Who Will Not Accept The Social Contract?

Seeing as it is just the same TOS we have had since installing the game of course I will accept it nothing to get worked up about unless those who don’t want it are same as the ones it is meant to go after.

I am sure if you try again they will just prompt you again. I can’t see it being so final.

Of course. No reason not to, imho. :slight_smile:

I’m going to decline at first just in case there’s a bug that still lets me play, but when that doesn’t work, I’ll accept.

Social contract.

The whole thing is downright silly. The fact that it’s even there. The fact that people are still arguing about it.

It is a re-statement of two things:

  • Suggestions on how to be nice and get along in an MMO. Mostly stuff on the login screen tips. Those are NOT enforceable. Just suggestions.
  • A reminder of the rules we have agreed to on chat, not spamming, etc. Those have not really changed since 2004 and have always been enforceable IF reported.

They did add a few more detailed report categories to the right click report tool - Advertisement, botting, boosting/deranking.

You can read about those here


Here is the whole text so you can read it ahead of time.

Hail, traveler, and welcome to the World of Warcraft! Azeroth is a living world full of people like you - other players with different backgrounds, cultures, experiences, and histories who have all come together to play World of Warcraft. Every player deserves to have a world that they feel safe in, so please take a minute to read our Social Contract.

While in Azeroth, do your best to:

  • Connect with other players and make friends! Being courteous in group content can help you and your teammates have the best time possible. Sending a friendly hello message can help set your group up for success.
  • Play as a team with your fellow players - whether in dungeons, raids, battlegrounds, arenas, or out questing in the world. Do your best to support your team through your communication and behaviors so that you can all celebrate your success together.
  • Assist other players that you encounter in the world. Maybe they need some help defeating a tough monster, or maybe they could use a little healing!
  • Help answer questions others have in chat channels like General or Trade. We were all newbies once - one person offering some help can go a long way!

We recognize that the Internet is not always a safe haven. With that in mind, please note that the following behaviors are not accepted in Azeroth:

  • Hate speech, including negative comments that target another player’s identity, including aspects like race, gender, or ability
  • Harassment, threats, or abusive / derogatory language and behaviors
  • Spamming, advertising, or other disruptive behaviors
  • If you harm your fellow adventurers with any of the above behaviors, you are subject to punishment up to and including suspension of your account.

It’s a big world out there, with all sorts of people in it. So please try to be respectful of each other, and if you ever feel like somebody is acting against this code, please report those behaviors so that our team can look into it. Together, you can help us make the World of Warcraft a safe home away from home for everyone.

Is that like suggested recipes on the back of the Velveeta box?

I have no idea. Never had any Velveeta products. My understanding is that it is a fake cheese “food” product.

I’m happy to accept it and I hope they enforce it.

It means nothing. Its symbolism over substance.

I’m allergic to them, but the box has suggested recipes printed on it.

Free speech is important to a properly functioning society. You can just ignore anyone who says something you don’t like.

The Council has a long ways to go. Seems like you always preaching to deaf ears. Though I suppose that shouldn’t feel any different from everyday life eh? Call a council meeting and tell the others to spread the word xD

Cheers!

Yes this the only ones mad and screaming about it are those who go out of their way to be mean to people

Then what’s the point of the censorship. If it’s just a game, you shouldn’t take it so seriously.
