I just recieved a message for a gold seller website on the forum inbox, zos you guys need to get this under control! The username is demonuik i left the message in my inbox if you wish to see it... I can understand in game but the forums is insanity! There isn't even a button to report the message

    no, you have to send in the report manually from here... sigh. And according to policy they will no doubt rip this down soon, since you named the party... Not allowed to even point out gold sellers or bots on the forum...

    I didn't name the website he went to, if @demonuik‌ is a gold seller he is a gold seller, let everyone know so they can block this usename instead of tearing it down for him to spam the next group of people, ZOS you are handling this situation incorrectly

    The more people that waste their money on these idiots is only keeping them in business, its not that hard to make money in this game nor is there much to spend it on except repair bills, so whats the point of even buying it?

    Remove the name, ZOS has a policy against naming and shaming, if you don't remove it they will ban you.

    Oh no worries on my end, I agree with you. If I had my way all gold sellers / buyers / bots would be posted on a board of shame in all the capital cities.
    However the mass of bot / seller defenders in here will be sure to appeal for the poor souls of the bots and sellers.

    I have no problem with posting the names of known gold-sellers, although by the time you prove it, you can just ban the #@&amp;$.

    The problem arises when someone thinks someone else is guilty, and they aren't. Which why ZOS has a no naming and shaming policy (well that and legal aspects), which is why @Dubah needs to remove the name.

    Um, yeah? Which is why I told him in the first post this would most likely be closed soon. Although I did indeed go on to say that your not allowed to post even known ones, or at least that was my intended meaning.

    They did this a while back. I had gotten an RMT message. I guess the PMs are going to close again.

    No you were clear enough, I was just agreeing with you, and telling him again.

    Lol if they remove me then their priorities are backwards, i didnt do anything wrong im the one who recieved a message from someone who is unwelcome here. I'm not shaming anyone. If you are a man im gonna call you a man, is that a shame? if you are a player of ESO im gonna call you a player of ESO, is that a shame? If you're a gold seller im gonna call you a gold seller, if you think thats a shame then stop doing it, no shame in it, and if ZOS was gonna ban me for it they would have done it already

    What would happen if his/her account had been hacked and you just accused him/her of being a gold seller?

    There is a valid reason for Zeni's approach to naming and shaming and I agree with it.

    If his/her account has been hacked he should be thanking me for dropping the name because i just made it apparent to everyone his account is hacked and being used for this crap. And again, i didnt shame anyone, i didnt go oh this guy is a tool or anything like that, i simply added that this guy is spamming people on the website. Whether i posted it on the forum or not the account would be banned and this has to be stopped, i dont care if it is a hacked account!

    And thank you from ZOS for your response to this message, i will add the name to the thread just in case!
