You report them in-game, place them on ignore, and let the GMs do their job while you move on with your life.

Right click their name and report.

You don’t have to do anything beyond that.
Relevant chat logs will be reviewed by gms.

Tbh you don’t even have to ignore them unless they are specifically harassing you. Their global chat should be hidden from you after reporting.

i highly doubt the GMs actually take any action because they don’t even let you know if they did

I’ve been notified that action was taken after reporting people doing things like advertising in Newcomer chat or being excessively racist/phobic in Trade plenty of times.

The number of threads in the Customer Support forum created by people complaining about being silenced, suspended, and even banned outright for profanity and offensive chat would indicate that you are flat out wrong.

alright

You report, ignore, and move on.

Feeding the flames and giving a reaction is exactly what those people want.

Just leave them hanging and frustrated.

Clearly they aren’t in a good spot if they’re spewing hate.

Happy folks don’t do that.

They should be reported. Period. Then ignored, yeah.

Not quite.

It does work to make it so you simply don’t want to see it, but (with the way blizzard works), reporting rule breakers is what gets said rule breakers actioned.

And if you end up being wrong and they didn’t violate the rules? then nothing will happen.

I mean, you could just stop talking to the person and move on with your life? There’s 8 billion people on this planet, if you’re choosing to engage with 1 of those people you find offensive, you can just simply not?

Y’know, he kinda has a point…

Though some of the stuff you see some of these folks spewing can only come from a place of deepseated insecurity.

If only… most of the time it doesnt work and simply says, “Report System Unavailable”.

Minding one’s business isn’t always the best path (ie) I will mind my own business while this guy beats this woman or this child…see where I’m going? Totally inappropriate response

Someone going on a public tirade that everyone around has to hear whether they want to or not is not “snooping”.
