Give us option to report people for "non topic" politics

I’m glad you added that line.

/chat channels are not rp

wrong again. if you’re so brave, i have 5 accounts, we can log you on a rp realm and say something in trade and i’ll report you and we’ll see how that goes for ya, bud.

And, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I’ve kinda lost track myself. But being this is a rp server, the most moderated server type in the world, and would ban your head clean off, you 've got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky ?’ Well, do you , punk?

Ooooh, Nice! Thanks for the info on that. I will check it out.

I felt like if I didn’t add it, then people would assume the worst which is dumb.

Weird flex dude.
I get you’re upset about this but give it a rest.
Read the OP. It’s about Trade chat.
I play on a RP server - actually on several RP servers.
The Trade chat moderation is no different than any other server.

:speak_no_evil:

k, but its not. people often get actioned on rp realms.

Go get that confirmed in Customer Support.
Ask if Trade chat is moderated differently on a RP server.
I await the response.

Hint: it won’t work out the way you think it will

edit: actually you know what? I’ll ask as I don’t expect you will do so.
edit2: got an answer! see post 16 https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/politics-are-ruining-the-trade-chat/545249
Trade chat is NOT treated differently. You’re welcome.

This would be dumb. The only reason such chatter should be reportable is when it becomes offensive or trollish, and even then I’m somewhat on the fence about that.

Sure, it’s not great when chat channels get a bit clogged with politics, but it’s not the end of the world either.

Be careful what you ask for, IMO.

I disagree. I don’t think people should have any more options to muzzle others.

It’s bad enough as it is.

Yep. Our world is becoming more absurd every day.

For all you know they are getting muzzled. It’s not like they’re going to admit to it. Just keep reporting (if they are breaking rules). My server’s resident troll has been busted so many times that when he screws up now, he’s gone for days. He’s grown a lot more careful with his language as a result.

(If they’re not breaking rules, but just perpetually stupid and/or annoying, save yourself a lot of irritation and just put them on ignore.)

I sure as h-e-double-hockey sticks HOPE any 15 year old of mine would be interested in politics, especially now. Young people are hecking amazing, and they’re gonna be the ones dealing with the after-effects of 2020 long after we are gone.

O just make a new window and block out Trade Chat? Can’t really control what people talk about it.

You seem to be mistaken. Trade chat exists so that we can trade opinions on politics. Not so that we can trade in game items and services for in game currency.

Oh boy it’s one of those people. Yes, people’s education totally dictate their worthiness to give their opinions.

What’s up with so many people making threads about trade chat lately? People never talked about politics in game before?

Are you going to tell me to not talk about any real life stuff like I have to leave raid because my dog aggro-ed, because it’s house politic and it breaks your immersion?

The only reason that people will be talking about politics is because BLM is a big deal right now
