Because there isnt enough slots to block them all before you block list is full.

Yes, they quit/were fired years and years after the acts were perpetrated. Too little, too late. If they really cared, they should have done something then. If they really cared, they should have done anything and everything to prevent those acts from being performed.

doubt it… that guy got off lucky i guess. i got a week ban from classic and retail for calling someone the “r-word.”
This is fine and all, but I’ve seen some, uh… interesting definitions of “sexual harassment” the past few years.
Just sayin’.

Just like real life, depends on the person.
The TOS members determine if any harassment has occurred and then they respond accordingly. Hard to believe anyone uses the WoW Forum to sexually harass anyone!
I’m curious, you say “this keeps happening” do you mean the SAME person keeps harassing you? Or that you get harassed by multiple (likely different) people?
If it’s the latter, then unfortunately that’s unavoidable. Just keep reporting each idiot who does it and sooner or later they’ll all get silenced or banned. Or (unlikely) learn their lessons.
If it’s the first then over what sort of duration were they harassing you after you’d reported them? I get that it’s not pleasant being harassed but there is always going to be some lag time between filing a complaint, it getting reviewed and then being actioned. If it’s only a shortish period of time then block them and let the GMs do their thing (or continue to accrue evidence of their behaviour since that provides more evidence for a ban).
If it’s over a longer period of time (days/weeks) then something is definitely wrong with the system. Not sure how you’d action it but maybe it’s possible to escalate the problem? Maybe even call the phone support number rather than relying on in-game.
I do wish that there was more transparency with reporting and actions taken. At the moment it’s a black box - make a complaint and it vanishes inside and we have no idea what happens after. There absolutely should be access to the “ticket” so we can see whether it’s “Closed because it’s overreaction”, or “warned offender” or “banned offender” or “pending more information” or whatever.
Yet here you are, paying to enable them lol

So many of these man children that play this game are socially awkward. They have never been called on their creepy behavior even in guild chats I see it happen. Some think they are being one of the guys by saying inappropriate things to the one or two females in group. CALL THEM OUT people. Maybe they will learn why they can’t get a real date. Lord knows they may become real life predos.
to be honest i feel like unless someone is actually talking about you, like the IRL you, it doesnt really matter. like if i “/e slaps your butt” thats in regards to your in game character and not real - and calling something like that “sexual harassment” is just dramatic. i think trying to conflate your actual irl person with your in game character is kinda weird tbh.
now if someone said “im gonna find you and r*** you irl” then yea, permaban.
Assuming this post is in good faith… And I find it dubious at best…
It’s not up to you to witness somebody being punished. They have a system in place and they use it. just because you don’t personally see it happening doesn’t mean you should.
How do you define it though? My number one reason for ignoring people is flirtatious guys who just don’t stop. I think they’re pests, but I wouldn’t call that harassment. I know some people just don’t take cues very well. When they start getting graphic, or profane about it is where I’d say I was being harassed (Hasn’t happened so far), but others might draw the line differently.
… Is it not?
Like, yes, it should absolutely be bannable if it’s not already. What the hell?

I don’t think Blizzard has the manpower to punish the entire realm of Moon Guard.
I have been banned once on Final Fantasy 11, years ago.
I was pulling lizards to another group because they were stealing our mobs, then the most wonderful thing happened.
I was teleported to a dungeon and a knight in red glowing armor appeared to me telling me I was breaking the terms of agreement by harassing other players.
I plead my case, then asked him how much he wanted for his armor because that had to be the best looking armor I have ever seen to this date!
Then he got angry and disappeared and left me there, then a few seconds later my screen turned black.
WoW should take notes and implement a similar system, just instead of having your screen turn black, have a giant Tiamat dragon appear in the dungeon and swallow you whole!

The proof has been stated by the blues dozens of times. The only automated systems are around botting and the squelch system. These are all reviewed by GMs, humans, to be upheld or not.
There is no automated suspension/ban system. Every single report is reviewed by a human being.
It definitely should be bannable. It’s 2022. If you’re making sexual remarks to strangers you’re just a pervert. Or in public chat as well
Opinion isn’t fact, and neither is anecdotal evidence. Perhaps there was banter going on, and when you came into the middle of it. Most likely this is the case. You’d probably would like to ban many comedy classics such as: Mel Brooks’ Blazing Saddles, History of the World, Spaceballs, Animal House, or any National Lampoon movies, or even the SNL’s from the 1970’s, 1980’s, and mid 1990’s.
Meanwhile, there are certain groups that constantly push their lifestyle upon the public, and when one shows tolerance, these groups would still label one as something derogatory, simply because they’re aren’t shown acceptance. The inmates are running the asylum.
What worries me, is that the definition of what harassment is, is rather subjective.
I have seen more than my share of smoothbrains who are convinced that sexual harassment is r@pe, and simply asking for someone to smile is as well.
I’m all for clear cut examples to be punished, but there needs to be a line.

Often what some people consider banter, others will take as offensive.
Unless it’s directed towards you, I don’t think you should involve yourself.
And if it is directed towards you, just put the person on ignore.
