It’s hysterical to me that someone arguing in favor of auto-squelch (a system dictated by individual definitions of rule breaking) is arguing against individual definitions. I think the theme isn’t any particular issue…it’s just about arguing.

Which is NO WHERE IN THE DEFINITION OF BLACKLIST BECAUSE THE DEFINITION OF BLACKLIST MENTIONS ONLY A GROUP OR AUTHORITY.
It’s about facts, which you routinely ignore.

Good Lord, you did NOT read the Definition I provided! How many times do I have to spam it?
Also, the Players are NOT of “Authority”. So, there’s no such thing as a “Blacklist” then, so you have no need to worry about being “Blacklisted”.

Nope, just you.

I expect this to dismissed as it’s only an MvP quote. Mogar will continue to spread probable misinformation unless he gets a direct quote that he can’t knowingly misinterpret, from a Blue poster.
I do not know why you are replying to me.
I specifically said:
“It is also possible that I am incorrect in thinking that both the player imposed punishment of an auto squelch and the Blizzard imposed punishment of a silence were added at the same time. If so, then I apologize and concede the point.”
You even quoted me saying that.

Regardless of the dictionary definition, a blacklist back then was referring to players you avoided for any number of reasons, and word spread around if the event was big enough/happened a lot. You weren’t obligated to put them on ignore.

I replied to Mogar with the full post. I can even take a screenshot and show you if you want. I needed your post for the full context.

I apologize for the misunderstanding.

I didn’t even definitively prove that you were wrong but it is likely. I don’t have a direct Blizzard statement that the automatic squelch has been in place for 10+ years but I have multiple MvP posts stating as much. I don’t think they would continue to spread misinformation year after year if it wasn’t the case but it may be possible they are wrong, I just think it’s unlikely given their posts.
Mogar probably doesn’t realize that I’ve only responded 82 times to his 1320 posts. I don’t pick out his posts despite his constant passive-aggressive comments towards me. I only criticize his posts when he says something misleading or factually incorrect, which is what I try to do indiscriminately to everyone. I get things wrong sometimes and I admit it when I do.
Although, some of my posts towards him may have been a little aggressive, as I do get tired of being called a troll despite proving him and others wrong on multiple occasions.

Categorically false. Period.

Hello pot.
While he’s at it he could add some actual citation for his claim that the auto-squelch system has been in place for 10 years. Claims of posts from Blizz forum butt-kissing MvPs is not remotely credible…
