Toxic Community Corrupts Every Tool Given

Looks like someone has had a streak of bad luck

nah just like to see them actually do something instead of letting the inmates run the asylum

This is what happens when you have a report system that penalizes innocent players more than toxic players. They stay, never reform and continue to spread the infection whereas good players lose their patience and leave because of the rampant toxicity that the report system is supposed to address.

You say everything is abused, yet have a problem with them only giving us 2 players to avoid. That stops it from being abused, does it not?

my point was this player based abuses every tool there given

they only thing they did with a small step in the right direction was avoid but 2 slots is laughable

Players are also abusing the flag system on the forums to make sure no discussion can be had on the mercy megathread.

its getting quite ridiculous.

I understood the point and don’t disagree at all. I was just curious how that part got thrown in.

And yet the good old mute button never ceases to fail and is literally impossible to abuse (because the only person it affects is the person who mutes the other person).
Blizzard need to stop wasting time trying to fight a war that cannot be won unless they remove all forms of player interaction altogether, there will always be a**h*les, it’s impossible to change that.

Sometimes the the best option is to just ignore them.

yeah but that doesn’t help when they report ur account for nothing but playing the game

and there is no recourse to remove that false report.

Why are a-hole normal?
Why is natural to abuse each other?
Why are we accepting the fact that nothing is (not can) be done?
Because everyone is lazy and doesn’t wish to do more work than required.

Fortunately, there is. There is some sort of time-based component to it. If you stop playing on that account for awhile, nobody knows the exact time; however, my educated guess is a month, it will dissipate. It is not as though one report every week will eventually get you banned randomly. It needs to be in a burst to take effect, luckily.

nope ab chat reports no longer fall off since the change to suspentions

Or they should for once do what is expected of them - use humans to police community. Automated system can’t make right decisions, and is easy to abuse.
Crowd justice isn’t working.

This could be avoided by simply white listing that thread, but for some reason that doesnt seem to be an option.

Yea but its easier for them to remove it from pinned and let it be eternally locked.

its not like they were reading our feedback anyhow.

lots of good feedback upon feedback posts just drowned and forgotten there.

Its treated like a garbage can, no denying that.

How exactly are private profiles and LFG abused? The whole point of the former was that you can hide your data, regardless of whether some people find it useful to sum them up with a glance of their profile. The latter is for finding groups to YOUR liking. If you join a group where they want a mic and you don’t have one, you’re gonna get kicked. Nothing abused about the systems. We’re self-policing now and they are working as intended.

well seeing how there are now throwing,and boosting groups running rampant its kinda a problem.

especially now that private profiles can hide their stats so its even less likely that you’ll notice that bronze player that’s now gm in just the next season. or vice versa.

That’s just how competition works: you can try fair, and most likely stay at same level(or even fall lower), or you can try to bend the rules.

But that’s like saying chat is abused because of the bad eggs who trash talk or curse you out. People grouping up to throw and boost(things that are already against the rules) isn’t the same kind of abuse as, say, the unintended use of avoid player that led to people ousting out REALLY good players and affecting their queue times. We need to make some distinctions about “abuse,” is what I’m saying.
