The problem with censorship rises from the intelligence and the mentality of the one doing the censoring. I posted the following earlier (it’s embedded in the other party’s reply, so I captured it from there): “Read what I wrote. We’re not allowed to post links so I posted all the information needed to find it. Further research on the source documents on which the article is based will give all the numbers. It’s there if you want to do your research of it.
An overly-active amygdala is often displayed in defensive behavior.”
My post in which I gave the initial information referred to in the one above was left up on the forum. This one was not. It was “flagged and removed by staff”.
I can only assume (perhaps incorrectly) that the phrase “overly-active amygdala” was the problem. I may be wrong.
If that phrase was the problem, then why it would be is beyond me. It’s a part of the limbic system which adjoins the temporal lobe of the brain. If that’s why the removal, then it shows a really unfortunate lack of intelligence or sense of the part of the person doing the reporting and on the part of the person doing the removal.
And therein lies the biggest problem with letting any one person or small group of people be in charge of censorship - with a major exception. The problem is you could have really stupid people in charge of censoring people who are smarter than they are, and that would be hilarious if it were not that it could also (in some circumstances) be really dangerous. The major exception would be when it’s a body (corporation, military, etc.) who owns the circumstance (such as Blizzard owns these forums), in which case the owner of the circumstance can censor as they please regardless of how stupid it may be. And it’s not up to any of us to do anything but keep paying to play and shut up, or take our money elsewhere.
Basically, if we don’t like what they’re doing, that’s tough. With the cut-backs, firings, and general restructuring within the parent corporation, there is less attention going to be paid to anyone here than there ever was.
That’s all, folks. Have a great game, and let’s all hope Blizzard doesn’t screw up Classic like they’ve screwed up so much else.
I’m not saying that they will remove the player imposed punishment.
I’m saying that we do not yet know whether they will remove that player imposed punishment, retain the player imposed punishment but adjust the target report number to trigger that player imposed punishment or use the exact same system that is used in BFA.
If I am not mistaken, the last statement from Blizzard regarding the right click report system in Classic is that Blizzard acknowledges that the BFA system is not “compatible with the vanilla environment” and is having internal discussions about how the system should be implemented in Classic.
If anyone can provide a more recent official Blizzard statement, please do so.
So, I’m not allowed to make mistakes? We’re only human. I already acknowledge yesterday was a chain of negative energy. I don’t want to hold onto those grudges.
However, what you did to me, and you know what you did, crossed a line. It was personal and hurtful. I’m merely asking you, for the same courtesy because I never sabotaged you, the way you sabotaged me. Please don’t abuse me like that, ever again. Thank you.
And, I’ll only address you, if you present false information (no, I’m not calling you a “liar”). I’m only ever mainly in this thread, anyway because it’s important, to me. I’m not following you around, in other threads. I’m just here, to discuss the topic at hand, just like you are.
As far as I’m concerned, today, I haven’t been out of line. Thank you.
Holy moly Batman! Way to take something from a completely different thread way, way way out of context. I guess there’s absolutely nothing from Retail that will be used in Classic because they’re completely different games.
When did I say that nothing from retail will be used?
The fact that they are, according to Blizzard, “two separate games entirely” means that a system that is used in retail will not necessarily be implemented in Classic in the same manner it functions in retail, though.
I’m sorry, are you really asking me to find a citation for you of what you are saying happened “if you are not mistaken”? Fairly certain the burden is not on me.
No. I AM asking yo to do a forum search for posts by Ythisens and tell me what results are returned, though.
I tried to search for posts by Ythisens using keywords and no posts by Ythisens were returned.
I then tried to do a search for any posts by Ythisens and not one post by Ythisens was returned. Posts by Ythisens DO exist, though. This is obvious because I just quoted one. I can also scroll manually through all the threads and see posts by Ythisens in some threads.
I asked you to do that search and let us know what results were returned because I wanted to see if the search tool was not acting properly. That is the only reason.

Blizzard could implement the right click report in Classic without tying it to a player imposed punishment system, they could retain the player imposed punishment but require more reports to be received before that player imposed punishment is triggered or they could implement the right click report exactly as it is in BFA.
Because you didn’t want to spend 30 seconds looking through the Blizz Tracker at the top of the forum, you decided you would just make something up instead:
