Why is ‘child abuse’ a reportable option now?

Is this for minors getting verbally abused in game or something?

They had this?

Well, also since this game are for 12 year age. If players who much oldest than them.
Who play WoW longer than them. Old/adult players can abuse young players in chat.

I would guessed.

Where is it found??

Report Player

No players were reported in the making of this screenshot.

I also see a Terrorist/Violent Content option which I don’t remember there :neutral_face:

Will I get reported for both these last 2 if I go to Stormwind and RP by yelling “Everyone go to Orgrimmar and kill their offspring, FOR THE ALLIANCE!”?

Gosh, sorry for your happened.
I guessed since in game if players do like this. Make other players fear about Real Life thing, maybe.

I am missing like half of these options, this is real right?

I literally just took that in game

I am curious how you can prove who is a child and who not , so that you can report them for child abuse …
The people making these things are clinical idiots .
If I say I am a child and report someone for telling me to -xxxxx- , will they get banned and reported to the police for child abuse .
Nothing but more censorship and abuse between players in the name of fake ideals .
Liberal Fascists galore …

I presume a child will know they are a child and can report an adult for it.

I’m sorry! :dracthyr_heart:

You think someone is going to set up a fake account with a date of birth to make them out to be a minor and phish for someone to try and groom them?

Seems a bit far fetched to me.

Why do you think people set a real date of birth on their account in the first place ?
And second there is a thing called parental control , which is for people who share their accounts with their children . AKA a child can play on ANY account . Which means anyone can pretend to be a child and no one an disprove it .

Only a three letter agency contractor would do that.

Are you developers / mods even aware how much damage this report system is doing to the game? Ignore feature exist, stuff like this is insane “child abuse” requires serious evidence and can lead to complete deformation of character even if the accused is innocent. Maybe put your data scientists on research duty and compare social behaviour with vanilla, tbc and wotlk versus now where every channel is almost forced silent because of the automated AI Template ticket system you guys got going for you. Whomever is in charge of development of this open your eyes you will completely bleed your player base if you continue down this dumb path.

I have my real date of birth on my account. It’s one of the most basic ways to verify who you are.

I think blizz examines reports through chat logs if this would be the case.

When I reported a player for sexually harassing me, it didn’t break the game.

This is pure hysteria.
