It puts them on ignore for the duration of that gaming session. Reporting is exactly what you should be doing.
“Justice” is not immediate. GM review takes a bit and then they do Silence or Suspend depending on what the chat logs show and what the account history of past infractions is.
Then the people come to the forums to complain that they got Silenced or suspended for “nothing”.
It is not instant and they won’t tell you specifically what actions were taken against that player.
Here are some recent forum posts for WoW chat suspensions.
Excellent idea. If someone needs more guidance on policies, how to report, etc, that is a great place to head. It serves as an Information Desk to explain support options and policies.
Justice is never served if someone is punished by something they have no way of defending themselves.
And another part of justice ironically all sJws forget is the presumption of innocence. No one is guilty until proven so, and no one is guilty of something that they CAN be guilty of pure and simple. You need to be ABLE to and ACTUALLY do what you are being punished for to be guilty.
So yeah, it might let some guilty people free, but MORE IMPORTANT is not to punish the innocent in the stive to accomplish what ACTUALLY law is there for:
“Law is not there to punish the guilty, but to establish patterns of behavior”.
When you use justice as an excuse to make people who wronged you suffer pure and simple, it is not justice, it is pure vengeance.
That might be your age showing. Just like slang, memes, and insults change now, they did back in history too.
The comparison between black people and monkeys is a very old and harmful trope designed to dehumanize them as a group. It is not as common now, but some people still use it. Last major resurgence of it was during the Obama presidency although it was often in political cartoons aimed at an older audience.
Thankfully, it is not something most people do anymore. Dehumanizing people is a really vile thing to do.
You did your job by reporting him, he will probably get reported by other players in the future which will bring his name to Blizzard’s attention and it will result in a ban or not.
Well sure…many words can be used in a racist way. That doesn’t mean the word “chimp”, itself, is racist. Surely the majority of times it is used, it is in a non-racist way.
It is important to remember that every report of a player is investigated by Blizzard, and if they are found to have violated the terms of service, they can face penalties up to and including a ban. However, the process may take time, as Blizzard needs to gather evidence and determine whether or not the reported behavior violates their policies.
It is also possible that the player in question has not yet been reported enough times to warrant a ban, or that the reports against them have not been deemed sufficient to take action. In any case, it is important to continue reporting toxic behavior, including racist remarks, as it helps to create a more welcoming and inclusive community for all players.
Additionally, it is worth noting that while Blizzard can take action against individual players, it is also important to address the broader issue of racism within the gaming community. This includes promoting and supporting diversity and inclusion initiatives, and actively working to combat toxic and discriminatory behavior both in-game and in the wider gaming community.
What does this have to do with somebody that may or may not have been being racist? Get a grip, you win the dumbest reply to a thread of the day award, gratz…
