Will blizzard take a new stance on the abusive chat issue?

You can’t just say ‘Candy corn is bad’ and not expect flags. SMH

So you mentioned that you yourself have proof that this happens? Have you been suspended for using the words bad, idiot, or something similar previously? Do you have screenshots of trouble ticket responses or emails or what?

Damn it looks like you were the abuser all along.

Didn’t say you did or didn’t do anything wrong. Just stated with this type of discussion, your best course is the Support Forums on this, where they will actively discuss the means of your options as well if required go through the entire chat logs for examples, good and bad and expose what is and isn’t warranted IF an action did or didn’t take place.

They are against the rules, and if more people reported obvious rulebreakers, consequences would be dished out more to those who you believe “don’t receieve consequences”.

It’s not rampant nor is it going to suddenly become “an even larger problem”.

I have yet to see a single post in the CS forums, all of which start off with the same rhetoric “I was mass reported!!” or “I got auto-banned from mass reports!!” and all include “I did nothing wrong!!” or some other claim of innocence that didn’t end up being grossly false.

Every. Single. Time. a blue reminds them that they were actioned due to breaking the rules and are reminded of the facts that are conveniently left out by the OP.

One report or one hundred reports, it doesn’t matter. The only time an account is actioned (suspended or banned) from in-game reports is when a GM looks at the reports.

At the end of the day, these sorts of post rely on faulty information and baseless claims.

PvP has always been full of rage babies. The only people I’ve ever heard of that were actioned unfairly were responding to continual abusive chat in a less constructive way. Quite a few years ago, blizzard told players not to respond and just report. Not that they often actioned pvp’ers to my knowledge, but it appears they are now finally. That is a good thing. I can’t tell you how many times I was told to GKY or get cancer and perish a long horrible, painful death.

While, I agree with you, mostly, I will still give Blizz flack for not being consistent with their own rules when handing out actions.

I’ve reported, numerously, individuals who share similar rulebreaking scenarios with those who have been actioned, yet they themselves don’t get actioned despite being reported.

While, I understand the whole “up to Blizz’s discretion” bit, it’s somewhat confusing, when Blizz is not consistent with it.

Either something breaks the rules or it doesn’t. I don’t like the cop out excuse, that allows Blizz to get away with not properly enforcing the rules because of “their discretion”.

But still more people need to report, and if it becomes too much of a problem for Blizz to hide their inconsistency is when they’ll actually enforce their own rules, on certain things they let slide.

I want to remind you first off that people are aloud to grief players by purposefully throwing pvp matches, leaving M+ keystones after key is started, harass and abuse other players without use of voice “spam invites” , “spam report abuse” , heck even get on a mount and block gathering nodes these are common and are met with consequences ZERO percent of the time so please lets not be so naive and pretend this games justice system is perfect. There is plenty of proof of players and streamers being victim of mass reports, your claim that accounts are only banned after GM review is baseless and easily proven incorrect. The forums has a ridiculously better system with actual reviews and crime=time not a stacking debuff suspension that can be triggered by mass reports. I have seen plenty of proof of what ive stated above and even have one on my own occurence from THE PAST. I am again not under any account penalties nor is this a APPEAL.

Nowhere, in this drivel, have I seen you say “and I’ve reported them, too”. Please help make Azeroth a safer place by REPORTING!

Blizz is reactive and not proactive. REPORT!

The more of us that do, the more Blizz can’t hide what they let slide!

At one point blizzard admitted that sort of situation happened with some frequency, which is why they always said to not respond in kind.

Throwing matches is indeed against the rules and can be reported.

Yes, leaving a group is allowed and not against the rules or harassment at this time.

No idea what that means. Put the other player on ignore? Not sure what you’re referring to here.

Definitely a bigly rampant issue that nobody is talking about. My guess is because you can click through and target through mounts?

Yet, it’s never been proven incorrect. It’s been upheld time and time again in the CS forums. But yes, give the streamer moar clicks.

Yeah, we get it. It’s hypothetical.

When something gets reported by only one person, and that person they reported is indeed breaking the rules, punish the one who got reported. Easy peasy!

Sometimes, I feel like my own history of violations gets in Blizz’s way of properly dishing out consequences, as they should. Which is wrong.

I don’t have proof of it just a feeling. Hence, why I feel alone when reporting what needs to be reported. I wish others would help, but they don’t and make excuses about it.

I know it’s against the rules but it’s not enforced. There are notable players that threw/abandoned rated matches in solo shuffle an entire expansion without consequence.

I don’t think you quite get what I’m saying, people mass joining keys and leaving immediately it starts to harm others. It’s not uncommon I’ve seen it and I have barely participated in the m+.

You’re just being disengenous on this topic.

So are you 'cause I’ve not once seen you say that you’ve reported any of these people. You’re equally part of the problem but not reporting because Blizz is not going to look at what hasn’t been reported.

That’s just another bold assumption my friend. I do report people who grief or attempt to harass others by calling to report them for not breaking any rules which is about every other battleground. Again greifing and harassment via the report system is not against the rules because there is zero consequence.

You didn’t say that you did until now. After I addressed it to you, TWICE.

But saying:

IS against the rules! The fact that you think it isn’t is a problem.

Why would you tell people they’re “bad”? That, in and of itself, IS harassment and SHOULD be reported because it’s not nice nor productive.

It does not foster a friendly community. I’d ban you, too.
