An Official Warning after 6 Years

I have been playing Cyrodiil since many years and recently i got an official warning for the first time. I get tbagged frequently and rarely hate whispers. Both of them i do, as well, but nothing too extreme. Never got a warning and also never annoyed from them, have been seeing them as a part of the game, sometimes laughing when i am getting tbagged. Many times a hate whisper conversation turned into a wholesome one really quick. No big deal.

Recently i got a really weird encounter, i killed a player that chased me and then i directly proceed with my tbags, and the guy instantly started to whisper me stuff like "Please do not tbag me, i tell you to stop, you are hurting my feelings, etc.", which had a tone that i have never seen before and found really weird, and was the first time i have seen such kind of messaging in Cyrodiil. His sentences were really textbook sentences, very clear and concise and i though he is just messing with me, and having fun so i didnt stop. Because who writes stuff like that in Cyrodiil... And couple days after i got an official warning that says i didnt stop crouching when other player asked me for it and this is harrasment.

Apparently this guy got to know that he can get other players official warning exactly like this, he created almost a plot and got my account a warning by deliberately writing super nice and clear sentences, recording the gameplay at the same moment and then afterwards reporting me with that video. So, just wanted to give a heads up to everyone who play Cyrodiil, this scam can happen to you! So, be careful out there, tbag only the most trustful enemies of yours! Be safe out there tbagging!

    That is precisely what ZoS tell players to do when tbagged or harassed: tell to stop, if it is not working, report. So, from what I see the player followed ZoS's instructions to the T.

    Have you guys ever been to Cyrodiil, or do you just do Housing Contests with your guilds?

    My brother in Christ, that is literally the process ZoS outlined for how to deal with being teabagged. It’s not a scam. It’s standard operating procedure.

    Breaks ToS, comes to the forum to explain how they broke ToS.

    Is this just a self report or is there any other point to the post?
