Then take your own advice. They ruin your key, ignore them and move on. You don't have the change anything about how you act and you can spout whatever you feel, but they can't feel insulted and should just take it? Learn some restraint too. It's a game, it's not like your life depends on it that you can't stop feeling anger and insult them...
If you expect ppl to stop being soft and weak and learn to take insults, then you can expect ppl to not be mean and dish insults. And the latter by far makes for a better experience for everyone.
Some cultures have negative views on women imbedded in their religion and societies. So if someone in games says negative things about women in the trade chat and I defend them will I get banned for harassing someone based on their culture or religion?

Everything in the contract has been in the tos foe the last 18+ years. They are just making sure people are reading it and understanding it. They have not changed anything, it has always been in the game.

You do know that literally 100% of what is in the contract has been in the TOS for the last 18+ years. They are just making sure you understand what you sign uo for when you bought the game.
They are enforcing the rules that have been in place for almost 2 decades.
I say it all the time. I would rather play with baddies than a toxic good player.
I would wait to see proof of them enforcing it more before claiming that I've seen this song and dance before...
The whole group thing seems rather absurd and impossible to enforce. Trying to hold people hostage from not wanting to stick to failed groups either can't be enforced or will kill off pugging.
I mean who cares?
The ToS doesn't matter when you get down to it. Any online service starts from the point of view they can ban you for anything. The stated tos is a vague guideline at best and is often ignored.
I recall being temp banned from the offical forums. Not for breaking tos or insulting anyone but by pointing out an embarrassing mistake the wow marketing team did.
( It was back when they spotlighted community guilds. The guild they picked was a rivial one and the picture they used was one of the GM flipping blizzard off holding a replica ashbringer. The gm simply cropped his hand giving the bird for the photo. )

Hmm... On the whole I like the fact that Blizzard is (seemingly) trying to curb toxic behavior. My only concern is how vague this wording is, especially regarding terms like identity, ability, and disruptive behaviors. Those could easily be molded to fit the perception of a less than mentally healthy individual and used to cause a ban that may not have been justified.
This is all assuming that Blizzard actually enforces their ToS which is a totally different conversation.
No joke, this is what its coming to, if someone has a different opinion than you, they can simply report, and have others report you, and there's nothing anyone can do about it, the safest option is to have no conversations at all. God forbid you do LFR and tanks don't know fight and they expect everyone that does to sit there and explaining it for 20mins, meanwhile you argue they should watch a 5min utube vid about it and then you get kicked out of LFR, and days later have an account silence.

Blizzard is already banning people with no justice, they could careless if it was justified....
Its already abused, and will be more so after this....banned for a week for basically telling someone in LFR to lookup the fights before joining instead of making everyone sit there while no one explains and 1 tank keeps pulling and we get 10 stacks....with no one kicking anyone.. lol its a bad joke
"toxic" behaviour has no definition
if you think someone is "bad" its ok to use the report system and get them banned
when you are banned Blizzard will not tell you why you are banned
anything that can be deemed "unnecessary" can also be classified as spam in the #@%^ed up culture they are using to run their game now
one of the GM's said i should act like i was in witness protection to avoid getting falsely reported by other players
10 reports = instant ban without GM review (people need to be in different guilds or you will need more reports)
you can organize a 11th person in your discord to provoke the person you want banned then report for literary no real reason... anything that can be considered "toxic" is a valid reason for the ban to stay on the account and will not be removed

Maybe they shouldn't have fired all those GMs if they wanted people to behave. Nobody will stop being an asshole just because you made them pinky swear to be a good boy.
