If the conversation happens, naturally, I don’t find it to be “in your face”. What’s “in my face” would be somebody like the OP. Then, there’s people who just like to “one up” you which is super annoying :roll_eyes:

Yeah, which is his goal in the end I’m pretty sure. Sadly Talonel succeeds in trolling more often than not, to the detriment of the LGBT+

Yes very easy to do exactly this. The current options are too limited and aren’t very specific. It’s best Blizzard be as specific as possible so reports can be made easier.

Yes, soon it will be “no laughing, no talking” because words and sounds might trigger someone’s undefined “PTSD”.

You’re being over dramatic. Of course no laughing or talking if it involves harassing or being toxic towards anyone. Don’t you want to create a more friendly environment for everyone to participate in?

He wants a special one for reasons I guess.

I was kind of joking, but more rules means more potential for abuse by disingenuous trolls. Also, everyone has a different definition for what is considered “offensive” or “harassment”. Combining these two things with overzealous algorithms results in people being banned for simply being an inconvenience.

Just to clarify: these systems can be used to harass and troll you just as easy as they can be used against the people you find offensive.

Are you prepared to be on the receiving end of that kind of trolling?

Im very much used to it participating on this forum.

You’re used to being banned for being inappropriate or harassing people? Advocating for more rules just gives people more options for trolling the rest of us.

Not what I said. I’m used to trolls responding to my feedback threads and being the problem. I have nothing to worry about personally as I’m doing nothing wrong. The trolls should be very worried especially with this new social contract.

Ok. That’s the point that I’m getting at. People can misuse and abuse these systems to get other people banned for nothing by simply mass reporting them. Look at what people did in New World.

You might not think you’re doing anything offensive, but you can still be banned because these systems are usually managed by computers, not people.

why do people want to ban trolling so bad. it’s just trolling. not my problem you fed the trolls and feel stupid about it.
people get their little egos so bruised by getting messed with on the internet. you can’t even say ugly on Instagram even if the context isn’t “harassing” and is sarcasm. is this really what people want?

Oh big time, especially with the likes of OP here to a point where it’s actually a bad idea to have this as an option. Let alone an option to report hetrophobia even.

With that said, i’m not against the idea of having bigotry in the menu via right click. I just think it will be abused heavily thanks to Blizzard’s vague rules. I’m sorry, but simply saying “just don’t be a jerk, don’t be a bigot” doesn’t really work when you got so many people with varying different ideas of what bigotry or hatred even is that they will even go after you for saying something nice that not only sounds nice but is nice. They should really make the rules a bit more concrete on what’s not allowed to do, like mislabeling people for instance, because that causes actual harm to the actual victims who are actually being bigoted against.

Oh that’s not even the worst part about overusing those labels, it takes the actual homophobia/transphobia away just to focus on somebody who are just most likely are sick of OP’s (and Talonel) agitating and inciting hatred against people they dislike as well the people they claim to be allied with, which in turn brings in more homophobia or transphobia, whether it be toxic positivity/concern trolling like OP is doing, or just downright bullying people.

Agreed. Even Talonel himself agree–

…So what you’re saying is… The Talonel we knew… is an evil twin?! :scream:

…Actually that makes sense.

Factually, if we ALL behave ourselves like ADULTS there would be no reason to have to protect anyone.
And thats the problem. Too many players prefer to behave like petulant children and cause chaos, even when theyre supposed to be working with the team/group.

Seems to be random.
Ive reported the other side for killing quest NPCs and BOOM…they were just gone, lol.
other times Ive reported chat abuse and yeah…never saw anything really done…same character in there for days saying the same thing
Either wasnt a technical violation…or someone just didnt have time to do anything about it.

I am very confused on what you just posted. Seems like a bunch of spam that does not belong on the forums. Please be more clear without the use of low quality meme videos.
