False reporting and automated ban

[Padrepwn-kiljaeden (Padrepwn)]

I reported more than a few people for “chat that would make a prostitute blush”. When I reported someone I added them to my friends list. I do not recall a single time when someone I reported did not disappear from that friends list.

This is diabolically brilliant. “For that I have to know I got you in trouble hall monitor” Lol

So now let me get this straight. You are saying back in Vanilla you reported people. Then added them to your friends list so you could watch like a hawk as they went off line and you’re thinking is that was them being banned because blizz acted in a timely manner to your report?

Spamming the same message every two minutes is breaking the rules.

LFM BRD, need good DPS.

Damnit, auto squelched because some kid got mad that I was competing for the same slots in chat.

That’s a really garbage system that can generate that result.

Worse, we actually have video proof of how easy it is to do now.

Well it’s a good thing one person can’t squelch now isn’t it?

Is that why auto squelches are overturned?

If Blizzard truly felt that players do a better moderation job than they do, why overturn a player driven moderation?

Are you going to admit that players report things that should not be reported?

Some people have seen too many superhero movies. They think they’re some kind of masked avenger doing justice.

LoL, but aren’t the people so worried that everyone should accept what they say in public chat no better than say david koresh or james jones?

It should be up to Blizzard (NOT the reporting players) to mete out any appropriate punishment to those players once they are reported.

So , back to the point, do you or do you not want chat enforced?

I support chat rules being enforced. I want the players to report what they feel are violations of the TOS.

I simply want Blizzard to be administering punishment when “enforcing chat”, NOT the players.

Okay, and if blizzard fails to enforce it what should happen?

Use your ignore feature. That should happen.

I never said I watched them like a hawk. I was not watching to see them go offline.

I rarely even remembered the names I reported, just the total number of people on my friends list.

I would add their names to my friends list, then go about my business. I know that reports were not answered immediately. Sometimes I would be online when those tickets were answered and I would have a chat with the GM. Other times I would get an in game mail.

I cannot remember a single time when a ticket was closed and the total number of names on my friends list decreasing by one. Since I recognized every remaining name on that friends list as an actual friend, it is logical that the missing name was the person whom I reported.

Since this was during the time that Blizzard took strong action and I generally only reported what I considered to be egregious violations, I’m guessing that those names disappeared because they were actually banned and not just suspended.

Right click report does that squelch encourages the offender not to do that again. It’s kind of like applying ant spray that not only kills the immediate ants but makes them not come back again.

You asked what to do if blizzard did not enforce it. I told you.

IMO, nothing.

For whatever reason, Blizzard chose to take no action. That should be the end of it.

IMO,it should not be up to players to take any action other than reporting offenders.

If you feel that the person you reported today is still violating the TOS tomorrow, then report him again.

We know the state of chat pre right click, we know the state of chat since, how many people have you seen spamming anal abilities since?

Depends on the the server you’re on Ziryus, not every server is populated by the super sensitive. Some servers are actually populated by people with a backbone.

If something offends you the option to simply ignore it exist.

If you think it’s truly offensive then send a GM a report about the evil things in chat and be done with it.

The old system works fine, the new one doesn’t fit the old game.

So far most everything you promote is some kind of change to the original game.

We’re not here to play a new game; instead we’re here to play an old one.

You can take your changes back to BFA where they will welcome you.

Or maybe not trolling chat will be one of those changes people just have to accept in classic.

Well for the people who are so concerned about being able to troll chat this.

Its only trolling if you see it. Use your ignore feature. Don’t worry about others, they can handle themselves. They can ignore as well.

Speaking only for myself, I support your right to report players you feel are violating the TOS.

I do not support you being given the power to collude with others to punish those players, though.

[Padrepwn-kiljaeden (Padrepwn)]

Lol. You mean it’s only trolling if it’s reported and blizz sees it.

Ignore it reactive. At which point something has already been seen.

Point out on the doll where those words hurt you please.

Mouth the words you said that got you a squelch?

[Scharzula-earthen-ring]

I have no idea what that means.

[Fesz-cenarius]

Lol. You mean it’s only trolling if it’s reported and blizz sees it.

“It’s only illegal if you get caught”?

For the record, I believe trolling is trolling, even if no one sees (or acknowledges) it.
