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

It’s almost like you’re overblowing a non-issue!

Huh? what does that have to do with what i said?

Oh come on, trolling is easily confused. I could say the same about you, but I give you the benefit of the doubt.

Why should offenders get to sit and continue doing what they are doing waiting for judgement to be made?

Oh man I am really curious how he is going to react to this slam dunk.

I think it would have been better for him just to leave the convo at that now it’s getting embarrassing.

Is silence not preemptive to GM review?

By the time Blizzard takes action the innocent party has already suffered punitive action. And that, of course, assumes that Blizzard actually decides the abuser wasn’t actually acting in good faith and just didn’t understand the rules.

History has shown Blizzard is less than prompt in stopping abuse of the rules except in cases where actual game integrity is in question (abusing exploits to beat raid bosses). How long do you see the same gold seller spamming away before they finally get caught up in a ban wave (assuming you don’t ignore them)?

If you don’t file a ticket about it they don’t review it.

No man, I was totally talking about the forums. Like your buddy you are carrying water for.

But it is a form of punishment, right?

Not carrying water for anyone here friend. He is just walking circles around you and I think it’s funny, that’s all.

gotta love the new forums,lol, no the squelch is what is automated, the sllence is the penalty that happens if they determine you broke the CoC.

yup definitely the flaw in the system for sure.

The silence? Yeah. I guess I am confused about what exactly you were asking…

Okay, I just want to make sure I’m understanding this correctly, because I’ve seen different answers. Thank you.

Well I’m curious what you were talking about then lol. I thought you were asking if GMs reviewed it when people got auto-squelched.

I don’t see how loss of ingame functionality could be viewed as anything but a punishment.

Because it’s better to delay punishing the guilty than wrongly punish the innocent? Speaking from a moral perspective of course…

Correct. Restrictions are in place prior to a GM review. Once they determine what the heck is going on, further restrictions are enforced or escalated?

I agree, I was just clarifying something for myself.
