An Eye on Player Behavior and Reporting Improvements

[Goodberry-nazgrel (Goodberry)]

I’ll be wary of whispers, too.

[Bloodypaws-frostmourne]

No clear mention of reporting abuse.

System failure.

@BlizzardEntertainment

fun

uh… you said the one F-word that isn’t allowed here… better go get the bar of soap

[Orcofcolor-kiljaeden]

I can’t even imagine what kind of mine field awaits you and our other non-American friends. There is already a very strong anti-Latin American bias on the American realms.

[Blizzbanned-bleeding-hollow]

The tighter you grip the more players will slip thru your fingers and move on.

The more woke the game gets along with woke moderation the more boring it will become and more players will leave.

[Oedon-kilrogg]

Best to keep any and all chat to discord or any non blizzard affiliated system. Better safe than sorry.

@Honeypot-moknathal

Am I the only one planning to keep conversations to wisps?

Some on here (like myself) will be turning our game chats off entirely and just communicating through Discord. I don’t want my 12 year old account to risk being banned because someone reported me in PvP for saying the phrase “git gud”.

[Honeypot-moknathal]

I do stupid macros on this bear that make me laugh in time walking dungeons. I should stop that fun too probably.

[Estalayia-borean-tundra]

@Aubadon-stormrage

Because “git gud” is elementary trash talk that shouldn’t be a bannable offense in a competitive war game

I agree, it is very elementary.

Again, you shouldn’t be banned for doing it once. You completely ignored this part of my post:

@Estalayia-borean-tundra

I think you should get a warning then silenced. And, if you really can’t help yourself, then yes, I think you should be banned if you can’t respect the rules

[Goodberry-nazgrel (Goodberry)]

I noticed this. Blatant. And already punished for that. It’s the reason I can’t post photos any more.

Edit:
To clear, I was punished for not knowing everything about American English slang.

[Blizzbanned-bleeding-hollow]

Yup same here. Im turning chat channels off because too many folks are so easily offended now and the moderation is automated so a real person will never see whats going on with the abusing the report system.

[Vixy-atiesh]

Also, I would like a version of the game where players don’t treat even mild discomfort from insults as if they’ve been mortally wounded…

[Shanaida-moon-guard]

@Orcofcolor-kiljaeden

There is already a very strong anti-Latin American bias on the American realms

And in many parts of the USA, which is just as much if not more sad

[Estalayia-borean-tundra]

@Honeypot-moknathal

Am I the only one planning to keep conversations to wisps

Nope.

Been doing this (well, Disc, but I digress) ever since Squelching was implemented.

[Cursewords-tichondrius (Cursewords)]

I am glad Blizzard accurately depicted the Community situation with that image, by showing the Alliance being rude and vulgar to the Horde.

[Syncretic-norgannon]

@Goodberry-nazgrel

• No years of study will make us ever able to understand all the chaotic and ever shifting details of porno slang terms, nor of whatever is “appropriate” in such a context.
• Remember this before deciding absolutely “inappropriate” silences and punishments.

This is a better version of what Orcofcolor said, minus the weird and offensive stuff about white people.

I don’t think you or others like you have that much to be worried about. This enforcement effort is likely more focused on behavior combined with language.

[Estalayia-borean-tundra]

@Mirasol-mannoroth

That is what they are doing. The in-game warning in some cases if several people are reporting at once. A silence to start with for a minor infraction, then Suspensions of various lengths, up to account closure if they keep it up, OR the offense is bad enough

IK.

Been playing this game since BC. I’ve seen the many changes this game has endured.

I just find these doom and gloom posts hilarious. Nothing has really changed.

@Cursewords-tichondrius

I am glad Blizzard accurately depicted the Community situation with that image, by showing the Alliance being rude and vulgar to the Horde.

The Horde’s profanity filter accidentally censored the wrong word and now that unfortunate souls 15-year-old WoW account is banned.

I’d be much more optimist if I had not been already been punished for not knowing a porno slang term, though the context was totally innocent.
