How many of you guys got silenced already?

[Cynical Person]

I told someone to kill themselves and got silenced.

THE INJUSTICE.

Numbers will probably rise seeing that it is, unlike Blizzard has stated, automated.

Asmongold asked people on stream to report him for saying "I love Warcraft" and after 40 seconds, he got a timeout.

Asmongold did it as a test, and will probably be un-silenced after a ticket.
The system is nice, and hopefully people that abuse it will see severe punishment.

I don't even get why anyone expected any different. Without it being automated, how exactly would it be any different to the pre-legion System?

[Twistedelmo]

How would the abusers of the system be punished?

[dacoolist]

This is why I love asmongold - he's always testing everything out PROPER

[Deathquoi]

Blizzard will investigate cases and determine whether or not the reports were legitimate or abusive.

I understand that part, but lets just say i want to be a dick and spam everyone in trade for spam or try to get crowd to mob report someone because for whatever reason.

Would I receive punishment? or would i just simply not be allowed to report someone.

[dacoolist]

Blizzard always thinks of ways to curb jerks, such as the idea in Hearthstone being so vague/etc with emotes.. They want to curb the amount of players being jackass's in trade like Goon Squad trolls on Mal'Ganis NA - so basically, the system was SUPPOSED to be "not automated" - but we damn well fucking knew it was going to be automated.

*shakes fist*

We don't know. I think you should get a short suspension myself since you're basically screwing with other people's game experience with no reason.

[Teebone]

Why do you people still play their shit? Do you honestly expect Blizzard to not either over react or under compensate? Given the history? There is no middle with them. Yet... here we go again.

[Lodreh]

Don't be dicks... how hard is it to understand? Don't troll and fuck with people just because. Be a human being. Not hard to live by in RL but for some reason the internet makes people stupid.

How is this a new system if there is a topic from 2011 about it??

If they already had that, why would they announce a change with the prepatch, that stated that AFTER reviewing it a silence would be given or not.
But as it stands, Blizzard either didn't enable the new system yet or they flat out lied. Choose one

LFG kicking says lol no.

Because what Asmongold did in his video depicting the fact this silence system is automatic was totally him being a dick...oh wait, he wasn't.

This. Proof already the system can be abused and is utter shite.

[Deleted]

When I saw the announcement, I instantly thought:
"Well that's not how it will go. There will be FAAAAAR more reports then there are GMs so they will never end reviewing. They will add in automated detection."

And guess what I was wrong... not detection for swear words or common insults (which would be understandable, not great but would do the job) but FULL automation.

I fail to see the relevance... the OP told someone to kill themselves and was silenced... I responded don't be a dick. Has nothing to do with if the system can be abused.
