We’ve seen players intentionally interfere in World First races… it wouldn’t be a question of what they would do… it would be a question of how much damage would they do before their actions are reversed. People have no fear of ramifications for their actions (see GD regular forum troll posters)…
People make videos showing their speedrun to ban for popular Twitch streamers (or controversial ones). This… volunteer… nonsense is just a bad idea.
1 dollar per line of chat.
Ok… can we get in-game proximity voice chat then?
Oh man that would be scarier than Phasmophobia!
I’ve given my price. Gimme a token! Lol
That could be a really fun idea.
Nah, I have friends, guildies, and communities keeping my chat busy with great conversation. Left all the other channels forever ago and it’s great.
Yeah real fun til you get to close to Moon Guard-Lion’s Pride Inn…
We have a chat troll who gets muted quite often. They communicate by logging on an alt and writing a letter to his main, then trading you the letter.
That… is clever. I like that… that takes some thought. 2 out 10 stars.
Bliz is so behind with adding new content, you want them to divert resources to…this???
Hey… if the people want to sacrifice a tier of content for this… let’s do it! lol
They traded me a letter saying I owed them gold for slander or something. It was really well written and had me cracking up. It was only like 1000 gold, so I paid up.
Then they be a terrible troll… you never post on your main… never.
I would have written a long reply about how I charge for services rendered and he should be glad he got it for free. And then apologize at the end because I misread Slander for Slather… and feign embarrassment.
AFAIK chat bans are account wide. I may be wrong, but I want to say it’s your entire account so you can’t dip to an alt to continue.
Trade chat is really a thing of the past, no one posts any trade, we use discord to communicate with players we play with. No need to listen to the amount of trolling and senseless conversations in trade chat. We just leave channel.
idk cute fox. i have a couple throw away accounts. ya’ll need some lessons. lawd.
It’s all boosting and guild invites. Although I’ve found around 3am EST when I should be sleeping, actual conversation happening. I’ve met some nice people in the early AM and I just ask why they can’t be on during the day.
Just close chat down if it bothers you.
The tricky part is, where should Blizzard draw the line on what is/isn’t allowed in their chat channels? Or if there is a player-moderation system, what rubric will they use to judge whether a chat is acceptable or not?
I’m sorry that you’re feeling bombarded with spam and trolls in those channels, OP. But it boils down to a question of subjectivity-- how should we determine who gets to speak, or what they can say?
I’m not saying that Blizz should go 100% freedom of speech, and understand that the restrictions they do have are there with a purpose. But we can’t have them silence players because other players don’t like what’s being said.
Like you said, it would be nice if they had another channel to use so it doesn’t flood the LFG one. I always liked the idea of a WorldChat channel, myself.
