Teabagging

Ezareth

However it is easy in an HTML email to modify the text in a modern browser to read whatever you'd like it to read without the use of photoshop (lol). In all of my correspondences every interaction with ZoS has had the customer greetings and closing with either a Regards or Warm Regards.

It is possible the email was altered in this way for a warning about a completely different offense and that would make sense to me since the emails are usually addressed to the player by their real name established on the account.

Let me help a bit here...

This from the Code of Conduct to which we agreed to when bought and installed the game:

2.5 You may not harass, threaten, embarrass, or cause distress to another customer or guest using ZeniMax sites and Services. This includes but is not limited to verbal attacks, unwanted messaging, personal attacks, stalking or any other undesired behavior used to cause discomfort or disrupt another customer's experience. At all times users will refrain from attacking Age, Race, Disability, Sexual Orientation, National Origin, Pregnancy, Gender or any other protected category under Federal or Maryland State law.

If you happen to teabag a sensitive player who is at the same time the customer of the company, and who by this felt uncomfortable enough to leave the game, thus the company losing a customer, yes, the company have all the right to warn and moderate you.


Here is the link btw.

Whoever reported someone for teabagging is the biggest virgin, and i get teabagged everytime i die.

However i'm still skeptical wether this is real or not, No way a company is gonna warn people for teabagging, If this is real its pathetic.

I feel sorry for people that will go to the trouble of reporting teabagging as harassment. It must be exhausting, looking for ways to be offended all the time.

It may be animated pixels, but clearly it was offensive to whomever reported it. And here's the kicker, it was meant to be offensive by whomwver did the deed.

It may be virtual but when you are competing against others it becomes a sport of sorts and it is extremely poor sportsmanship to behave in this manner. Can you imagine Lebron crouching down over someone sprawled on the floor after he pwns him?

I went to a lot of trouble to type this once, so I'm just going to leave it here:

You cannot control other people, you can only control your response to them.

The world and its people can not, and should not, be sanitized. You do not have the right to never be offended. People will sometimes act in ways that you find distasteful. If you are extremely uncomfortable when this happens, focus on reducing your emotional response, or remove yourself from the situation if possible.

You do have the right to live free of harassment and threats. Being harassed and threatened is not the same as being offended, and trying to paint one as the other does a serious disservice to people trying to fight legitimate bullying.

Tea bagging or other kill celebrations do not constitute harassment or threats. Receiving multiple tells from a person, or targeted tells from multiple people, is harassment. Report and ignore. Statements or actions alluding to physical harm, promoting self harm, intent to disparage ones character, personal or professional reputation, or financial security, all constitute threats. Report those immediately, and strongly. But again, tea bagging doesn't count.

Ok, I'm done. We can all return to our normal, offensive, irreverent online behavior now.

LeBron no, but others certainly. I can picture Iversen doing it and I can picture others egging him on. Actually I can picture this from more than half of the younger players, and more than a handful of the "more mature" ones.

But the example doesn't really hold water, because they are being paid for their conduct on the court. This is a freaking video game.

Okay then is it okay in a college or high school sport?

Looks real enough to me. I've seen some wonky ZOS emails before, ones that had the training cues left in them, like to the employee, it was strange. So I believe it's legit.

However, that's even more disappointing bc I wish it were fake.

It's totally obnoxious that this is their focus honestly. Teabagging? I mean really.


How about just FIX THE GAME ZENI. Don't leave nirn for 5+ months to just waste away at magicka users. Don't let crippling lag discourage thousands of people from playing this game. Be diligent about the RIGHT things. People will teabag regardless. Everyone's got their own opinions about it, but truth is, it's a part of playing a competitive MMO.

Whoever reported this person for teabagging, I think this game is more your speed: http://www.hellokittyonline.com/

2. "undesired behavior used to cause discomfort or disrupt another customer's experience"...GANKING.....it's so killing my mood in this game so its causing discomfort ..REPORT all gankers...grinding in MY cave on my time ( i was there first) its disrupting my experience (GAIN )... REPORT

Am i reading this Code of Conduct right?

Not on organized teams no, but I promise you things like this happen in pick up games at rec centers and neighborhood courts. And nobody cries about it. Regardless, you're clearly looking to make a big deal out of this and no one's going to be able to talk you out of it. So carry-on.

myrrrorb14_ESO

Actually, I dont care that much about it. Just pointing stuff out to those who do. It is in fact poor sportsmanship and was meant to offend people. I think its funny when I get tea bagged after killing off half the group that jumped me.

By defending this practice so ardently, you are just showing your true colors. I am sorry if I offended you by pointing out how offensive your actions are to others.

If it's possible to receive an official warning for teabagging, then between the two of you, you've probably got a stack of those babies in your inboxes.
(lookin' mostly at you, Zav >.>)

Edit: on that note, from now on, every time you teabag me, I shall report you to ZOS for sexually harassing my character's dead, virtual body, causing me extreme emotional distress that will no doubt affect my willingness to purchase costumes in the crown store.

My most offensive actions are here on these forums, I've never tea bagged in game. I'm fully indifferent to being tea bagged, or any other celebration. I do take a hard stance against those that use their offense as a tool to harass others. Puritanical ethos driven censorship should be subjected to intense scrutiny.

Additionally, I have seen planned and targeted reporting in ESO be used as it's own form of bullying and griefing. When well known players get hit with the banhammer, it's worth wondering about the legitimacy of the reports.

I agree to this. Unfortunately it does happen.

I see the attraction to t-bagging I just prefer not to act like a 14 year old ***

I try to get off a /bow or /honor whenever I can after a good fight

Junglejim82

I shower cap my balls just to make sure they stay dirty and sweaty . Yknow , all fluffy and stuff from new boxers then I q cyrodil , remove said shower cap and make sure as many get nut dipped as possible. All part of the sport, bag or be bagged survival of the fittest . I've tasted so many balls over the years I get knicknamed Elton .

Wow. A bunch of uptight people over pixels. Dumping burning oil on peoples heads, stealing, murdering innocents people. All part of the game. Squat over someones face, fully clothed however; thats just unacceptable.

*drops mic*
*teabags everyone*

Truly a sad state of affairs that people would rather feel so abused/harassed/victimized by a random pixel character instead of enjoying their game.

What has happened to people over the years.

Only time I get teabagged is:

1. That player you killed 20 times that evening finally gets a Zerg and you go down. They didn't participate at all in your death but feel the need to teabag you. 20%

2. I put on a bow, high Stam regen, slot bombard and just spam it while roll dodging. This really incites teabagging; one time I had 10 people teabagging me with one person raging at me. All I could do is laugh as I walked to the fridge to get a drink. 70%

3. Friend teabags you because reasons. 10%

thelordoffelines

Because of this thread i think ill step up the amount of people i tbag.

Yes, and when your guild/group teabags you instead of rezzing you, laughing at you for getting killed while doing something dumb. Or maybe that just happens to me

They are lying to you, i think i have seen that screenshot before.

Confirmed that @Jules loves being the recipient of someone dipping the groin on her. Do you have a preference as to who the groin dipper is? #Hektikdipsthegroinsolovingly

The forum staff knows whether this is real. If it is real, the policy of discussing moderation comes into play and they will close this thread. If it is fake, they have the option to close the thread as presenting misinformation.

I am waiting to find out which it is when they close the thread.

Of course, they have read this and that could modify their behavior. Therefore, I will not post this. But, if I don't post this, they might be expecting me to do that and that could change what they do.

Nope. Not going to post this.
