Can i disable the 'potentially offensive message' nonsense?

my argument is that the vast majority of rules are stupid. new ones are always added, old ones are never revoked… and eventually you end up with a rule system so convoluted that A) EVERYONE is a criminal, and B) you need to hire a professional to decode it for you.

The thing is, Blizzard rarely if ever updates its CoC. The real problem comes from that little clause of “things considered offensive”. As pointed out, folks can choose to be offended, or I guess not choose if almost everything offends them, daily.

A more structured list is actually given above this in; posting about someone’s: race, sex, orientation, status, etc.

Those are things considered personal attacks/insults and we have a no call outs rule that states drama should basically be kept to oneself and people should not be accused of things or doxxed.

THOSE are actual guidelines and “rules” to follow, “don’t ‘offend’ anyone” is not.

Communication in wow and society as a whole is completely stymied these days without the ability to throw in the occasional gamer word, smh

I grew up hearing that profanity is the marker of a small mind. I still use all the profanity and if I can use it in a different language I would. It is not a gamer accent it is the spice of life but not everyone like that spice, it is cilantro. Typo was thought to be a work around for a censored word.

Understand that censored words are not to protect you or the children. They are to protect the company from liability. So it does not matter if you state you are okay with the words, the companies overall policy on them supersedes that. They are not going to allow anything that can potentially effect their image/ sales.

I grew up where if a word carried the meaning of an entire sentence it was more efficient.

No ones whines about specific words they whine about the meaning behind them.

Its less liability and more marketability. Games are still seen as for children.

social anxiety / is sensitive to criticism.

Is that even I thing. I heard about it when I moved to USA couple times, but I didn’t this that this was an actual thing

[Ssear-zuljin]

The social contract has been crystal clear for some time. The entire conversation stemmed from a warning that pops up in game they couldnt simply ignore or get over that it exists now.

[Tiresias-moon-guard (Tiresias)]

Yes, the meaning and the treatment that comes with that mean.

Some time…

You can just say im right without trying to go " umm well, you see ackually"

@Primalmatter-stormrage

To be fair the ToS is a ever shifting thing its never been hard rules. The people who support the ToS today are not the ones that did in early wow.

The CoC in this game has barely changed in all that time. The only thing that really changed was enforcement of it.

We’ve already seen the posts comparing old rules to new rules and they’re almost identical.

This is a private space. If you behaved the way you do in my home you’d be kicked out of there too.

wow, sounds like you hate free speech!!! /s

[Ssear-zuljin]

It is amorphous specifically to stop people from meticulously trying to find things that aren’t technically against the rules. It evolved in response to people trying to circumvent the intention.

Um yeah actually… I have social anxiety… wanna know what it’s like to walk into a shopping mall or have to work in a public area and constantly fear what other lesser intelligence people are gonna do on a daily? Hmmmm?

Not a USA thing, just part of being human. Didn’t help that the last place I worked at got shot up at 9 PM at night or the occasional crime scene of blood or any dozens of other things people did on a regular…

[Pyri-shadowsong]

blizzard please let me see the swears. i forget i’m an adult if i don’t see at least 20 cuss words per hour!!

[Primalmatter-stormrage (Primalmatter)]

I don’t know… if blizzard started banning lgbt guilds again I think it would cause more of a stir then it did in the past…

[Ssear-zuljin]

You arent right.

The rules have not changed. The CoC has only clarified stances on existing rules.

i dont need to be protected from ‘naughty’ words

Be careful saying those naughty words because if anyone want to report you that is a easy suspension. You don’t even need to be insulting people or anything, just swearing is enough to catch a ban if people report you for it. No naughty words, this is world of hugcraft after all.

[Sendryn-sentinels]

Where is that against the rules?

@Jarddy-kalecgos

im not 6 years old. i dont need to be protected from ‘naughty’ words. especially when half the time its a typo, and the other half is a friend being expressive. i am so tired of this kind of stupidity.

Careful.

If you use this language and people report you, you’ll be punished.

[Primalmatter-stormrage (Primalmatter)]

I don’t really argue with people about what color the sky is. If you see green im gonna accept you see green.

Im still gonna say blue.

[Primalmatter-stormrage (Primalmatter)]

You are asking me to recall specifics from almost two decades ago now… I think it fell under sexual content.
