being toxic is a chat ban
thats what we are talking about, some people mainly the newer younger people of today could not take these comments lightly, its ends up in chat bans
but us older more wiser internet boomers that were here during the 4chan peak were able to take much more verbally .
i cant believe i had to piece all that together for you mr ThinSkin
us? im 22 buddy.
u wouldnāt get banned since no one manual reviews and neither of those sentence contain anything that gets detected by the auto filter
dont type ban words = dont get banned gg
where that meme i had onceā¦ where the point is being completely missed
i cba to find it , youāll get it eventually
its ok grandpa keep schizoranting on the wow forums 
now who is cringe 
This is true I have been muted on the forums several times over the years and never once was my mute carried over into the game it was only on the forums
Most 4channers seem to be very fragile and insecure irl tho, they just hide it behind hurling insults, thatās why itās such a breeding ground for radicalized mass shooters, those are not really actions of thick-skinned or well adjusted individuals.
Which confirms what I said, doesnāt it?
I mean, players report other players.
At the end of that report is not a customer service representative, but a computer program.
That program has certain flags built into it. So if a report triggers one of those flags (volume of reports, certain words or phrases, etc.) the program issues a corresponding action (silence, suspension, etc.).
Depending on the category of the action the program takes, there may be a customer service representative who reviews the action (suspension, appeal, etc.), but for the most part the system is automated.
I know a few with perma bans on the forums who still freely play the game.
No you are purporting everything is automated and itās not.
I guess Iām saying that Blizzard manually reviews longer suspensions and appeals for the most part, but otherwise it appears automated.
You can be massively reported by forum gang, happens a lot
Thatās a bit of a grey area, which is likely what the OP speaks toward, but with a focus on the game experience.
If you donāt say anything, youāre not going to get banned for saying something.
But if you say something, there is a higher than zero percent chance that youāll get banned for saying it.
And the more you say something, the higher the probability of getting banned becomes, because you are increasingly likely to violate rules, and you are increasingly likely to be the recipient of reports.
What can be noted, is that certain channels, certain people, and certain environments bring with them an increase in the likelihood of rules violations and/or the likelihood of reports.
So on the forums, if you make a post on the Events and Fan Creations forum that violates the forum rules, youāre unlikely to get banned for that, because no one reads that forum, and therefore no one is going to report your post.
But if you make a thread on the general forum thatās highly controversial and you engage in lengthy discussion with other posters, you are likely going to be on the receiving end of a lot of reports, and if you have violated the forum rules to any degree in any of your posts, then youāll likely get banned as a consequence.
And thatās the same in the game.
Having an outburst in a battleground chat is likely going to result in more reports than having an outburst in a private whisper is. And therefore the former is also more likely to lead to silence or suspension than the latter is.
The report system is ultimately reactionary and it responds to the volume of reports and the severity of the reported text.
Thereās a grey area there where you can violate the rules and not get banned simply because no one reports you, or where you make minor violations of the rules and get repeatedly banned, but others donāt, because the reports are skewed towards you for whatever reasons.
And so on.
Itās not a perfect system.
I had an incident of people stalking my characters and reporting for names, characters that were inactive for year and also were not even offensive. That would not happen without the forum as I mentioned, those characters were incactive for a long time, I am okay with the free name change though (which did not matter much, as I donāt play those characters at all). Still, it is disgusting behaviour
Even threw reports on my thread
proves once again that people abuse the rep system
and we all know that who they are and who they worship here.
its sad but it shows the level of these people and their leader.
I have no idea what you are talking about. We are talking about actions on the forums do not affect you in game.
A suspension from the forums does not equal a suspension in game (preventing you from being able to play).
No worries a moderator will look at it and see you have broken no rules and restore the post to its full gloryā¦ these people who mass report posts and get it flagged are just trolling in my opinion to get under our skins donāt let them they do not deserve any of our attention.

A ton of people have been getting hit with silences recently, I know 4 streamers that I watch that have been hit by it. I know for sure that at least one of them has never said anything that could warrant a silence and is only getting AI-responses when they try to appeal it.
Blizzard needs to just get rid of this system with how people abuse it.
It does sound like thereās a bit of a wave going on right now, thatās the word on the grapevine at least.
The problem with Blizzardās automation is that it is met by players with their own automation. The proliferation of addons that automatically report chat behavior, advertisements, spam, and so on, ultimately just increases the number of reports and thus also the number of corrective actions dispensed by Blizzardās automated system.
Itās a war of machines with man caught in the middle.
