Thread for bot reporting

price101610 · November 2019

Since the devs aren’t working on performance fixes, can we please have a persistent thread to report bots. The devs could log in and delete those accounts!

1) Naming and shaming are against the forum Code of Conduct.
2) There'd still need to be an investigation as it would otherwise be a good way to get any account that annoyed deleted or just random trolling.
3) Not to mention that just because you think someone is behaving like a bot doesn't mean they're actually botting.

Greetings, if you'd like to submit a report, we highly encourage you to submit a support ticket here: help.elderscrollsonline.com/app and provide as much information as possible. Screenshots and videos are always helpful.

We currently do not allow for players to try and report other players on the forums as it violates our "no naming and shaming policy"

Naming-and-Shaming: We do not allow posts or threads that are created for the purpose of “naming-and-shaming” other community member(s). “Naming-and-shaming” is the act of creating a post to call out an individual or group by name, and making them the subject of public accusation, ridicule and/or shaming. Generally, naming-and-shaming involves an in-game situation and/or Terms of Service violation, which the ESO Community Team is unable to assist with. A certain amount of rivalry and competitive razzing is healthy for any game community, especially one with PVP elements, but naming-and-shaming goes well beyond that. It typically elevates to a point where the subject feels legitimately harassed. We believe that naming-and-shaming posts and threads can be abused and are very harmful to the community. We also don't feel that publicly calling out or accusing others by name on our forums is in spirit of the game or our community. If you genuinely believe someone has violated our Terms of Service, you should report them in-game via the support interface — do not bring the situation onto the official ESO community forums.

This rule is in place to protect other players from being falsely accused and then potentially harassed. Again, we ask that you alternatively submit your report via our ticket system. This way we can fully investigate.
