False reporting and automated ban

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

A snippet because the rest after is irrelevant. I was expressing my distaste about an automated system which it clearly stated it was an automated message letting me know what my “crime” was.

Galdor, IK, but you haven’t proved that it is nor isn’t, and that is a fact. From what I gather, it feels automated. You, yourself, can’t even pull up a Blue Post saying one way or another. Without that, you can’t tell me, that I’m wrong, either.

Thank you.

Is it a static number? We do not know.

Is it a “percentage of of the people in the channel”? Again, we do not know.

Only Blizzard knows the answer to these questions.

I suspect, though, that a static number is far easier to track.

In order to be accurate, a “% of the people in the channel” would require constant tracking of the number of people in each channel just to know how many reports X percentage of the people in the channel is at any given time. Does it have a method to deal with manipulation of “channel population” so that players cannot submit reports then leave the channel to lower the number of reports required to trigger a squelch?

I find it hard to believe that Blizzard is going to track all the variables involved in order to use a "% of the people in the channel. That is just my opinion, though.

Even 10 reports out of 30 people in the channel is still less than half. That would seem to be to indicate that the majority of the people in that channel do not believe they are negatively impacted.

That’s because its at my place. Is this your dog? You shouldn’t let it wonder out, alone, by itself. It could get killed out here, you know? :wink:

An automated message letting you know that the community had flagged your post and a staff member had manually reviewed it.

Thank you for proving my point that there is no auto-squelch system in play on the forums. The system in game is not the same as the system on the forums. Even their punishments are different.

3361

No, it doesn’t explicitly state that a GM reviewed it, and it doesn’t prove any point. Again, you cannot prove anything. You’re just trying to twist my words to fit your narrative. Without a Blue Post, like I said, we cannot prove one way or the other.

Thank you.

Why must people be painting supporters of a system as nefarious griefers? It is not helping your cause. All it leads to is the other side accusing you of wanting to have free reign to abuse the chat channels with no penalties.

BLIZZARD is the one that designed the system and has had it in place for years. Are they complicit in our alleged desire to grief innocent players?

I can say the same about those attacking those of us against the Automated System, too. It’s both sides.

I should have realized you were a troll, much sooner.

Now, we’re back to insults. I’m not a Troll, but thank you for proving my point, that nothing gets explained, every time I ask questions. People (hypothetically speaking) are quick and get irritated easily, when something isn’t done their way, and I’m sick of it. Not agreeing with you and making my point doesn’t mean I’m a Troll, Galdor, but thank you for the Insult. This is why I think the way I do. Y’all (hypothetically speaking) are so quick and eager to name call me, when you aren’t explaining yourselves well :unamused:

Oddly enough it was my posted response to the person who invoked the Third Reich comparison. It was my post where I said it was probably a bad idea to post what he posted.

Go figure :man_shrugging:

They don’t care, they’ll just run this in circles while moving the goalposts. Unless you have a direct Blue post, Mellga can claim anything without evidence as fact, apparently.

I will be 100% honest: I am in a profession that utilizes Photoshop. I could easily make that screenshot say whatever I’d like. :slight_smile:
However the great power/great responsibility thing is something I take seriously.

That is the fundamental issue with discussions.

How Odd

I don’t see why they wouldn’t use an automated system on the forums that could silence players, too. Whether or not they do, I don’t know. But, I imagine you probably wouldn’t see many posts about it since the players that would get silenced wouldn’t be able to post. :stuck_out_tongue:
Also, they’d do their appealing through private channels since they can’t complain about it on the forums.

I will say, I was reading through catching up and my screen would scroll down randomly. I imagine that’s because posts were getting deleted. In any event, it was kind of annoying while I was reading through. :stuck_out_tongue:

3375

That is possible.

I do not track the total number of posts in any thread like a hawk, but it doesn’t seem to me like the total number of posts in this thread dropped, or at least not drastically or significantly.

I make no claim to know for certain, however.

3376

I don’t have time to go through all these posts to see exactly where you went wrong. But typically, people are very sensitive to religion and politics, might want to just completely avoid talking about those with strangers. Things that fall under trolling is making statements that you know are going to trigger a specific response, like what you said way earlier about “build the wall.” On the forums, it tends to be a good idea to stay on topic of the thread. Avoid personal insults. It’s all common sense on how to avoid having any of these problems.
