False reporting and automated ban

How would the system know exactly what the auto squelched person did taht led to them being reported, let alone the “exact text”?

“A response to their aggression”? What “aggression”? Unless they were directly addressing you with harassment, insults, threats, etc. were they really being aggressive towards you?
So, you really do care what other people do or think.

In actuality, though, you are only concerned with seeing classic made as far from vanilla as possible, right?

I’m not asking for “special treatment”, I’m asking for fairness. Innocent people shouldn’t be squelched, for no reason. And you still can’t pinpoint SPECIFIC details. Only VAGUE details to hold people accountable for reasons. I signed it 'cause IK my rights and have appealed, before. Some people just need to chill with their reporting.

Fairness is the same rules apply to all.

You are nitpicking about terms and conditions you already agreed to.

He does and I do. I report people frequently.

And that’s not happening.

I’m not, I’m calling them out for their hypocrisy and failure to abide by their own rules.

Then you are, indeed, the problem, not the others you project yourself unto. It’s like that old saying, you point one finger at someone, there are three pointing back at you. I don’t think these people you’re frequently reporting are really falling into the “hard line” of offense. I think you need to relax a little, stop harrassing the players with false reports and wasting the company’s time with your own personal issues, you’ve got going on.

I barely report people, but you know, you do you. I’ve already said, what I needed to say. I think you need help, and I’m not saying this negatively. I genuinely believe you need a place to let out all that steam you’ve got, building up inside of you. I think it’ll cool down your anger, you got going on to harass other players over nonsensical things.

Good luck to you.

Most often when I hear someone was reported “for an opinion” said “opinion” was racist/sexist/whatever-ist. Just because you have an opinion doesn’t mean it’s one that a decent person should have.

I agree that automated reports are easily abused, crappy and need to go, but I don’t think this is a fight we’re going to win.

It’s called creating a hostile environment. The same reasoning you can’t act a fool at work.

I look at it as being responsible. See bad behaviour, report it.

Thats highly unlikely.

Doesnt matter. I report and let the GMs sort it out. Thats how the system works. See some guy swearing his or her head off in chat? Report.

How do you know they are false reports?

When you see a problem, do something about it.

You are again assuming the reports are for nonsense. They arent.

I find it hysterically amusing that to these people, right click report is “mob justice” but “name and shame” and “public blacklists”…arent.

You’re not wrong, but people also love to feign disgust, outrage and fear which can create a disruptive and hostile environment all the same.

whats really funny is all these people for auto squelch recognize that people against it are asking for gms to look at it and it would take more gms than we have now.

buuuuuuuut it would take more gms than the people against it are asking for to read through the reports to see someone was falsely accused and even more to punish the people falsely reporting.

but no people have to be all authoritarian about things and feel like they should be able to impose their will on others.

sad.

people are punished for false reports, really need to stop trying to push that line.

sure i am sure there are. just like there were people getting actioned for being reported in vanilla.

im just saying people are going to expect to be able to be silly in barrens or trade chat and are going to get people who think what they are doing is reportable and will report them and then will they get actioned for false reporting?

no i dont think they will. it will just be seen as a misunderstanding and waved off.

To be fair I’m sure if a group of people is going around constantly doing it they’ll get punished for it.

However I’m also sure that Blizzard doesn’t punish every single person who does a false report of somebody who didn’t actually break the rules, because that would be absurd.

Who decides that?

Not a bot.

If by “silly” you mean foul language, yes thats reporteable.

No one is saying don’t report. I agree with reporting and letting the GM’s sort it out.

I do NOT agree with player being given the option to collude with friends and/or guild mates to auto squelch other players for whatever reason they want, even if the player they are trying to squelch never broke any rules.

Link the right click report to an auto ignore, not an auto squelch, and let the GM’s review and determine what action, if any, is necessary.
