this was on the prior forum software . ya know the one we used just a few months ago?

Doesn’t change anything. Bans have to be instituted by a GM/Moderator.

Edit: Oh, and prior to the removal of the button on the forum software we just transitioned off of in November… posts with a certain amount of dislikes… got hidden behind a link that a reader could click on to see the topic… just like the current software.

i logged into forum. said hello. was banned for it. people from both the pro and con positions, in the thread, were saying they had also been banned, in fact, some had been banned more than once, in the same thread. i asked what was causing it and someone mentioned there’s a website that you can pay to repeatedly flag / report posts and someone was likely abusing it.

Malfosa-whisperwind · February 22, 2019, 4:33pm

And you just assumed you were important enough to interesting enough to pay actual real money to get you a 24 ban on a video game forum?

Hypêrspace-dalaran · February 22, 2019, 4:35pm

apparently everyone in the thread was. or did ya miss that part? hehe yeah you did. throwing irrelevant points to disguise the fact that people DO inappropriate things not just say inappropriate things and as a result, the auto squelch feature is going to be abused in classic. it needs to not be there.

Galdor-maelstrom · February 22, 2019, 4:40pm

This story is highly suspicious and you should provide some evidence to back up your claims.

Hypêrspace-dalaran · February 22, 2019, 4:42pm

well it happened. are you suggesting people dont do inappropriate things on a video game? they only say inappropriate things?

Malfosa-whisperwind · February 22, 2019, 4:46pm

You’re the one who brought up being banned in the forums. You’re the one spinning imaginary plots involving people conspiring and paying money to get you banned from the forums.

Hypêrspace-dalaran · February 22, 2019, 4:47pm

not just me, most of the regular posters in the thread, both pro and con.

Gaunterr-wyrmrest-accord · February 22, 2019, 4:50pm

This thread is going strong xD

Hypêrspace-dalaran · February 22, 2019, 4:50pm

/wanders off cause it’s going in circles.

Malfosa-whisperwind · February 22, 2019, 4:50pm

And did you ever stop to think that those people violated the Forums Code of Conduct? No. And probably the mod who reviewed the report on your post was not paying close attention, thought “Ugh… here’s another one” and just rubberstamped another forum vacation. That is of course assuming you’re actually telling the truth and “just said hello”.

Prufinnor-wyrmrest-accord · February 22, 2019, 5:01pm

/hopes you bring back actual proof of your story while on walk-about.

Hypêrspace-dalaran · February 22, 2019, 5:16pm

okay fine

that is the actual point i’m making. people DO inappropriate things.

and this is the last post i’m going to make on this thread cause you’re …wait for it…
arguing just to argue
hehe

/waves bye bye

Please explain why you think they would they be paying out “millions of dollars in court fees”?

Please explain why they would not be paying out “millions of dollars in court fees” for the victims of am unwarranted player imposed punishment because Blizzard used a system that is extremely easy to abuse?

Carespanker-skullcrusher · February 22, 2019, 5:35pm

Is this the system you want for classic?

Looks pretty similar to what you’re describing. Ide link a video of the real party people first picture when you talk about censoring and controlling what people say but that would just get me right click reported away.

Galdor-maelstrom · February 22, 2019, 5:39pm

HAHAHAH, ROFL!

Only Fiction Fesz could post stuff like this and expect a serious answer.

Fesz-cenarius · February 22, 2019, 5:39pm

And you are talking about two different games with two entirely different environments.

Retail and classic are two different games, each of which has its own separate and distinctly different environment.

Other than the forced DC, a squelch in retail is almost meaningless.

In Classic, however, a squelch will be almost game breaking.

Elaice-blades-edge · February 22, 2019, 5:52pm

In classic, a GM still had to look at mass reports for action to happen. What if someone is tanking a world boss and a rival guild wants the screw them over (something that happened ALL the time, as classic was competitive) so they mass report them to DC and silence them?

No, taking someones herb/mining node might not get you silenced, but a rival guild shooting for server first who wants that nature resist gear from a dragon of nightmare before AQ? It most certainly will happen.

Fesz-cenarius · February 22, 2019, 6:24pm

I’m being serious.

I honestly want to know why you think Blizzard would be “paying out “millions of dollars in court fees” if those gold spammers were not immediately and summarily punished.

I also honestly want to know why you think that Blizzard will not be paying out “millions of dollars in court fees” for the victims of am unwarranted player imposed punishment because Blizzard used a system that is extremely easy to abuse.

Note, I am not saying that Blizzard will be paying out “millions of dollars in court fees” in either case.

I just honestly want to know why you think that Blizzard will be paying out “millions of dollars in court fees” for not immediately and summarily punishing gold sellers but would be untouchable by anyone who has to suffer an unwarranted player imposed punishment because Blizzard chose to use a system that is extremely easy to abuse.

You can, of course, refuse to answer, in which case we can all take that refusal to answer as indication that you are talking out of your posterior about those “millions of dollars in court fees”
