A formal apology

But But they stopped the bots and multi-box farming ROFLMAO!

Apparently stabbing and slicing someone to death is just fine, but say ‘beat they a.s’ is a problem.

I just saw 20 bots about 7 hours ago and reported them

literally every single one. Just because it has become normalized to swear doesn’t mean it isn’t still profanity.

Don’t apologize lol

lmao don’t apologize for that, that’s hilarious.

Dunno. Doesn’t even make George Carlin’s list of “seven words”…

Roflmao! thats funny don’t care who you are.

This makes absolutely no sense. Try again.

You can still be offensive without dropping the F-bomb :wink:

The filter is a nice-to-have feature. People have always been able work around it. It also glitches, and censors some non-offensive words sometimes.

For me, I leave it off. Swear words don’t offend me. I (usually) see them as adding color to a conversation.

That said, something that is truly offensive won’t be filtered out. Like racism, sexism, or what have you. Some people live to offend, especially in an anonymous online environment.

It is those people who cannot be filtered, or endured, and so it is up to moderators to deal with them. Content that a reasonable person would find offensive.

Swear words don’t offend me either but I leave it on because I think it’s funnier to see the filter.

It isn’t a flawed system… quite a few people had to report you for the automatic system to kick into effect. You were probably reported for spam, and that is appropriate.

You should also realize that this penalty system is multiplicative… So 24 hours for a 1st offense, and it doubles for each offense after… So 48 hours for a second offense; 96 for a third, 192 for a fourth and so on. There is no cap to this system either.

The email would than show you all the offenses, mine literally just showed this one, and it stated it was for this one offense. Like i said im not a talker in world chats in the game etc.

Last time i asked something in the chat i got bombed with thunderfury and a…l spell links…

That is also why I try not to ignore too many people. You get these gaps in the conversation, and you’re left wondering why it doesn’t make sense. Then it’s like, “Ahhh… one of the people must be on my list.”

I don’t know if that’s true. I was up in the middle of the night (fell asleep waiting on some baby turtles) went to Oribos only to hear general chat full of eleven year olds talking about sex and having it. At least it sounded like kids talking about something they had never seen. I mean, come on, its the middle of the night and you’re playing WOW. Obviously you aren’t doing what you claim you are.

i feel your pain brother, too many snowflakes play wow now so we gotta tip toe around even swearing.

I remember when I would enjoy flavor text on all of my keybinds. Those were the days. Gals are gals and men were men.

Do NOT start apologizing to every person you “offend”. I am sure nothing you said was out of line if you cater to all the Karens in the world you will never be able to be free.
