This is why I don’t like right click report, if there is a reportable offense that is worth a GMs time to look into, the player will take the time to open a ticket. Right click report is two buttons that can be easily clicked in the heat of the moment without even thinking of what actually happened. If someone is bothering you in game, the ignore feature worked well and was the only feature needed. No need to report someone that you cant see messages from anymore. If Blizzard wants to cut time of GMs, making it so they don’t have to look at 100,000,000 reports a day to see only 100 actually said something worthy of a suspension or silence, just get rid of right click report.

I repeat. If the GM gives them access, then what they take is what was allowed for them to take, one cannot take items from a locked tab, hence one cannot steal what has been freely given.
If you only want people to have access to certain mats, then thats what GB access controls are for.

No they wont.
Tickets take too long and even if you do, they will tell you to use right click report anyway…same as the best way to get attention here is to flag a post…which is what i do when necessary.
What are the reasons you report players in game?

Spamming, foul language, some of the more…off colour comments that are way beyond tolerable ( there is a line you dont cross ), carry sellers and gold sellers…oh and gamblers advertising.
I rather just put them on ignore. Spamming isn’t really a big deal.
They have a filter if it bothers you. You are only reading this, its not like its affecting your wellbeing. Words don’t hurt people.
Ignore button. Unless its discriminatory then I don’t see a need to report or even ignore. Again, you are only reading this, its not like its affecting your wellbeing. Words don’t hurt people.
This is a reportable offense but I usually just take a screenshot, open a ticket, put their name, time they advertised, where they advertised and what they said. GM answered ticket and dude went offline in front of my eyes.
Are you talking about the people who sit outside of banks and gamble with gold? Because if you are, they aren’t doing anything wrong and a lot of the people who gamble with gold in WoW are ex gambling addicts who get their thrills without losing all their paycheck. Gambling in WoW, with gold, is also fun sometimes. Won a few rounds myself and one of them got me a profit 200k.

Filter isnt a license to swear. You know better than this. Or you should.

You are not permitted to advertise. In /say. in /yell, in Trade, in any public channel.
Anywhere.
If someone else can see it then it isnt permitted
Full stop.
"While players may opt to privately run or participate in an in-game casino, advertising for this particular practice is not permitted in-game or on our forums in any form. Casino advertisements can degrade the quality of the environment we want to provide for our players and thus are not appropriate for the World of Warcraft. Blizz considers /y /s to be public.
http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=27048".

No, I’m afraid that would be advertising, Xylems. As the others mentioned our policies aren’t against casinos or other games of chance, raffles, etc… it is specifically against the advertising of them.
Keep in mind that many years ago, due to a lot of scamming and complaints about the practices, we did prohibit all casino activity. After a bit of a moratorium on them, our Developers decided that overall these kinds of activities could be community building, specifically amongst guilds and other groups. So, we relaxed our stance somewhat to allow them… with certain conditions.
As a compromise and to avoid a lot of the negative aspects of these casinos, specifically the spam they generate as well as possible scams, the policy was adjusted to prohibit the advertisement of them both in public chat (including whispers) and on our forums. Sorry.

Dont be utterly ridicuious. I will be clear on this. Use of foul language in any public channel is not permitted and is reporteable.
If you cant or wont grasp this simple rule then there is no reason to discuss with you any further.
The filter is not carte blanche to use obscene language.
The end.

I don’t see “swearing” as a bad thing. Its a word and just like every other word in the dictionary has a definition. "Curse words’, usually are just more elaborate ways of saying another word. Like there is many words to be used in place of fecal matter. This is also a country were freedom of speech is legal. Companies may have the right to filtering these words in video games but to report someone for using these words, especially when there is a filter, I feel is not moral. Freedom of speech is a right people have died for. It is a luxury in the United States we may lose one day because people choose to be offended by words in a time there is nothing to be offended about.
Reporting these people I hope you know is not helping them with their addiction. Id rather gamble my gold with them then for them to go out and lose their paycheck to a real casino.

Blizzard does. Their rules. Deal with it.

Even more ridiculous. The 1st amendment refers to the government, not to a private entity. Im an Aussie and even I know that.

Your morals dont enter into it. You agreed to those rules when you installed the game.

Advertising gambling is not permitted as shown above. Reporting it is not only necessary, but expected.
Break the rules, meet the consequences.
Not wasting any more time on you.

You seem very angry.
Relax.
Yes, it is their rules and I am fine with them but I think it is very unnecessary to report someone for “cursing”.
Refers to the government? No, I’m sorry but you can leave your house in the United States and yell whatever you want. You may just be looked at as a bad person if you say bad things. If something you said was really bad, your company may just fire you because they don’t want you representing them with racist, sexist, or homophobic beliefs.
Obviously. They own your account but they don’t make you report people. You pick to report people for silly things.
Yeah, not permitted but you report these people. Why? They aren’t hurting anyone. I didn’t break the rules because I didn’t advertise it.
Relax. Its a conversation. You seem to get very angry very quickly which is perhaps why you report people so often.

I have little patience for people who dont listen.

It isnt permitted.
Refers to the government? No,
Yes.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Civics 101.
Oh you mean you don’t have patience for people who don’t agree with you. Got it. Nice attitude.
Advertisement of gambling is not allowed but gambling is. You not read the blue post? "So, we relaxed our stance somewhat to allow them… with certain conditions. " - Blizzard
Do your homework next time.
Unless you are saying that you report people gambling with gold because it isn’t permitted just because. Then that makes you like the people who call the police on 10 year old girls outside of a store because technically it isn’t allowed. Grow up.
Not just the government but the people as well. If I go outside and someone calls me some curse word, nothing happens. They aren’t getting arrested for saying a word.
Again you are acting like I don’t know this. What is your deal? just relax and have a conversation. Just because someone doesn’t agree with what you are saying doesn’t mean you have to become a keyboard warrior and talk smack.

I wouldnt be so sure.
If you are charged with disorderly conduct you are looking at a class C misdemeanor that carries with it up to 30 days in jail and up to a $500 fine. In general, most people that get a conviction for disorderly conduct either end up with a fine or a fine and probation.
You don’t get charged with disorderly conduct for calling someone a curse word…

You can be.
Anyway Im done for the night, time to sleep.
You can be but it wont be because you cursed at someone, it will be because you were yelling, throwing things, drunk, being aggressive or if the cop is prejudice and you are not his ethnicity but that is a corrupt cop and he’s not acting to enforce the law but to just mistreat people he doesn’t like.
Goodnight. Hopefully next time we discuss something we can get along.

No but there are places where there are actual cursing laws.
But was later reversed:
So it depends on the governing body’s policy on the books. Subject to change ofc. We agree to that with blizz when we click accept.
Not disagreeing that we all accept their policy however, as the player, you decide whether or not you want to be offended. I don’t find “cursing” to be offensive in anyway unless we are talking about words used in discriminatory ways such as insulting race, gender, and sexuality. I don’t think people should be offended as they are when they hear non discriminatory words. It is only a word and if treated as such, loses its ability to offend. Like I said before, people choose to be offended especially in this day and age when they have no reason to be offended. Most who get offended are just looking to claim victim.
Cursing, I don’t feel is a valid reason to right click report especially since they have a filter to mask any "curse words’ used.
I have swore at people many times and used “curse words” in friendly conversation while in public and even in front of police officers. I am yet to be charged with disorderly conduct.
