chat trolls on my realm threatening each other with bans they cannot give and harassing each other using the ToU to mask their harassment!

And everyone is all like:

(╯°Д°）╯︵┻━┻ - WELL YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BROKEN THE RULES OP!!!

And I'm all like:

┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ) - Dude...you guys...he wasn't talking about himself getting reported for doing something wrong. He's talking about people on his server using the ToU to harass other people that THEY feel are breaking the ToU. Even if someone is breaking the ToU, the OP's point is that it is ALSO harassment to publicly announce that you're going to report
someone and say things like "You only get to play because I allow it".

So much win with this. This population is so quick to rip someone's head off. Sheesh.

I like the table flipping analogy. ignore players who consistently try to bully you into thinking your account will be banned. Easy. If their goal is to hurt your fun, ignore them

Examples of WoW rules being used as harassment way would be...what? Just confused.

And then you're all like:

And then Orlyia is like:
