ToS: Emblems and Guidelines

Hey all,

I'm not here to ask how to report a platoon, an account, or the like.

I already know how to report and have sent many accounts to the ToS dimension and from what I can tell nothing comes back from that black hole except this little problem that's bothering me for the past week.

I'm not naming and shaming any specific account but I've reported a Platoon 4 times this week. Reason: Childish emblem with a **bleep** flailing around in the picture. If we can't snap out of the kill screen and have to be assaulted by players with these graphic pictures, ban them as you said you were going to, according to: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/forum/threadview/2955065670116761303/ 

After I spoke to support they sent me here, after all it seems their only purpose is to be traffic posts.

I would gladly escalate if any admin HERE owned up for the slack that's dragging in the ToS department.

TLDR;

The first 3 requests went unnoticed.

My 4th I noticed the platoon sent visiters to the infamous pornographic website lemonp****. Of course, I wouldn't send you guys there (just to preserve what little innocence you hold onto) but you can google it to learn about the trolls of the internet. It's kind of like when someone asks, how to bring up FPS display in-game and someone says "alt + f4"

Anyway the 4th report seemed to work since the link to the site was removed. I'm about to ask the server admins to ban this platoon on principle that we're doing EA's job besides the way things should be operating. That would be prude (I know), however the players play well and I'm tired of waiting on Big Brother EA.

I understand there can be a backlog of reports to filter through, but where is the fruit of our pains & labour?

Thanks

Don't tell me to grow a pair or I'll flag your comments - we're adults (no minor should be on this game) so own up to your status or go back to COD with your cesspit of phallic-animated-loving brothers.

    Please note that you will not be informed of the outcome of the investigation. This is done for security reasons and this is the reason you will not receive a message that says "we have taken actions and suspended the platoon". You will also not be informed on the progress of the investigation, for the same security reasons.

    For this soul reasons, you will not be able to receive an answer to this question and I am sorry about that. Actions maybe or may not be taken against the offended platoon and its members, but you will not be able to know that.

    Hope you will be able to understand and thank you for your understanding.

    I understand and I will know if there's an outcome if I can't find their platoon page or the player's profile anymore. I intend to keep the servers I play on clean (anyway I can) and hold a special interest until EA pulls through with their promises, case by case.

    I'm not from any special interest group but just an avid player that wants to help the community environment be a fair place to game.

    Regardless, thanks.

    If the platoon or player has been disabled then the report was successful. I can tell you that reporting emblems that violate ToS does indeed work, it just doesn't happen immediately since the ToS team has to get to the report in the long queue of reports and then evaluate.
