Is T-Bagging a Reportable Offense

neverwalk

Swatting isn't a _uckin' game. Grow-up people. Tea-bagging isn't much different-you are a bully.

Definitely a reportable offense. All offenses are reportable. Not the right question, though. Is the report of the reportable offense ignorable? That's the question.

Sure, t-bagging can be seen as a ****** move depending on the context. But you know what’s even more utterly pathetic? Letting it trigger you. If you can’t ‘git gud’ and get even with that person? And pixels squatting over your pixel corpse triggers you that much? You need to consider either A ) not participating in PvP games to begin with, or B ) play a different game altogether.

I had to google to find out what it is...

It's a video game, how can something stupid like that bother you? You guys have serious mental issues.

Aye, I do. Due to being assaulted years ago. I guess I also have "mental issues" because I think respect and honour matter and feel that taunting the person you've already beaten is pretty lame. That probably makes me completely insane in this day and age.

I can live with that.

Agreed with the respect/honor part, but that's why t-baggers actions are seen as laughable and so easily brushed aside. There's an incredible difference between being t-bagged on a screen and being assaulted irl. It's apples v oranges.

What happened to you sucks, no bloody doubt, but when you try to change the very world around you in order to cater to you instead of leaning to cope with your trauma or overcoming it, I'm sorry, but you loose my sympathy. I myself have been a victim of abuse and know of many others who have been through rough ****, but instead of trying to alter the fabric of reality and demand that the world change (aka unrealistic or change that ends up negatively affecting the lives and enjoyment of the many, as seen with the cancer that is PC/SJW culture), we dealt with it. We became stronger for it. If you're not ready to take those steps, then you need to take the steps in order to protect yourself and avoid those situations that trigger you.

You are responsible for yourself, others are not responsible for you. The world owes you nothing, regardless of what happened. Life is rough like that. Overcome it. Be stronger for it.

I'm not trying to change the world around me, not sure where you got that idea. I am trying to get people to see that their actions do have an impact. My da said to me at the ripe old age of 8 "do what you will but be prepared to accept the consequences". So, people who behave badly, well, there are consequences.

Maybe not try to put words in my mouth. I've lived with my "issues" for 50+ years so, whilst I appreciate the advice, it misses the target because, again, I'm not trying to change the world, merely point out that if you behave like a jackass, you are likely to get called on it. And to bring it 'round to the specific topic, I think that tea-bagging is rude and juvenile. Do I expect it to stop? Oh, hell no. Too good an opportunity for people to give it up especially lacking having to face any consequences for their actions.

Minyassa

I dunno. Try it and see what response you get from the moderators?

It seems fair game. I mean reporting is just one person's interaction with other players, just like teabagging, so nobody that teabags should get their panties in a wad over it.

Palidon

If I recall ZOS stated T-Bagging would not be tolerated. However, they do not enforce the offense. I know players who T-Bag often and have never been punished.

I can see why it's offensive to some and funny to some. Those that find it offensive can always report it. I'm very meh on it, I don't see the point of it, but people can find entertainment in all different forms.

I personally always find it super funny when the person who's doing it get's caught off guard and gets killed due to their antics.

No matter what you do, someone will always be offended or triggered for some reason. If this counts as a argument you can prohibit literally everything.

Never. I've never bought into the "it's only a game, who gives a ***" mentality. People are people and the fact that you can't (usually) see them in a game shouldn't grant immunity from behaving badly.

Alas, it does because "you" can do things in a game you wouldn't dare do in the real world and that is simply too tempting for some.

You are somewhat correct there. Being a pvper, if i went out assaulted someone irl like I do in pvp(and no I'm, not saying I will or ever would) I wouldn't be here to post anything. Games are played and you are suppose to do things you can't do irl. SO honestly I don't see the problem here with this "t-bagging" people speak of.

Many don't see the problem, it's to be expected. If we were all the same it'd be a frightfully boring world. I'm also not referring to the "RP" aspects (being heroic, abilities beyond reality etc.) I'm referring to people who set out to annoy others in order to enjoy themselves. Or bolster their egos...or whatever rationalisation they come up with. Obviously one can PvP their brains out without bouncing around on someone's face.

It's sexual harassment and people got banned for it.

Even so many people do it in PVP it doesnt mean that its not bannable.

What? I guess those male toons wearing female costumes should be ban too, because it can be deemed offensive. Same with good looking female toons dancing the Dark Elf style, or female toons wearing skimpy or sexy-like costumes. They should be ban too. What has this game come to? Ha ha

As for tea-bagging, I can see how some can get irked or angry about it, but I can't see it being that bad as to be a banable offense. It is more stupid or can be annoying more than anything. I'm not a t-bagger. The only time I really t-bag is when someone tries to gank me from stealth, either while I'm on my siege or just standing around. I have pretty good resistance, so I have yet to get insta-killed. However, if I turn it around and kill that ganker, I'll t-bag that one. If I kill another in a fair, face-to-face fight, I won't teabag. The only other time that I may do it is just to be humorous. If I see anyone from my own alliance just laying playing dead, you know just messing around, I'll go over and give that toon a few t-bagging. Ha ha

Wait... People actually get triggered or offended by t-bagging?

Gosh I hope it isn't reportable

I think a lot of people take things way too far. For example, if I am RPing and say "This is real war, DC kill everyone!!!" Somene has to come back with "This is not real war, you have no clue about what real war is , i have friends and family that defended our country.. blah blah blah". Then you have players, "ooo don't t-bag me because I think it is some kind of sexual harassment".

Omg, just play the game. If you are a recovering crack addict in a crack house don't you think you might be in the wrong place? If something makes you feel "triggered" maybe do something else to prevent the triggers?"

I don't know who put it into a lot of players heads that squatting on someone's body is "t-bagging" or "sexual asssault". When I was new and got t-bagged by 20 EP I didn't even know what people called it, I just thought it was a sign of them killing me. I didn't feel harrassed, or sexually assaulted.

My advice is if someone does a squat on your head quit thinking it is sexual assault, it is harmless.

Oh, I'm well aware what "cyber-bullying" is these days: If someone doesn't like something, it's bullying, harassment and whatnot. Just because the people on the Internet don't conform to what that one person wants.

Real cyber-bullying is something I'm vehemently against, make no mistake, so don't try to spin it. But a little movement in a game that has been here for eons is hardly bullying or (sexual) harassment.

For you, but not everyone. I realise that it's not going to stop. It's just too "cool" and "edgy" to resist for some. It's just frustrating that some folk cannot grok that it is offensive to others. Maybe ZOS should offer the /teatime as a freebie. Nah, it wouldn't replace tea-bagging as it lacks the oompfh that some players want, much like the flipping bird.

If it is considered by law then yes it can be, might not be fineable but you sure can get your account banned atleast

For t-bagging? I'll believe it when I see it. So far it's hearsay.

Yeah I am still waiting for those that claim it is bannable to present some sort of source. I have a feeling we will be waiting for a really really long time.

Doubtful if it's the occasional "end-zone dance" (wasn't that banned? I forget) but if it gets abused, I wouldn't be surprised given the movement to educate people about cyber-bullying. It's one of those things that should be taken case by case, I guess. Still think the shovel and broom are much better choices.
