Blizzard will start banning racist and sexual harassers when they grow a SPINE
People get away with far too much distasteful speech in this game. Far too much. More could and should be done.
but true none the less.

Good because I said that
Never made this claim but ok, thanks for the vote of confidence

I think the best example of this is George Carlinâs bit about Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig

Am I trying to fish something out of the guy who openly admitted he finds racism funny? (Seriously, read the rest of his replies)
But no not really, just letting them know burning bridges for people expressing how they feel is weird.

Hmm, no, itâs sexist, victim-blaming, nonsense that should ideally be removed by the mods.

You mean comedy about racism? Yes thatâs funny, Iâm unaware of any actual racism occurring
What is or isnât weird is a matter of opinion.
I do really feel sorry for you guys because Iâm getting the impression youâve never seen Dave Chappelleâs racism skits and thatâs sad to me

âBlizzard just banned a tool/jackwagon for dressing as a klux member with his friends following him around on black toons.â
To which you replied:
No ones buying your feign ignorance, but if its real ignorance then that must really suck.
AlsoâŠwhy are you still responding to me? I am not even talking to you, are you seriously just watching this thread like a hawk? lmao

I hate to say it butâŠunfortunately probably not. Look at whatâs going on currently at blizzard.
Your only real course of action is to block them. Perhaps in a more extreme measure if youâre diligent/determined enough, you could get some other players to help you âcounterâ them for their actions, make the offenders lives a living hell in game. But thatâd be a long shot itself. And much like many other things especially online, it seems when you try to take matters into your own hands because those in a position to do something, wonât, the original offenders turn around and play the victim card and actually get off free, while you are now getting punished. No matter how massive the evidence against them you brought, even when you document and show the countless times you reported them and how you followed all the âcorrectâ channels originally, youâre just told âyou were in the wrong for your retaliationâ
The reality is, with all the things that have come out in recent times against acti-blizz, expecting any of the GMâs in-game to take action against racist, and especially sexist players is like expecting the winning lottery number to just fall in your lap. It wouldnât surprise me in the least if some of the disgusting actions are even from GMâs who also have normal accounts to hide behind.

A quick trip to the CS forum will show someone complaining he got a 10 day Suspension for Ongoing Harassment. Various other posts also complaining they got Suspended instead of just Silenced.
There is also an forum guide for how to handle Ongoing Harassment that I linked earlier in this thread.
The OP has the info they need at this point to Ignore, report, and track anyone behaving that way. If they have further questions on policy or procedure they can head to the CS forum and ask. It serves as an Information desk.

The rules put in place by a private entity to govern customersâ actions are not laws. Neither are they employment policies governing employee actions. Nor is this a courtroom dealing with a criminal case.
And thereâs no such thing as an âundocumentedâ law. Itâs either on the books as a statute or upheld through stare decisis as part of the common law.
Are you sure youâve learned the difference between those well enough to comment on them in a public forum?

They are laws and court as far as blizz and its property is concerned. Or are you unable to understand comparison?
Yours is, at best, an apples-to-kiwi comparison. Thereâs no logical parallel between them from which to draw a valid comparison.
except for the fact that it is a perfect comparison, as blizz makes the rules, (laws) and is the judge.
This only applies to cases between private parties. If the government is involved in a case involving alleged or actual violations of law, then the existence of statutes or common law on the topic is 1000% relevant.
If law = abide by the provisions of the law. If no law = courtâs hands are tied and no legal punishment is available or enforceable.

There is not a single governmental entity in the United States (at a minimum among civilized peoples) that is permitted to be accuser, judge, jury, and executioner. And in criminal cases (and even in civil actions), one can appeal judgements against them (or judgements made in favour of the other party) as long as they can articulate an error in fact, law, or fact and law. You canât just appeal because you donât like the decision.
Blizzard can essentially do all of those things, with zero recourse available if they decide it that way. So your comparison is still flawed.

We view it differently, thereâs no ignorance involved. You have your opinion about the meaning and I have mine. Unless you guys are mind readers.

I see your post count is kind of low so you may not be familiar with the âblue dotsâ
If I see a blue dot Iâll be back to visit

There is no lawmaking process by a democratically elected legislature, you donât go to court, you donât argue your case. There is no separate judge.
Blizz is 100% in charge of everything. We donât get a say or a âcourt dateâ.
Comparing a solo power over everything to a functional legal system is not really accurate.
