The silence was, the automated squelch has been in the game years before the Legion Pre-patch. Please stop spreading misinformation.

I wasn’t questioning your mental state, this is becoming quite ridiculous. You’re not going to accept multiple dictionary definitions; I guess we’re done here then.

You are questioning it by asking me if I’m being “serious”. I am accepting multiple dictionary definitions, you are not, though. An Ignore List is STILL a FORM of a BLACKLIST. There’s NO denying that. No matter how many other “definitions” you throw at me.

Even though, I agree with you, that a Public “Name and Shame” is a despicable act. Ziryus even agrees that an Ignore List doesn’t publicly shame, but that doesn’t change the FACT, that it’s still a LIST of people you are AVOIDING/EXCLUDING. Isn’t that the point of a Public “Name and Shame”, as well? :thinking:

Sigh.

Putting someone on ignore, is not similar to putting someone on a Blacklist. I feel like you’re trying to redefine “Blacklist” into being just another synonym for ignore. The ignore list we have in game is a personal list of players you will not see speech from.

That is not synonymous with a Blacklist.

I believe that putting someone on an ignore list is akin to putting them on a personal blacklist.

I do not believe that putting someone on an ignore list is akin to adding that player’s name to a “public list”.

Once again, I do not condone “public blacklists”.

I do recognize, though, that those “public blacklists” will likely occur in Classic, even if they are maintained on third party sites over which Blizzard has no control.

However, you are ignoring a very important difference between “public blacklists” and a player imposed auto squelch.

If Timmy thinks that Johnny “ninja’d” that shiny from him and adds Johnny’s name to that “public blacklist”, Johnny can still talk in chat to offer his side of the story and Tommy and Billy can still make their own decisions.

If Timmy thinks that Johnny “ninja’d” that shiny from him and conspires with his friends to squelch Johnny in revenge as “punishment”, Johnny cannot talk in public chat to offer his side of the story and Timmy and Billy can only make their decisions based upon only one side of the story.

You’re trying to redefine Blacklist. The very definition of a Blacklist is not in alignment with how you’re trying to define it.

I’m not redefining it. I just showed you my source explaining exactly how I feel about it. An Ignore List isn’t about stopping one’s speech, at least in Retail. You won’t group with them, either. And if you can’t communicate, how are you going to trade your goods amongst each other?

My Ignore List, is my personal Blacklist. People I want to avoid/exclude. That aside, we both agree that a public “Name and Shame” is despicable and drama inducing, and I want NO part of that kind of community. Bunch of Drama Queens, they are :unamused:

Again, you’re trying to redefine it. Please tell me which dictionary definition mentions a Blacklist as possibly being a personal list for a single individual. Look up every single front page definition of Blacklist when you google “Blacklist definition.”

a list of people, countries, etc. who are considered by a particular authority or group to be unacceptable and who should be avoided and not trusted

Group or Authority.

Good Lord, I added the word “Personal”, in front of it because it’s MY List. AND, I already did. Please, look at my links:

And if that doesn’t do it for ya, lemme Highlight here:

Oh cool, looks like you can keep calling it an ignore list instead of trying to redefine Blacklist.

2506

I’m not. People on my Ignore List are regarded as unacceptable and/or untrustworthy and should be excluded and/or avoided…under MY Definition of “Blacklist” that I gave.

Are we REALLY fighting about this?

“Authority”–as in the individual in charge of maintaining their own “personal blacklist”.

He is. I think either A) he really doesn’t get it or B) would hate to admit that he does indeed “blacklist” people :thinking:

I’m hoping the former…

EDIT: DESPITE the fact, that I agree with Public “Name and Shame” is HORRIBLE!

Under YOUR definition of Blacklist, okay. Not the actual definition, your definition.

2513

When I say MY Definition, I’m talking about the one I provided. Do I have to link it, again? Just admit it Galdor, you’re personally blacklisting people.
