Actually spamming the channel is a violation. It’s just not a violation to talk about other things in trade as an example. However, pretty sure if the other things are drowning out LFG or Trade in their respective channels actions are taken if reported.
Back in the day my server allowed barrens chat to be the hogwash channel. Excessive stupidity elsewhere got the server coming down on your head.
So, I have to permanently not have the trade chat channel because you have to act like a man-child?

Nice. I was not aware of any addons that where made to abuse the system, but know how people are I would not doubt someone made one and passed it around.
EDIT
Ahh… I have not played live since the RCR went in and I can see where that could be an issue. I love badboy too . . Perhaps he should have left it at ignore and not go to report.
Thanks Blue
The spam will go away as soon as you have received your deserved silence. Then you will switch gears and run to the forum to cry.
You have no issue removing the ability of others to communicate effectively in specialized channels because your need to spam nonsense, enjoy your removal from said channels entirely during your earned silence and possible long term vacation via a GM action…
You will, because you will be silenced via RCR.
Nope I was merely correcting a false statement by you.
If you have a problem with GMs not reviewing things thouroughly, that’s not a problem with RCR it’s a problem with blizzards staff. And I’m not trying to defend them at all, GM’s should do their jobs,and but GMs not reviewing reports isn’t unique to rcr.
I’ve never seen credible evidence in general discussion or CS forums of someone getting banned for nothing. There’s at least a dozen threads on this and thousands and thousands of posts, and while I’m not saying the evidence doesn’t exist, I am saying I have looked and I haven’t seen it:
Asmon got a temp ban for trying to abuse the system by having hundreds of people report him for saying I love wow
Savix said he got rcr targeted in a battleground but it came out eventually it was a ban for win trading
There’s a video of three guys in voice chat trying to get disconnected for swearing, one of them drops an f-bomb in guild chat and disconnects two seconds later, it’s unclear who, if anyone, reports him or why he disconnects
There’s a video of a start of a PvP match where a single person reports a priest on the other team and then that priest disconnects. It’s not in english so I don’t know any more than that, but blizzard has specifically said it takes more than one report to trigger anything.
These are the most common 4 examples I see for abuse, and none of them are convincing. If you have other evidence please share.
Until I’m convinced that the system actually can be easily abused, i don’t mind being able to easily report people who think they cleverly hid a slur in their name.

Just common sense really. Something ALWAYS in short supply.
And for the life of Brian… DONT use Twitter as your gauge. . Oh man!!!
I hope that is permanently removed, I have faith in blizzard.
They probably got few thousand frivolous reports and said… waste of time.

In game public chat channels are not there for your personal amusement. Or for you to entertain other players with jokes or rude comments.
How Blizzard goes about reviewing those reports should be up for debate but the reporting system is a must have.

How did the world not collapse without reporting systems?
2019 years and we still going. Just want to point out it’s not wanted. Oh and reported you for trolling just because I can.
I have not seen a screenshot yet. I had just learned about it right before posting and included the No official word yet on the title.
I am to old to understand the number of people that watch Twitch. I only watch a choice few occasionally for information.
That and I know/have spoken to defcamp on community-related things around their site and can say hes not one of the over the top hype dudes.
On that note. oh boy. I used to listen to Esfand for news and insight. . .but did he join Method? And is in the same house with Sodapoppin? arg… That is disappointing to me.
The game launched with a reporting system. Right click reporting just makes it easier to do.

Isn’t it great? All you had to do was click a button to report for trolling. So much easier then having to right out a report just to report some one.

Got a link for that big boy? You have used it twice now. . Just want to check your math
Arnt we talking about RCR in the terms of the auto squelch?
I am suddenly confused
Auto-squelch has been in since TBC as well.
Wait. Curt, isnt it called 911? Police boxes?
Man I miss the Doctor!!!
Ok. then WTH has the stink been over on live like a few months back?
And why are people so up in arms about it in classic? Just the #nochangers?
I honestly have thought the grudge was about the abuse of a new RCR feature.
You have provided a link for the EU, but you have not yet provided anything to substantiate your claim that the auto squelch was in effect on the NA servers at that time.

Honest question, what do expect to happen from that? The answer for what will happen is most likely nothing, nothing at all.
And you haven’t provided me with any logical reason as to why Blizzard would have different features to complicate their CS operations between regions.
I have the NA link, I’m not providing it because any person who is looking at my evidence with logic, rather than confirmation bias, doesn’t need an NA link.
