How many subs did not having it lose them?
im sorry can you edit that it may be just me but i dont understand because of the grammar errors
O.o says the guy who lost his Shift key? ![:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye.png?v=6" ":stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:")
Its already been in and subs are okâish.
Are you just afraid of being reported because you do something in trade chat or something?
Ok i made some grammar errors but this is the internet and you can still understand it
About to test my forum trust level and see if I can link something: https://eu.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/5167887906
Thatâs all the way back to 2012. Search terms âworld of warcraft false report punishment.â Sorry itâs just a reference, but my search was quick and non-exhaustive. (Also, it was pretty easy to start finding links.)
I also encountered the story of xQc in Overwatch and that ban for false reporting, with âblizzard false report punishment.â

Probably 0, the entire period where RCR didnât exist the sub count was climbing.
People had thicker skin back then.

Correct, the entire 2 year period that RCR report was not in Vanilla, the sub count was climbing. The sub count climbed drastically after the implementation as well.
Not that any of this is relevant to anything.

The only âright click reportâ that existed in BC and WOTLK was for AFK in BGâs.
When it comes to practices that drive the playerbase away, everything is relevant.
-Cross realm interaction killing communities
-LFR/LFD causing less in-realm interaction
-RCR causing a âfear your neighborâ aspect to communicating
-Cata content being a huge difficulty spike compared to WOTLK
Iâm tired of hearing âjust donât say bad things!â when what constitutes âbad thingsâ vastly varies across the playerbase. I could get squelched indefinitely for saying anything about Trump, when itâs not even against the ToS.

Or maybe the two are completely unrelated or perhaps had RCR been in from launch the sub count would have been even higher.

âtrollsâ were a part of any given online experience, but there definitely werenât as many back then. You didnât have people unsubbing because they knew it was going to be like that on any platform, and usually didnât give a damn and ignored.
Have you considered that the growth in trolls might be BECAUSE of censorship? Cracking down on âtrollingâ is going to always have an inverse effect; being âcensoredâ in chat channels is the same feedback for a troll as if you replied to them. If everyone just threw that person on ignore, theyâd have no idea and theyâd eventually stop when nobody replied to them. Such simple concepts that are lost on people today that think they can police human interaction.

Fair, but that was for goldseller spam. Not for âreport anything I donât likeâ.

What do you think the current report options are for? Not for âanything I donât like.â
Itâs definitely not for goldseller spam, because itâs not profitable and Blizzard effectively killed it off with the WoW token.
As it stands, you can only report people for:
-Language
-Name
-Guild Name
-Cheating
Language is the sort of âcatch-allâ for âwhat I donât likeâ. You can see the difference between that and âspamâ right?

Theyâre not posting any evidence, though. I can say that Iâve been squelched for literally no reason on a few different accounts I have, and none of them would be true.
Seriously, weâre believing people on the internet with no proof? What year is it?
Whose alt are you? I feel like Iâve went through this exact cycle before.
Yeah, no. Not punishing people using abusive behavior is, in itself, toxic.

Hey, my mistake. My point remains that you can use âlanguageâ as a catch-all for whatever. Thatâs my original point.
