First of all I want to make clear that I never leeched a BG ever (I even
have anti leecher addon and I wrote posts about it here..)!
Ok so yesterday I did some BG with my mage before 20.00, then I was invited
into a heroic. We did Underbog and Mechanar heroic in a row and it went
really great we ended at 23.15. After that I decided to do some more AV
before logging and here it started :s I entered AV and as soon as the gate
opened a priest from another server started saying in /bg Report Sylver (me)
he is leecher he leech every game repot him all. I just couldnt believe what
I was seeing. I said it's not true at all but he just continued STFU you
leecher I know you always leech.... I got immediatly reported even though I
said it's not true at all and I am in field of strife already going south...
noone else was that far ahead either. So I had to engage in pvp to remove
the debuff and since I was forced to attack a horde in a stupid spot to
remove the debuff I got killed after running into IB tower to defend. The
guy continued to spam /bg all the time like I was the worst leecher of out
time... he said a LOT of things that even half AV started yelling at me. I
got killed at IB tower and spawned at SH GY the second I spawned there he
started even more than before: "OMG look at Sylver he is leeching AGAIN look
he is idle in SH (I didnt even spawn yet) and the sec I spawned he got me
reported again. I tried to explain it wasnt true but it was impossible every
thing I said was followed by liar and leecher. It got so bad that I couldnt
be alive 5 sec before getting inactive debuff and this guy continued to
insult me and make all AV against me making it impossible to play. I stopped
and opened a ticket to GM for harrastment as I just couldnt stand it
anymore. I talked to GM after and he said they will investigate.
After the incident I went to armory and I tried to look if there is any
other sylver in my battlegroup but there wasnt any so I really dont
understand why all this happened, only thing I understand is that the guy is
a total retard.

This is what happens when forum trolls level up and gain the ability
to start trouble in the games as opposed to out of the games.

The only thing you could do here was to report him. The other thing
you could have done is kept the debuff until you got to where you were
going. If you were going to join offense, which it sounds as if you
were, don't worry about just engaging in combat to lose the debuff
until you get to your target, be it a tower, a GY or galv. At that
point they could report you all they wanted, but since you were in
combat it would have made no difference.

You could have also, if you managed to make it to a large group of
people, don a /s or a /y, which would have put the chat bubble above
your head where other players would have seen it, realizing you
weren't AFK but were involved in the battle.

He most likely picked you at random too. I would imagine once
Blizzard investigates it, he will get a ban for it. He probably
thought it was funny at the time, but he won't be laughing the next
time he tried to log on.

First, you critted my eyes with a wall of text. Learn to paragraph.

And I gave it my best, but could find no sign of your opponent's name or
server.

Then I guess the other option here would have been to play defense,
particularly at SPGY, which becomes a huge sticking poin for the horde
if it is well defended. That way the only combat you would engage in
is PvP combat, and it would be often enough to keep the debuff off.

You dont lose the inactive debuff engaging in pve (galv, drek etc) you need
to kill a horde and it's really to find horde when you go in attack.

Noone cared too much, people saw me in attack but noone said anything. First
time I was killed I said omg people I am not AFK just ask the 5 I died with
defending IB bunker but noone cared at all.

What he did all the game is first say to all to report me and the sec I got
inactive debuff he said exactly: "look he has debuff he is leeching OMG
sylver you leecher" I would get the debuff off and he would say to all to
report and after I got it again he said the above...
Usually in AV I defend bunkers then I go to FW keep but it was impossible as
I got the inactive debuff as soon as I spawnd on GY and it was impossible to
get the debuff off defending a bunker. I got the debuff like 3-4 times and
took it off that many times too but was useless and I ended up at the end
with 60 honor and the rest got 360.

Ive played (and admined) online worlds for decades (yes decades, MUDs
count).

Here is something I have noticed. Such problems are almost always from
people who did not play up thru their levels. Im not sure why but it is
often true. People who get their levels by relying on others to get them
thru each step are the absolute worst about thinking that they uderstand
the complaint systems and who to complain about.

As much as I want to be a good samaritan Ive become hard on the subject
of people begging to get thru something. Especially when it is obvious
that they are too low level to be trying, or are having problems because
they do not know how to play the levels they already have. Its not that I
care if they earn their levels. Its because I have seen what people like
that become when they get higher in the game.

I usually first write all then edit and paragraph, I was writing from work
and I suddenly had a lot of work comming so my option was send immediatly or
delete all.

I didnt write the name but if you are interested it's Callum priest from
Bloodfeather EU.

This type of antisocial person seems to be in about 10% of battlegrounds,
always attemping to cause trouble. Usually you can pick them out because the
first thing they'll do before the BG starts is:

/emote has reported you afk. Type /afk to un-flag yourself.

Perhaps people have started to get wise to that and the typical antisocial
battleground dork has had to resort to finding a new tactic to annoy
people... I applaud you for reporting him to a GM; maybe it'll backfire on
him.

Alas, that's not in any of my battlegroups. Perhaps someone else here can
watch for him.

Yesterday, I was in Shattrath and a warlock in Trade channel was
asking to buy Golden Thread x1 and Burning Coals x2. Being a warlock
myself I recognized these 2 items immediately. I do a /who on him and
see he is level 40. From the items he is requesting, he is working on
a level 31 warlock quest to get the Golden Bloodrobe, a series of
quests resulting in a rather nice blue robe that tends to last most
warlocks through quite a few levels. The quest is hard to solo at 31,
but at 40 should be a breeze.

Both items he is asking for are quest items. The Golden Thread is
obtained by taking 1 gold bar to a goblin in Booty Bay. When you give
him the gold bar, he tells you it will take time to make, and to
return to the original quest giver in Ratchet for further
instructions. The original quest giver tells you to go gather some
other items in the meantime, one of which is to gather 2 Burning Coals
from the fire elementals in Arathi Highlands, level 36-38 mobs. After
turning in these other collection quests, you are given the quest to
return and pickup the Golden Thread.

I whisper and tell him this information, and he tells me he already
knows this but didn't want to waste the time gathering those items and
just wanted to buy them. I tell him he can't buy them, the Golden
Thread can only be obtained from the quest, and the Burning Coals only
drop when you are on that quest. I get no further response from him,
followed by "[2. Trade] Numbnutswarlock: WTB Golden Thread x1 and
Burning Coal x2." Obviously I didn't get through to this guy.
