Things right click reporting will get you muted for:

phrase it like what? Asking a simple question? Do you think the CLassic community is better than Current WoWs.

Community does not mean that people are not going to take advantage of any possible thing they can.

Sure it does, and I am talking about the fear mongering that any abuse would be massive, which shouldn’t happen if the community is supposed to better than it is now.

The community can’t intervene in the reporting system, and isn’t even aware of who issued the reports. Therefore, the community isn’t a factor since it can’t react.

The community intervenes in the system by entering a report in the first place.

That’s not a community. That’s a small group within a community. Big difference.

Sure it is, the reports are issued by players, they’re not arbitrarily assigned by the system. So if you get silenced it’s because the community wanted you silenced.

“Arsonists burned a warehouse down. The community wanted this to happen because the arsonists were part of a community.”

Edit: actually, why am I responding to you. You’re a troll… Keep on keeping on, Zyrus.

That a False Analogy

Explain. You have an act that most of the community would disagree with (abusing the auto-mute), and the people doing it are anonymous since the community is not aware of who reports.

[Lusifer-gorgonnash (Lusifer)]

Why doesn’t blizzards just skip the middle man of “Right click to falsely report” and have a option pop up when creating a character on Classic that states

• are you in favor of right click to report
  yes_
  or
  No_
  And if you check yes your account get permanently muted with 0 chance for appeals and you can’t see anything anyone is saying in game ever; thus giving you the end result of what will happen, and exactly what you want to happen.

And if you check No than you get to play the game and interact with the community only being able to ignore jerks and manually create Gm tickets to report them. And use the in game language filter if you don’t want to see crude language.

I just came up with that in like 30 seconds and I have to say its a better solution than keeping “Right click to falsely report” someone in game.

Blizzard deals with false reports not the community.

You need to go outside. People don’t usually act like they do on the internet. Corporations have long held policies about what is acceptable behavior and what is not. In fact society in general works just like that.
By total garbage you mean you can’t spew whatever you feel like without repercussions.

I can talk about politics in public and not expect to be thrown out the door of Any establishment.

nope. i am on retail right now. have never stopped playing wow. difference is proximity + interaction, partiularly related to competition. competing for resources (retail’s economy is not focused on lower level herbs, skins and ores but classic’s is) is much more pronounced on vanilla. grinding mobs for xp creates competition for mobs. world dragon spawns cause competition (retail shared tags. classic no shared tags.) etc

But WoW is private property and they decide what is allowed and not. Blizzard’s house, Blizzard’s rules.

That’s the point. We’re not talking about Blizzard’s rules. We’re talking about mob rule. It isn’t against Blizzard’s CoC to discuss politics.

I feel like this is a worthwhile contribution to this thread.

Nor does Blizzard condone it.

What does that mean? How are we to converse when we don’t even know what is acceptable? If the CoC isn’t even the guideline by which we limit ourselves, then the system is #$)@.

Tell us all how 5 or 10 players represents the community as a whole.

Tell me why I should think the report system will be abused anymore in classic than it is in retail.

This is the point. People will get squelched for not even breaking the CoC. They’ll get squelched based on individuals’ judgments of what’s acceptable. So the oversensitive SJWs will report everything and anything. And the trolls will wreak havoc towing that undefined line of acceptable or not acceptable reports.

It’s just an unfortunate result of Activision gutting the customer support staff. It’ll be the trolls’ paradise.

[Thundertotem-blackwater-raiders (Thundertotem)]

I have never seen a civil political discussion in wow, it always ends with insults and generally breaking the CoC.

That’s because people lack the maturity to simply ignore someone and move on with their lives. They instead feel an insatiable need to silence that person from the world. You shouldn’t reward that kind of immature behavior, which auto-squelch does.

[Ghannagh-moon-guard (Ghannagh)]

Watch out guys, breathing will get your reported and squelched, the average player is TOTALLY going to be petty enough to get their whole guild to mass report you, IT’LL HAPPEN, I’M NOT CRAZY, YOU’LL SEE

When you’re talking about the extremes and trolls who abuse a system you don’t focus on the ‘average’ player. If anyone could hand out a speeding ticket, most wouldn’t bother. But there’s always going to be a group of power-hungry jerks who’ll pull you over going 56. Those people are the reasons you don’t give everyone that kind of power.

We also shouldn’t reward people who think WoW general chat channels should be their personal soap box to spew what ever garbage they want, auto squelch punishes that behavior.
