False reporting and automated ban

[Prufinnor-wyrmrest-accord]

Yikes.

And once again, you’ve repeated the word, itself, more than I ever have and used it as an example, just like I did, but I only did it, once. One time. And if that makes me a “Racist” monster, than I guess you are, too. If you’re putting this much energy into painting me as such, I can’t help but think it’s just a reflection of yourself.

I called you out when you made the post

I have been informed that’s against the code of conduct around here; may want to dial it back by 40% squirrely pow-pow.

I already reported her for harassment. It’s extremely hurtful that anyone would even do this, to anyone. Just put out insinuations of untrue things and hoping people just buy into it.

I’m going to defend my reputation, no matter what.

Why do you act like it’s one person silencing you, you’re clearly annoying enough that a large chunk of your server doesn’t want to hear you.

Annoying does not warrant preventing another player being able to play the game; this is why we have the ability to IGNORE people in game.

OR do you think it’s ok for people to DDOS each other? Because honesty that’s what this is at a fundamental level.

Well actually no it’s like you getting informed that the community doesn’t want to hear whatever it was you had to say and used a built in and sanctioned system to let you know that.

This thread just took a seriously dark turn.

We don’t know how many people it takes to trigger a squelch, let alone if it requires a “large chunk” of the server or “the community”.

If it only takes 10 people submitting reports to trigger a squelch, how does 10 people equate to a “large chunk” of the server or “the community”?

Note, I am not saying that I know it only takes 10 people to trigger a squelch. I am using that number as an example.

[Mellga-area-52 (Mellga)]

I think it’s time you do some research before continuing to spread misinformation.

I gave you my experience as an example. It’s the same System, automated, I mean. I’ve been talking about the Automated System, this entire time

EDIT: No Automated System, please and thank you.

EDIT 2: I don’t think it was manually done, either. Especially since I immediately put in an appeal, as soon as I received that message from “System”. Yet, waited 3 hours for a GM to “review” it

EDIT 3: And if I’m really wrong, it shouldn’t be difficult to prove to me that I’m wrong, right?

It takes however many people blizzard has deemed sufficient for someone to be considered squelch worthy.

The good news in all of this BS is that blizz can patch/turn off this feature after its abused over and over , sad thing is it will be abused and will be a tool for tools who dont get thier way in BGs and open world ganking. Along with a ton of other reasons.

Is the burden on the people to disprove your theories?

It’s on everyone to provide evidence to their claims. I talked about my experience as an example/proof/evidence. I can take a screenshot, if you’d like. It’s just that Galdor doesn’t seem to think that the Forums/Game run the same Automated System, yet he didn’t give me a link, like he always does, when trying to make his point. I wondered why he went off script this time, around

[Galdor-maelstrom (Galdor)]

I haven’t responded because I can’t even believe what you’re trying to imply. It’s completely asinine and I don’t even know where to start with this one.

That doesn’t even come close to indicating that a squelch means that “the community doesn’t want to hear” the squelched player.

YOU claim that a squelch is a player “getting informed that the community doesn’t want to hear” whatever it was that person had to say.

I’ll ask again, how does 10 people even begin to represent “the community”, let alone “the community as a whole” as you have previously claimed a squelch represents.

That’s it, just insults? This is a first, for you. I’m implying, both the Forums and the Games run an Automated Silencing/Banning System by X amount of Reports and BOOM automatically hindered (whatever it may be). It’s not manual, it’s automated, and I’m against automated. Whether it’s a Silence or a Ban, is irrelevant because it’s automated.

[Galdor-maelstrom (Galdor)]

I had a post flagged for review a couple weeks ago. I was still able to post. Posts are flagged, a CS employee reviews them. You don’t get squelched when being flagged on the forums. They’re not the same system, even the punishments are different.

I don’t believe that because the Post in Question that Missuspowpow (using as an example, this is not an invitation to talk to me) was spewing misinformation about, I was unable to post on the forums. I sent in my request for an appeal, and it was appealed. Are you telling me, a GM reviewed it, punished me, reviewed it, again and removed my punishment?

Again, either way, IDC what type of punishment it is, I don’t want it automated. Period.

Well now that depends on how many people are listening. Should it be based on a percent of how many people actually saw whatever comment it was? Sure I wouldn’t mind that.

Yes, that’s exactly what happened.

The other good news is that they have both 10 years of practiced data to view, and the ability to tweak it to whatever variables they desire.
