No more anal jokes in trade.
This x 10000, I'v sent feedbacks to Blizzard throughout the years asking for a bigger ignore list ever since they modified the ignore function for dungeon queues to avoid being placed in the same group as certain players again (I believe it was somewhere in WotLK expac).
Since it turns the ignore function into a tool for quality control, it makes only sense to increase the max number it can contain by order of magnitudes(I wish).
There's always going to be a certain percentage of players that are going to be bad apples whether the player base is at 300k or 12 millions, I think the limit should reflect that reality at least. Instead of having an arbitrary number (50?) that doesn't take in consideration population numbers.
Vile, angry players will be penalized and polite, cooperative players will be rewarded.
This pleases me! ^_^

Somebody already posted this but i didn't see an answer to this. How does that even work?
a larger ignore list, and full block of all their toons on that account would be nice
Hi
Or maybe Blizzard doesn't want to allow people to spew shit on their private platform? You're not entitled to say what you want on someone's private video game. Comparing it to Hitler is not only godwin as fuck but these situations are nothing alike. Hitler didn't ban people from spamming trade chat with shit jokes.
Nobody relies on World of Warcraft's trade chat to provide them with a platform for their political expression. If you open up trade chat, call someone a nigger faggot, then spam anal jokes, expect to be silenced for being an idiot. No normal player has anything to fear from this feature.
There IS no "freedom of speech" in game or on the Blizzard forums except what they allow. Since they are NOT the government, and both the game and forums are their property, is is very acceptable for them to determine what's allowed there. You don't like it, you're free to play someone else's game, or even design/build your own.
You want to wave the "Freedom of speech" flag and natter on about "totalitarian societies", go learn what the hell the oft-quoted "freedom of speech" actually applies to.
Those who are worried about this are likely the players that it'll effect the most. Sorry, but you shitlord keyboard warriors with anger issues are going to have to find another way to feel better about yourselves rather than act like an idiot in chat because you weren't hugged enough as a kid.
For those who think this'll be abused? I'm sure it will be but that'll entirely depend on whether or not Blizzard is able to properly investigate the reports. False positives slip through everything already so I'm sure that won't change but to think that every player out there has a Twitter army of level 1 characters or are multiboxers ready to fire off reports is a little bit much. All it takes is cross referencing the reports along with looking at your character's chat and they'll know if you're being a dick or not. If anything, those who create false reports should get the same treatment as those who are properly being reported.
Looks like MMO-C need something similar too.
the same way you know they don't half-ass botting reports or other types of reports that already happen?
This is literally the same system implemented on Heroes of the Storm, Starcraft2 and Overwatch. After a high amount of reports(the threshold is probably higher for Wow due to the nature of the game), a GM will review the reports and judge wether or not the player deserves the silence. Then the player will feel like they don't deserve and hilarity ensues
