There’s a guy on Americas SC Ladder that makes a game every single day called “I hate bl*cks” (censoring so I don’t get banned). The description is also racist every time. He sits afk in this game 24/7.
I’ve reported him every single day for the past week, and I’m sure I’m not alone. Yet evening I log on and see his new game.
I know this game isn’t probably moderated by a person, but surely the number of reports he’s getting should set off a bot or something? This is absolutely ridiculous.
If Blizzard isn’t doing what you think they should be doing about this situation, perhaps it’s time for you to move on. Blizzard “cares” about this game enough to barely maintain its ability to play online, what makes you think they are going to police the players actions 24/7? We’ve been reporting player generated problems with this game ever since its release, specifically mass botting, and they are still a problem. Racism, or any other player created problem is going to fall under the same umbrella of “we don’t care” when it comes to this game.
Edit: for clarification:
…enough to 24/7 monitor and immediately remedy the situation for a game that doesn’t make us any money? Would 
you want to pay for hundreds of people to do this, on the fly at all times, any time, for a service that doesn’t earn money? (One time payment for the game, play “forever”) No, you wouldn’t. Thank you for the report, our “AI” put it on “the maintenance list”.
-Frugal Blizzard Shareholders
Meanwhile in a closed door shareholder meeting at Blizzard:
(fly on the wall 
)
Shareholder 1 (in no particular “ranked” order other than who spoke first):
“Hey, I think Diablo 2 would be a fantastic testbed for using this fancy shmancy “AI” the tech geeks keep raving about to police cheaters.”
Shareholder 2:
“Yeah, but we’d need to make sure it’s at least 99.99…%” effective… Think of the appeal process."
Shareholder 3:
“And if the “thousandth player” reports the same issue more than 3 times?”
Shareholder 4:
“Well then I guess there’s a need for at least a skeleton crew running at all times. Oh that reminds me, how’s that internship program coming along?”
Raymond:
“Just fine, Sir. Here’s the monthly report. Jensen Huang is on line 2 wanting to know if you’d like to purchase one of the diamonds that fell off from his second oldest leather jacket that he has… You know, for “memorabilia reasons”… He said he’d arrange a photoshoot later for proof of authenticity, that is if you want to buy it without any haggling.”
Shareholder 4:
“… I think I just heard a toilet overflow.”
Picks up line 2 and hangs up.
Raymond:
Footsteps and a mop bucket rolling…
I hear it is rampant across the whole internet
unfortunately blizzard doesn’t care about chat lobby.
d2:R was made by Vicarious vision… but the adaptation to bnet 2.0 as all “activision”
which is why it’s so god damn aweful.
i did orginally have hope becuase they let us search by difficulty
but they also cant even let us copy and paste game names properly, have the game name auto populate when u click on it so u CAN copy it
and the chat lobby is 100% unuseable
these are the main issues with d2:R. and are honestly imo a bigger issue than hilariously broken things like mosaic.
it was never a problem in the past because you could not only mute people, you could create and moderate your own chat channels and filter messages by creating your own filters, and even download block lists full of spam bots so u didnt have to filter each one
People with Zero all resist and no defence, armor or block crying they are getting one shot in Hell
Report function without consequences is like laws without consequences.
They are a company, i don´t have to buy their products in the future if I don´t like what they do or don´t do.
I think this game has a chance to make money for Blizzard if they actually start paying attention to the feedback and suggestions that the players give them as that might get new people to play the game and populate the servers so the veteran players have others to play with on a regular basis
Nope, never gonna happen. This game doesnt come with a monthly sub and it probably sold like 99% of the copies its ever gonna sell, any further development or resources spend moderating the game lobbies and banning bots would be wasted, it would be nothing but a money sink. Unfortunately we are no longer the target audience, it is the shareholders and they already got our money and the peanuts they earn from the few new purchased copies are barely enough to maintain the servers and keep the game alive. Besides anyone with the slightest idea on how this old game works and how to make meaningful changes no longer work for Blizz, it would end up like just another dumpster fire D3/D4 copy. The only reason they do occasional ban waves is to sell new copies to botters, usually they do a discount at the same time to make sure
Learn to let takes you disagree with not bother you. Just ignore things you don’t like. Be an adult.
There’s no helping these easily offended people.
“Sticks and stones”
You have multiple solutions:
It takes a lot to trigger an account review. Many different people need to report for the same reason. While bans have occured (bans outside of overwatch, D4 and WoW are across battle.net) it is pretty rare.
Methinks OP just needs to grow a thiccer skin.
Exactly. Unfortunatly this “disease” has spread to all the various aspects of society, never have people been so easily offended as they do in todays society and somehow it seems like trying to fix the problem only makes it worse
ignore racism is not “adult”, it is ignorant at least if not supportive.
edit: and stupid 
… What?
OP would have an aneurism on the OG MW/COD lobbies 20 years ago looool
Literally no one but you cares.
Big surprise, people all around the world are severely racist. I would say ‘no one cares’ if he hates black people, but here you are…
The game is literally run by cheaters (botters and RMT traders), and you have a problem with one game name? 
called free speech. sure it sucks but the alternative is worse. you see censorship not only silences others… but it also removes your decision on what you can hear. free speech is the foundation of every freedom we have. really words can’t hurt you… unless you let them… it is your choice how to react. grow up… think about it … your letting morons hurt your poor weak fragile feelings. why? why do you give others so much power of you? its your choice and attitude. stop being a weak child… man up… or woman up… censorship == tyranny… ignore and filter speech yourself… or someone else will do it TO you and every one else in this country/game/world.
