You can still mute them for yourself.

LOL.

2 posts, both replying to the same person get flagged and hidden within a minute of me posting them. Fallanaa, why don’t you just admit you’re a mod? I don’t know if its funny or pathetically sad that you find it necessary to silence my voice.

Probably about 30 seconds until this post gets hidden as well…counting down…

Maybe, just MAYBE it’s because of HOW you’re replying. You keep sticking personal attacks in there, and then you’re surprised that enough people are reporting it to get it hidden?

[Celessi-turalyon]

You can still mute them for yourself.

But like what’s been brought up, it only stops ME from seeing the spam. It doesn’t stop my legitimate messages like looking for a group or trying to sell something from immediately being scrolled off of everyone else’s chat.

Do you seriously think there’s a guild out there thinking “let’s silence that guy Manzo, just because?”

Yes, because it happens. That you think it doesn’t is simply disregarding mob mentality. And if you look around, yes, this sort of thing happens all the time. Just because you’ve never experienced it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

[Fallanaa-area-52 (Fallanaa)]

I’d imagine that’s it.

Attack me, post gets hidden. Attack me again, post gets hidden.

Not too hard to figure out… Don’t attack me, post doesn’t get hidden.

Funny how, to him, personal attacks aren’t something that should be reportable.

[Celessi-turalyon]

Except he never said that. He said that a benefit of RCR is that it also ignores you. He never said he’s going to just use it as an extra ignore.

It’s actually very easy: Just don’t spam.

[Manzo-argent-dawn (Manzo)]

Yes, because that’s none of my business. I’d actually be MORE uncomfortable at a job like that because that means that any talk I have with my boss everyone hears about.

That says a lot about you that you’d rather be ignorant of things that affect you and your work environment. But I guess that’s what happens when you put all your faith in those policies.

In this case, your coworker is undermining you and your work, and your reputation. You tell your boss, and your boss doesn’t tell you what happens to your coworker. Did they move your coworker to another department? Do you have to worry about this person coming after you again in retaliation? Did they get rid of this person?

Blizz is a big corporation, who has historically handled their policies professionally, but they are human, and they can make mistakes or overlook issues.

I remember reporting someone for a name violation. Never talked to the person, just reported his name. Couple days later, I get a big nasty tirade from the person with a new name. Only person who even knew I put in a report would have been a GM.

So feel free to give Blizzard the benefit of the doubt, but don’t underestimate either mob mentality or Blizzard’s very human Customer Service. I love right-click report, I don’t like Auto-squelch.

[Celessi-turalyon]

They said that it “doesn’t use up a spot on my ignore list”, clearly implying that RCR can be abused to serve as an extension of your ignore list when the ignore list is full.

Or it was in response to just claiming that people only have to ingore and that nobody should report people for spamming?

[Danimals-eonar]

This has always been the case though and is very Vanilla like. Chat channels will always be filled with noise. Did you propose a solution? How do you want to see this addressed?

Yeah, I really doubt that happened, and if it did, it was an isolated incident and that GM probably wasn’t with Blizzard much longer.

Use the existing reporting system that holds people accountable for their actions?

[Studmuffyn-veknilash (Studmuffyn)]

one poster cannot silence another poster by themselves.

No Im surprised that it gets hidden within a few seconds of me making the post. And please point out what was so offensive about my post? Pointing out that someone else abuses the RCR system is offensive?

generally calling out another poster is frowned upon,

[Manzo-argent-dawn (Manzo)]

It certainly did. It’s only a lesson that Blizz GMs themselves are not automatons. There’s even that one incident where a Blizz GM started harassing a player who was not moving after a minute in a BG. Caused a big stink on the forums back then, too. He was even less likely to still be employed.

Isolated incident or not, CSRs are human, and again, under a great deal of pressure to oversee thousands of players on a daily basis. Being under the belief that they can’t make mistakes is nothing short of folly.

This is why you see them less and less “in the wild” active on servers as they once were in Vanilla, and why they are rare today.

[Studmuffyn-veknilash (Studmuffyn)]

won’t swear to it, but I believe the forums also have ‘squelch’ feature.

[Manzo-argent-dawn (Manzo)]

I will. Usually comes up when arguing with certain types of Vanilla player who desperately want Classic to have a separate sub and separate servers, away from icky retail players.

[Celessi-turalyon]

I know they can’t. Thats why its pretty clear that poster is a mod posting on an alt. How else do both my replies to them get hidden in a matter of seconds?

Or everyone is just tired of you making personal attacks towards people?

[Thundertotem-blackwater-raiders (Thundertotem)]

Has it crossed you mind, that other people are reading the thread and flagging your posts? They are not just not vocal about it.

[Cormith-wyrmrest-accord]

Nah, he’s never responsible for anything that happens.

[Thundertotem-blackwater-raiders (Thundertotem)]

Perhaps maybe that should tell you something.
