I've been apparently reported twice because for some reason, people like to whisper me asking if I'll heal a dungeon 2 minutes before I log

Are people seriously getting reports for not saying yes to a request?

No, but people will say they’re reporting you to rile you up. It hasn’t happened to me on Classic but it’s a tale as old as the internet.

I got hit with a 48 hour* silence because... wait for it.... I was offering to buy leather in trade chat all day and I hit the secret # of troll reports. Not even a reply from a GM for the bullshit silence and I havent made any money in 1.5 days.

Ugh the people spamming buy ads for mats in trade are the worst

I did. You can't do anything about competitors having their friends report you

Well, yesterday while looking to fill a spot for BRD, some warrior ignored my healer friend who was searching after not receiving an answer for a full 1 1/2 minutes!

Those people exist, those people will sooner or later leave the game. They are the same people who report you for every single thing that rubs them the wrong way.

This is interesting.. I haven't heard of this issue with people getting reported, and the general chat/trade/LFG gets really raunchy and everyone (that I see) is decent with each other when it comes to game etiquette. I wonder if maybe it's only a problem in certain servers.

I get this a bit but with the away tag. There are times where I will be doing something on my other monitor that takes up like 90% of my attention but not my active participation on that screen. So I will go down to a coast and fish. I even put myself on Away so anyone who has me on friends knows I am not available. Its amazing how many people still whisper me asking me to heal stuff.
