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

No, that is done by the freedom of speech hating, lynch mob authoritarians.

PS careful, using the word pop rather than soda makes it easier to determine your location on the globe and find you for reeducation.

Inferring tone then extrapolating meaning based on that tone to the point of inaccuracy followed by a reactionary post because of the obvious shortcomings of communication via text.

This is a perfect example of how easily this tool can be misused by someone that wants to dress up and play “Chat Police”

Right. Right. Just like dressing up “I want to say what I want to say in chat without fear of repercussions and everyone else should just grow thicker skin” to “this will destroy classic wow grouping.”
Without even knowing what the squelch affected in the first place. Uh huh.

Chat police. Lol.
Well at least you went back to what it’s really about: saying what you want to.

The new system can be abused, sure, but the old system was abused CONSTANTLY. Folks refused to behave reasonably decently and here we are.

Who needs freedom of speech when you can just silence anyone who says something you don’t like. Now that’s progress!

Sigh, keep repeating that maybe someday it will mean what your interpretation of the american constitution means, that being nobody anywhere any time can stop me from saying anything i want without repercussions .

Freedom of speech doesn’t apply to online video games.

I know and you love it because you wish it didn’t apply to your country either so you’ll be the first to abuse it online.

Just wanted to hope in and share my view on the subject, not because I believe Activision Blizzard will change their decision even if 99% of people are against them, but being silence and not put my perspective on a matter which is a determinant factor if I will be playing or not.

Please do NOT automate squelch or silence features in Classic, thanks!

said it before, will say it again:

if people are capable of saying bad things and thus squelched, they are also capable of doing bad things such as squelching people for normal mmorpg activities. these things are not separate issues.

dont put auto squelch into the game. it will be abused and ruin classic.
