You may be coming from a place of genuine concern. I am having false accusations levied against me. If I respond to any one of those, and any person in here is employing narcissistic abuse tactics, anything I say will be used to levy further false accusations, jump to more conclusions, and be MORE abusive claiming that new information justifies the emotional abuse.
The only way for me to have a meaningful conversation on the forums in the presence of this behavior is not to engage with the false accusations.
If this makes you unhappy, I respect that. If I attempt to make you happy, it will cause me harm. Respectfully, it’s not worth the harm.
No, there is a non-zero chance you are an emotionally abusive individual. This isn’t an accusation. I have run into emotionally abusive individuals on the forums in the past. This is the only way to respectfully defend myself, maintain a healthy boundary and decline to answer false accusations.
Like all media and video games, WoW content is rated by the ESRB which includes chat and player content. The ESRB rating for WoW is “T” for Teen. This rating requires Blizzard to have a certain set of rules that players must abide by to protect MINORS that play this game. One of those rules is NO profanity. This includes masked and abbreviated profanity. The profanity filter is in game for those that choose to use it and for parents to control what their children see because there are adults that continue to ignore the rules that they agreed to.
If you don’t want to abide by the rules, then you need to find a game with an adult rating.
I was asking for proof. Others have too. You have ignored all of it. If you are innocent, posting in CS would likely absolve you. The only reason you haven’t is because you are clearly worried about what might be found. That has nothing to do with boundaries. It has everything to do with guilt or shame.
If you would provide a SHRED of anything to show your side in this you would have more support than you are getting.
If you posted your concerns in CS you would have a shred of support for at least advocating for yourself in an area designed for such.
You have not at all shown us WHY we should support you, just that “people were mean and I defended myself” which tells us nothing. You have beaten around the bush on what your end of this is without at all giving anything to support yourself as innocent and put upon here.
Yeah, that’s why I’m so frustrated about how the game is moderated. T for Teen includes allowance for infrequent use of strong language, defined as, “Profanity and explicit references to sexuality, violence, alcohol, or drug use.”
The social contract is stricter than the ESRB rating.
I am asking for what YOU said to THEM. You have already vaguely alluded to what THEY said but have presented nothing of what you said in defense. You are either a liar, a coward, or both.
downgrading your troll score to 0/10.
You have BLATANT avenues for reporting, it has never been easier to do.
Others here and myself have told you how and where.
Do better.
The language filter is an extra layer of protection. You agreed to not use certain words when you created your account and repeatedly throughout the years whenever the EULA and TOS were changed. This victim blaming garbage was tiresome 20 years ago and it’s still tiresome now.
ALL your points that you make point towards you wanting to just scream obscenities at other players without repercussion, but get upset when others do the same back to you. You are 100% not an innocent victim here.
Speaking up for myself is against the rules, so I don’t.
It feels bad to be put in this situation and being accused of things I didn’t do is unfair. Now, I’m being emotionally abused on the forums too. It doesn’t feel very good. If you don’t have anything kind to say, please leave me alone.
