RCR Abuse now coming to light

Best advice if you are gonna forum PvP. Sometimes I need to follow it too.

You forgot to use the word “caustic” in a sentence.

If you’re in a zone and you see /1 spammed with addon output, and you’re one of the people with that addon installed, you would be well advised to disable it (at least temporarily).
Even if players on closed community servers don’t RCR you, quite a few are going to ignore you, because you’ll be considered an “idiot child” by “not an idiot” adults, because you choose to keep contributing to /1 spam bombs.

Blizzard also allowed game files directly on the PC and people deleted a few to fall through a floor to kill a boss, and later fixed it. Because they found a problem they hadn’t expected through player interaction with the game files.

However, spam is even more of an issue if it’s an AUTOMATED spam.

Ever get those robo calls? Did you consider the first one “spam” that you didn’t want to listen to, or the 100th, even though they came from different numbers, different messages, exc.

Fact of the matter, automated messages going out to people with information they don’t want (or isn’t even true) IS SPAM.

If you check a mailbox regularly you get spam there as well, business advertising, banks trying to get you to sign up for a credit card, exc. Spam is spam. Either it’s done by a person or an automated system like the one the add-on uses and thus the report and punishment for the RCR was justified.

Oooh he said mean things to me, I feel so hurt***

I gave him a chance to see logic, if he can’t understand what spam is, he might want to go back to elementary school.

You don’t know what real spam is child. :sunglasses:

Spam an unhealthy substitute for a cheaper costing product.

Food or advertising, it’s the same thing.

I love SPAM. I like it on pizza with Pineapple. Quick and easy go to meal.

spam is good, and what do you have against Ice Cream? I love the oreo ice sandwiches myself

Spam on pizza is an abomination against nature. :pleading_face:

But it’s a tasty abomination.

Ever have Neutella pizza?

Now you’re just grossing me out on purpose. :nauseated_face:

No sense of culinary adventure?

Go look it up.

So have we said spam enough in this thread for it to be considered spam?

Should we start reporting each other or are we ok because we aren’t using an automated system to display messages about spam?

Meh. I generally don’t do anything unless they get REAL nasty. BRB, gonna dice up some SPAM. All this talk of it, is making me hungry. Gonna try a Korean recipe my neighbor gave me using ramen. It’s called Budae Jjigae (Army Stew).

its always the same people in threads like these on either side.

what can be said that hasnt already been said?

people want to “show us their peaceful ways… by force” and people fight against it.

whatever.

I have never reported anyone on the forums. It’s all just a mini PvP sidegame. If words on a forum from a random internet stranger have an actual effect on you then you have much bigger problems IRL. :sunglasses:

My post up above there was actually towards you. :O(

I’ve reported a few posts, but they were directly related to sevear hate speech or RL death threats.

And I’ve reported a few people for spam if they intentionally made repeat threads for threads they were actively chatting in. Because they usually made the repeat thread to try and make their opinion seem like the Lord’s will for the people instead of posting in the existing thread where they already lost the discussion through logic and facts., I think I’ve reported at most 10 people on the forums and I’ve been on the wow forums since TBC (didn’t even know there were forums in vanilla, lol)

It’s weird because I have no doubt it happens, especially when I see how emotional people actually get. But in 15 years I don’t recall ever seeing an actual real life threat. I’ve seen some hate speech but I always assumed it was someone who wanted a perma ban because they couldn’t stop themselves from spending too much time on the forums or something. :laughing:
