At this point I'm refusing communications outside my guild

You should also be careful while communicating “inside” your guild. A small joke on guild chat, only you and targeted players will understand, can easily lead you an another automatic response. :slightly_smiling_face: :blush:

the new systems is designed to show that bliz care and are doing something about toxicity while also helping to reduce actual staffing levels. Win win.

obviously, not a win for those who want to report genuinely abusive behaviour, but that was never the point of it :frowning:

How does it stop you reporting abusive behaviour?

If you want, I can hop on my Horde alt quickly and tell you if I got one from you.

Puny and I did a quick test, this is the result:

Apparently it is the entire sentence that triggers it. Probably just a very thought out list of “potential trigger sentences” or maybe even AI automation.

So we did some experimenting. Yes it triggers a system, which I think is a bit over zealous on Blizzard’s behalf but it does not auto report you.

It gives the person receiving the message the option to show the message, then show it and report if they feel it was offensive.

Ofc neither of us reported the other I’m not sure if action would be taken. I’m not willing to put that to the test myself but it would seem daft for it to result in action. Bit over the top.

ironic :man_facepalming:

I was reading your words, I’m sorry I’m not allowed to question you because my text is a different colour.

Nothing about this system prevents the reporting abusive of messages people receive.

how so ? in what way for the love of tenchars

If the last word had been ‘die’ I would have understood but not fail. Fail is just mean. Die is something that should be reported.

You were being demeaning and in my view abusive to the MVP .

why not answer my question? i didn’t say it stops people reporting abuse as you said i did. i implied that’s not what its been implemented for.

you may have been reading my words but you were not comprehending their meaning.

and you are of course allowed to question regardless of your text colour. where did i say you couldn’t? the not easy being green is a kermit the frog quote

yes but you said my reply was ironic not demeaning or abusive.

Funnily enough that’s why I asked for clarification. Which you jumped on me for.

Because one system does not stop the other in any way.

W/e you do you muted not wasting my time with an obvious flamebaiter.

you make no sense. how were you asking for clarification by saying i said somehting i clearly didn’t? isn’t that abusive more than me pointing it out?
