The penalty duration is not exactly set in stone, it can jump to the more severe options if needed, but generally it starts like this right now:
1st offense a week Silence
2nd offense a week Suspension
3rd offense a 2 week Suspension
4th - pattern continues until license is closed.
The black marks on the license do not reset so if someone had a penalty years ago, that is still there. It means the GM agreed with the reports and applied a penalty - which one is not based on how severe the infraction is, just on the number of past ones confirmed on the license.
GMs can make mistakes though, so if you felt you were not violating any chat rules, you hopefully appealed. You can do that until they tell you to stop. Even if your penalty was expired, getting that black mark removed matters so it does not impact any future account actions.
This both literally and even more often figuratively happens on these forums all the time lol.
âYouâre just bad.â Is quite often full sent in those exact words around here. Why is that?
âYou canât read.â Is right up there with it. I would consider these things the equivalent of what you just said up there. Spicing up an insult with vocabulary doesnât change the intent.
I am forever impressed by the mental gymnastics people will leverage all because they canât stop themselves from being a schoolyard bully over a video game lol
Like imagine telling someone this same exact thing just after you berated a waiter or waitress at a restaurant for bringing you the wrong food and/or had your drink spilled, and you were rightfully vacated from the premise. People would look at you like youâre insane, but for some reason everyone thinks itâs okay here lmao
I mean Iâm not in any trouble at all, but I still hold to my point. Censoring your clientele is a dangerous move if your not extremely carful. You risk alienating your customer base if you go to far. Facebook would be a recent example. They are now pivoting as a company to regain users.
Nobody is being censored. Censorship is a federal form of speech control and has nothing to do with a video game company deciding that you canât call people vulgar words in public chats lmao
WoW players are hopelessly enthralled to this game no matter how trash it is. I donât think Blizzard has anything to worry about lol
Mark Zuckerberg pivoting to right-wing framing and talking points is just him being an opportunist. He doesnât actually care about you or anyone else lol
I couldnât use the service I paid for because someone else was being annoying, then went into full on pearl clutcher sjw poptart mode when I dared to say anything in my own defense.
Meanwhile you got people in /2 going on full on racist tirades, dropping hard Rs (yes you can get around the chat filter with alt codes and stuff) or full on homophobic rants, including derogatory slurs.
But I tell someone there water isnât useful. In a BG, proceed to carry and cap all 3 flags, and 2nd damage done. Wake up to a 3 or 7 day ban I dont recall how long it was, this was 2 years ago.
But thanks for the green post Uhm Achchyually response. Im sure everyone had that on their bingo card.
No, censorship is not limited to the government. It can be carried out by governments, private institutions, and individuals.
Explanation
Censorship is the act of suppressing information, speech, or public communication. It can be done for a variety of reasons, including:
To control hate speech, obscenity, and pornography
To protect children or other vulnerable groups
To promote or restrict political or religious views
To prevent slander and libel
It about setting boundaries to what you can say has zero need for it to be a Govt.
That what every company says until itâs no longer that way.
There is nothing inherently âright-wingâ about letting your crowd correct information they disagree with. More information is always better. Knowledge is power, then make your own decisions. But thatâs not even what I was talking about. He set a Censorship policy that was overly strict and it brought down his user base and ad revenue. Now he is becoming more relaxed to encourage more growth. Which was my entire point.
The LA fires are a good example of how this isnât remotely true. Lies and half truths spread like wildfire and now elected officials are threatening to withhold funds based on those.
You can tell 10 lies in the time it takes to disprove 1 of them.
Nice try, but âinformationâ is true or false in the eye of the beholder.
Social media is information overload, with most of it being complete nonsense, and regular people donât have the time to dig through it all. Many times they just accept whatever the pretty head on the screen tells them.
There is a HUGE difference between opinions and facts. Just because people donât want to hear something does not make it false.
The amount of outright lies and false information around some topics on FB is outrageous and actually harmful. Particularly medical information and information about natural disasters/public safety.
Opinion: I personally donât trust X procedure and wonât have it.
Fact: X procedure has been proven in hundreds of controlled trials to be beneficial for public health.
FB âFactâ: X procedure causes autism (very very disproven).
Letting people outright lie and mislead others is dangerous. Just like witch hunts and pitchfork mobs are dangerous. Sadly media and scientific literacy is low in the US. A large number of people donât know how to determine what legitimate trustworthy resources are. They donât know how to read a study and determine if it is valid or not. They donât know how to read through media articles and sort opinion, guesses, and conjecture from facts - or to realize that most of the rest of the story is missing.
Twitter community notes are great when they work, but should not be the gold standard for âfactsâ.
Opinion: I donât trust the FB user base to accurately community note the vast amount of nonsense on there, or to coral the organized troll/bot farms. For certain the current management does not bother. You can write a bot or pay a troll farm to provide organized responses to key words all day and they do nothing about it. Fun fun.
Social media was a mistake. Maybe the internet too. Heh. I am only partly kidding.
So you honestly believe letting people make up their own mind is a bad thing? Please donât say people are to dumb to think for themselves. That is the route every dictator takes.
