The Silence Penalty

[Pann]

I love these one-liner replies that ignore everything they quote.

Here's my reply to your reply:

No.

Well, why write a book when you can make your point with a sentence?

To support it.

If there's an API that can be used - even in a roundabout way - to file a report, mass reporting, and, consequently, insta-silencing, will be as simple as doing ready checks.

This is simply priceless. In a sad kind of pornstar-abuse-story way. Frankly I'm enjoying it cause it's got to be teaching someone a lesson. I like to think that the same dumbasses who thought this was a good idea get silenced by a pack of assholes with nothing better to do but dump their frustrations down on people.

For every person reported, they look at what he said publically over a time interval (say, ten minutes) before the reports. They look for anything that could be objectionable.

They classify this three ways: (1) objectionable, which upholds the new penalty, (2) questionable, which does not uphold the penalty, but doesn't affect the reporters, and (3) innocent, which does not uphold the penalty, and in addition gives each reporter a black mark.

If a reporter gets enough black marks they are investigated in greater depth. If a group of reporters are getting black marks together that flags them for extra priority attention.

I would support that.

Are you jealous because he has many fans while nobody knows who the fuck you are?

Sure, my narcissism clouds all my thinking.

I knew it!

I fucking called it. I knew this was going to happen. Screw all you idiots who said nothing could go wrong with this system, and that I'm wearing a tinfoil that. "It wasn't automated, it was flawless". There's idiots on the official WoW forums still saying that this system is a godsend.

Remove this garbage system immediately.
