That’s what I was asking.
Seems like it would fall under abusing a system to harass/grief someone.
I don’t see blizz allowing players to do it.
If they did. We would be seeing what some are trying to claim is going to happen in classic.
Yep people need to understand this, WoW launched as a new game today would never work. Star Wars tried is years ago and it failed horribly.
it has nothing to do with wow other than orcs hating humans and humans hating orcs.
you did miss the point of my post and what i was responding to. ty for playing though.
btw not all of us roleplay all the time and do like to talk about things outside of the game.
You’re role playing every single time you log in.
Even here in the forums.
Whether you have a fleshed out back story and always stay in character or not.
It’s a role playing game and you have an avatar representing you.
As long as those things are within the CoC you should be fine but you knew that.
As does everyone.
People just want to be able to spout off whatever nonsense they want in game.

there is simply a new generation of gamer snowflakes that are overly sensitive and will just NEVER be able to play well with others.
I wasnt aware that good manners, common sense, civility or discretion had ever gone out of style.
even to those who should never be there.
And who decides that?
You?

no. people want no squelching without a human giving the ok for it.
and for there to be a penalty for false flagging someone if there is not one yet.
you are dealing in hyperbole . stop it.

Wont happen. As has been pointed out, human review takes time, so no.
The same rules will apply for Classic as they do for live. Look…you LITERALLY cannot have two sets of rules. There has to be a universal standard applied, for fairness across the board.

doesnt have to be . they are two different games. theres different rules for ow and hots. classic and bfa are two different games.
the effect of a squelch is more pronounced in classic , making a rule change needed.
and we have yet to see if it will happen or not. the blue post in this thread seems to point that they are aware of the issue.

No they are not.
WOW and Classic is still WOW.

If they do I will be VERY VERY surprised. You cannot have a double standard.

Or it makes following the CoC even more important.
Good citizens. Good community.
Which is what classic is really supposed to be about?? Or so I’ve been told.
better watch using these words round these parts.
People might jump on their alts and mass flag you.

the community survived and even thrived without an auto squelch. not to mention it would actually hurt the community with people abusing it and the world not being as colorful .
it wasnt in vanilla anyways. so its not really change needed its to not implement it in the first place in classic.

Really?
Can you have a gnome hunter in Classic? Can you play a blood elf in Classic? Can you play a Highmountain Tauren in Classic?
Does retail have the talent trees that Classic will have?
Will I be able to use that shiny piece of gear that I obtain in Classic for my retail transmog?
Should I be lucky enough to acquire it, will I be able to use that ZG tiger in retail?
Classic and retail may share the name World of Warcraft and a single subscription will allow you to play both games, but they are not the same game.
We already know that the “rulesets” will be different for the two games.
Sharding is used extensively throughout the entire world in Classic, Some would have us believe, though, that Classic will use a different “rule” for sharding and that sharding will be used only in the, as yet undefined, “starting areas” and only for a brief time at launch. Wouldn’t it fall into the category of “double standard” if sharding is not used extensively throughout the world in Classic, when it is used so extensively in retail?
CRZ’s would be another “double standard”, being used extensively in retail, but not used at all in Classic, if Blizzard is to be believed.
Now, does that mean that they will change the “rules” for right click report to require human review before a squelch, a silence, a suspension or other action is taken? No, but it does not preclude the possibility, either.

The chances are highly unlikely.

I’ll be interested in any stories of people petty enough to try and their accompanying bans.
Please link any you find or have found from current.
You can’t find one yet it’s this massive mountain of a problem. LOL
Yea. The humor of my comment sailed just a bit too far…
Blizzard is already using a double standard.
How far that double standard will go remains to be seen.
Do you think that might have more to do with practically never seeing anyone from your server or seeing the same person more than once in a blue moon than with a potential for abuse in the system?
No, because it’s a different ruleset of the same game.
Same for the rest of the differences in rulesets you have listed.
Thats why it’s one sub. It’s a server option with a different ruleset. It’s still World of Warcraft.

I disagree, at the very base level WoW is still WoW. I still login and play in Azeroth, SW and The Undercity are still there. Encounters are still the same holy trinity design.
