That already happens. RCR ignores not only that person, but also their alts whenever you report them. I still feel the squelch is necessary though because if they’re spamming, they still continue to get their message across to newcomers. Which is bad when we’re dealing with gold spammers and extremely hateful rhetoric.

It stops gold spammers far quicker than without squelching. And it’s not like they would care either. They’re likely using stolen accounts to do their thing anyway.

Not all spam is necessarily from gold farming companies either. If they can deal with situations severely with your solution, they can deal with false reporting for anything just as severely. Like with the examples you guys have given where it could possibly happen later on at high level PvE or PvP. Those people false reporting to get rid of a crucial guild tank or healer should be dealt with VERY harshly.

I think squelching players for breaking rules is fine. You don’t. Just gonna have to agree to disagree here.

Selling gold for money is illegal, like jail time illegal, that’s on another level. I would hope the RCR has the ability to flag a comment as illegal and require immediate action by GM’s.
I would also hope if that ‘illegal’ RCR report was incorrect - resulting in a priority alert wasting GM’s time - that reporting player received the worst punishment possible.

It’s possibly why there are different RCR categories. Reporting something as spam might make it a higher priority. Not sure there though.
I also agree with you. False reports should be dealt with harshly.

There should be a zero tolerance policy towards any abuse. No warnings, no silence, no timed bans, just perma them.
Well, that’s authoritarian of you. Zero Tolerance policies do more damage than good. I personally think you are just salty because your other thread tanked badly. You MIGHT wanna step back and clear your head.

How so? The abusers are gone forever and everyone else gets to experience less abuse. Seems good to me.

ah, a stealth edit…I should have quoted you .
By discouraging people from filing reports for fear of that report not being deemed as valid and thus having their account permanently banned.
A zero tolerance policy on the abuse would only work if it could be proven that the abuser knowingly filed false reports. Such a system is near impossible to prove in a game such as WoW where the rules are as subjective as “language that others might find offensive.”
It’s far better to prevent the abuse in the first place by just removing the automatic punishments. Zero incentive to file false reports would do far more to prevent abuse than punishing people who do.
An analogy to drive home the point: would you steal from a homeless person with no money and no food?
Good luck with this. People that can’t simply use /ignore, get their jollies off of reporting those they disagree with.

Why do you care if people « troll » tho? Are your eyes so sensible to profanity you start bleeding at the sight of racial slurs? Just ignore it. Some people find it entertaining.
The only reporting that’s needed is if someone whisper spam you across multiple characters and RCR doesn’t even help that because the guy gets only reported by you.

When you clicked the agree button that meant you read the rules, understood the rules, and agreed to abide by the rules.
Take your crap to.4chan where it belongs.

“this whole letting random people in the commuity to set the rules is a bad thing.”
But doesn’t that make it truly “community standards”?
I do think encouraging people to use the ignore button is good, and in that vein I think they should lift the ignore limit in game, I hit it the other day. Also they should bring it back on the forums rather than leave people to mass report posts they dislike.

You sound like you’re fun at parties.
I’m a blast.
You sound like the type who thinks it’s funny to pee in the punchbowl at parties while telling racial jokes.

I suspect this thread will do just as well as the other multitude on the subject, as it shows how many anti rcr players act like those deserving of squelches.
RCR is fine as designed and is an improvement from what the vanilla system was.

I see this sort of argument all the time, but you know, the only person in game I know who was ever silenced at all is someone I ran pugs with and he was indeed very rude to people on a regular basis. He claimed he was “just reported for no reason” but he called people names constantly. So I don’t buy the “people will just be silenced when they are completely innocent!” arguments.
