You can’t disrupt in classic, there are message limits. It wasn’t disrupted in classic.
It ain’t broke, don’t fix it. There’s another guy who wants Canoga so they can “fix” economy. Another lfd, another RCR. Those are anti classic changes.

Wh-what? That’s what the right-click report and auto-squelch IS. The report system allows the community to self-regulate to a degree.
Would you rather have
Hire GMs to police the channels?
Do you want classic or bfa capped at lvl 60? Sounds like you want latter.

This from a guy who calls those who disagree with him bfa babies. You are actually saying that channels in vanilla were not disrupted. Yikes.

Nah, I prefer that blizzard sees the type of player who is raging against rcr.
Still thinking your opinion trumps Blizzard’s?
Sure, Johnny can collude to squelch anyone that has the audacity to commit his pet peeve and use /trade for something other than the buying or selling of goods and impose his own brand of vigilante justice.
The final decusion as to whether or not the squelched player actually committed a violation.
is up to Blizzard.
Hopefully, they will drop the hammer and severely punish each and every player that submitted a report that contributed to a squelch if that squelch is subsequently overturned upon manual review.
Not at all. I see it as a partnership. Blizzard acknowledges and did not condemn, that players may see non-trade spam in a channel like trade as spam, may report it as such, and may be punished as such. Blizzard and I are simpatico.
There is plenty that Blizzard and I are quite far apart on. This is not one of them.
PS: Using words like “collude” and “pet peeve” are not making your argument any more sound. hth
Pretty much everyone on this board has an opinion on something to do with Classic that is in opposition to Blizzard’s own opinion, including you.
You still want that NA link that proves the squelch was implemented in May of 2007? I’m sure you’ll find something wrong with the evidence that will lead you to continue denying the facts but I’ll post it anyways; I’ve held onto this for long enough:
I saw those links that you finally posted in another thread.
If I did not post thanking you for providing them, I apologize. I was busy and unable to post when I first saw them, but I meant to go back and do so.

Are you willing to accept being punished if Blizzard determines that the player whom you colluded to squelch committed no actual violation and overturns the squelch?
“colluded”

Spam is a violation. Blizzard was quite clear that players may decide what is spam. Blizzard has made it clear that it may be reported as spam. Blizzard has decided that the spammer may receive punishment for spamming as a result.
Good luck finding a GM who would overturn a squelch of a player posting about Chuck Norris or Trump in /trade, much less punish those who reported the player crapping up the channel with it.
If that’s the conclusion that was reached, then I’d say it was in all likelihood well-deserved.
I stand behind you on removing auto squelch. That feature has no place in Classic or any game for that matter.
But what exactly is the problem with being able to RCR? How is it any different than opening up a ticket and naming the problem child by name? If anything it makes it easier for blizzard to see who the problem child is and why.
So i’m half with you!

There is no auto silence.
Really?
I’ve never experienced it personally. But I’ve had friends who told they have been silenced.
If that’s the truth of the matter though. Then i’ll take back my statement. Are there any sources I can read on the matter?
There’s a difference between squelch and silence. Squelch is automatic, based on number of reports, and is a much lesser punishment. Silence is GM imposed for confirmed bad behavior.

Yes really. The SQUELCH is automated when reports make a threshold, all it does is shut down your chat channels temporarily til a GM reviews it. A SILENCE is the punishment a GM meets out when someone is found in violation. Being squelched doesn’t double for each infraction, silences do.
Ok so i need to change my post to say auto squelch and not auto silence. Point still stands this feature should not be in Classic.
It has been in game since TBC. Does that trouble you?
