And hate speech is more than just a few key slurs (and variation spellings of them).
People complain about automation banning already for things that have to be over turned.
I do think they should take reporting more seriously. But I just dont think relying on automation or paying someone to do nothing but watch WoW chat all day (sheesh, just thinking about that potential job makes me want to take some sleeping meds), is a suitable alternative.
Or to at least have a watch dog program to match words and sentences. People are paid to monitor other people all the time. Called: police and security, outside of software. We respond to hate speech with reasonable punishment. It’s not that difficult.
Please stop answering me with questions.
No, not until we make a clear message that it won’t be tolerated, and we hold Blizzard accountable with the offenders.
I fail to see why you’re arguing against punishing offenders.
Why not? The government does it, same with FBI, CIA, etc. It works for them, and Blizz would do the same. So, how isn’t it suitable when you don’t think anything else is suitable, either?
You’re absolutely right. But Blizzard doesn’t monitor chat or other interactions. Players have to report what they see as infractions. So if you see hate speech, report it.
Obvious strawman is obvious. You’re just finding every little detail to make into an issue to argue.
Look, you’ve trolled here before, and I’m not having it. If you don’t have anything constructive to add aside from just nit picking and strawmanning…I’ll ignore you.
I said this. Maybe I could expand on it for you, since you are not an AI and AIs apparently have a better understanding of context.
Here. I will CC you.
I stated that they should take reporting more seriously. This caries an implication. A context…if you will. Something apparently AIs understand perfectly, just not forum posters.
The implication is that Blizzard would more actively look into reporting, and take more decisive action to limit things such as hate speech going forward through more worthwhile punishments. While it would still be reactionary, it would create a culture of “if you do X, you get punished. convincingly”.
Ignore 'em, the OP made this thread to troll and to attract trolls
Those “two” that have been responding to you are very clearly the same user just using two accounts to harass you
I dunno. It seems silly to me, dirty/mean words in the internet don’t bother me. Say what you want, but just be prepared to deal with the consequences. I probably wouldn’t report you but someone else will. Blizzard makes the rules for better or worse, generally worse, we just have to deal with them.
“I don’t understand what you said” or “I didn’t read the linked blue post specifically addressing this topic” would both be much clearer ways of expressing yourself here, Grimsie.
Welcome to 2022. If you so much as breathe and someone finds that offensive you can be punished from someone somewhere or be canceled. It is the modern day we live in.
