If auto-silence is in classic i wont be buying it

Not the least bit surprised. Sounds like you don’t play well with others. If it wasn’t for all the “idiocy” going around, I think you would actually be more miserable.

There are a ton of things you can do to resolve any issues. Dont post political stuff in chat. If some one is arguing in chat dont join in. If you want to trade something Put it in trade chat. Dont post stuff in chat thats not relative to the game. Dont make chuck norris jokes in chat. Generally, if you use chat for what its meant for its really unlikely a large group of people are going to right click and report you. This is some really common sense stuff, but if you do stuff that could be construed as drama, stuffs going to happen to you.
No research needed. Dont do stupid stuff and life will be good to you.

Ah , yes. Welcoming a tool that will allow players to make a meaningful impact on the typical stream of edgemaster crap that fills up public channels clearly equates to my not “playing well with others”. So much insight into my soul.

Even Chuck Norris is off the table now?

General chat? Have at it. Clogging up trade with non trade stuff? Hard nope.

Yup. Been saying that since this crusade started.
This thread is nothing but one big collusion of half truths and over exaggerations.
I’m telling them to research how it works. You can tell from the complaints many do not.
I’ve supplied a link a few posts up to calm some of the fears but alas. It’s glossed over and even had an attempt at misrepresenting my intentions. Tsk tsk.
Trust the community. Lol

I don’t need to look into your soul to know that if it quacks like duck, walks like a duck, it must be exactly that.
:smile:

i am sorry but i disagree, nothing i have said is an attack on a person, it isn’t me inciting violence or doing anything stupid like that.

not a single thing there is reportable.

just because you don’t like political talk in game (and for the record, i agree, politics, religion, etc is crap and i don’t like to see it), doesn’t mean it should be reported. you can ignore that all you want, but the person in question hasn’t done anything wrong.

So, It doesnt really matter. Neither of the statements belong in game at all.

Mat, you don’t get it. There is no need for it to be “inciting violence” or an attack on a person. Blizard has made it clear that politics is a no-no, and as I mentioned earlier I got that straight from blizzard themselves. They view it as inciting and disruptive, and it very much is.

From my suspension inquiry response:

We generally consider any discussion of politicians to be trolling as they are both off-topic and very likely to lead to contentious and highly negative discussion. Please note that Blizzard Entertainment reserves the right to suspend access at any time for reasons that include, but are not necessarily limited to, repeated failure to abide by the Community Code of Conduct.

We regret to implement such severe action, but at times it is necessary to maintain a positive environment. We ask that you familiarize yourself with the code of conduct to avoid prevent future violations.

Take a good long look at that first sentence and let it sink in.

based on your subjective personal opinion. and that is the problem with the right click to report system.

it is completely dependent on the persons personal opinion, which should not be the case.

source on politics are a no no? like a legit source. not “Blizzard told me”.

and my opinion goes beyond politics. i could say things not politically inclined that would get me reported too based on subjective opinion alone.

Again with the dishonesty.

Here is that first restriction again:

“Talk in Instance Chat (Raid, Party, and Battlegrounds)”

Notice that doesn’t say LFD, LFR, LFG. It does, though, specifically say RAID (/r) and PARTY (/p). Yet, Padre dishonestly claims that silenced players can still use /p and /r.

Yes, trolling for a reaction is very much against the CoC, and if Blizzard actions you for it, then that confirms it.

Why is the Classic community going to make this a massive problem when Lives does not? Not saying it would never happen, but on the scale that is being claimed.

How about this, remove the squelch, does that solve any issues? I think Fesz was for that, if I am wrong, please correct me.

Based on the fact that neither democrats or republicans are part of wow lore, or trade. Thats not subjective. Republican and Democrats are party affiliations in real world. Does not belong in game. I am not really sure you understand what subjective means.

No but notice it says instance. Notice the groups in the right hand column are formed the old fashioned way.
Sit down or get back on your wheel.

not related to you I copied this from https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/44277
