Unpopular opinion

Community General Discussion

It MAY be an unpopular opinion, but here goes:

If a player falsely reports another player, they should face the same penalties as which the reported player would have accrued.

Player 1: “Hello there”

Player 2: reports player 1 for spam

Player 2: gets silenced for one day for falsely reporting another player

This would only happen though, if there were a human presence to look at said report though. You know it’s getting bad when guilds are false mass reporting other guilds for the sake of progression and spite.

You’re not a small indie company anymore Blizzard.

Edit: Yes, I know, Sunday thread, =(

Good thing that doesn’t happen

:slight_smile:

Edit: What also constitutes a false report?

If you’re reporting someone for spam, when they’re clearly not spamming.

If you’re reporting someone for vulgar language, when they’re not using vulgar language

If you’re reporting someone for cheating, when they’re not cheating.

You get the point, right?

What if you personally felt they were spamming?

What if you felt that their language was hostile?

What if you thought they were cheating?

Sounds like a great way to punish anyone for using the report system

Are you by any chance the friend of a Dranei who also made a post complaining about “false reports”

Sure doesn’t seem a unpopular opinion. Here’s my take though.

If the report abusers get caught, it should have their results rebound and doubled the length of time. Banned from social related activities for a week? Lets double it…! And they have their report ability revoked for…who knows how long, 6 months maybe?

Sure seems like OP and others are spamming this topic

Now one wants people banned for reporting spam

Coincidence?

If player 2 get silences then the report was valid! Gm’s review reports and issue silences or suspensions based on the logs and current policy. There are no automatic silences or bans due to reports.

Only thing automatic is a SQUELCH!

Correction there: I am not spamming, the topic might be spammed, but I am not.

Now if I were to make this thread or variances of it multiple times today, then that would be spam.

This has been proven incorrect. There are videos showing actual chat bans and there are people who have been banned for a month for supposedly being AFK in AV. Blizzard has even acknowledged this.

Yeah tbh really does look like spam from someone who broke the rules they agreed too, got silenced and is now having a temper tantrum on the forums spamming threads with alt characters…

Did Senator McCarthy spend jail time?
I forget.

Nice emotion-based assumption there. It would be one thing for you to disagree with my opinion, but to go on a tirade like that and be 100% wrong is another thing entirely.

Like I believe those video’s, As far as I know the only automatic thing is the squelch. Show me where blizard has officially said there are automatic bans?

They are not doctored. Nor are the massive amounts of pushback for the AV bans that Blizzard specifically addressed.

Or you can just stop getting reported! That could also work.

How is it not spam?

There’s multiple threads on the same subject and you made yet another

Also it’s kinda funny y’all started this after asmond proved the thing exists that everyone already knew exists

So you’ll excuse me if I feel like your outrage is insincere and more attention seeking

I haven’t been getting reported, I’m just noticing a trend and decided to bring the topic up based on my opinion.
