Literally 1984
Good to see more options. Seems like it'd be an edge case but better to have more options than not.
So does this mean we don't have to tip-toe around all the sensitive snowflakes anymore?
I don't understand, does this block ALL messages from a certain group of people or just the ones it deems offensive?
As someone who picked up a 12 hour Twitter ban for using the expression "couldn't give a monkey's" I'm deeply sceptical of language-censoring algorithms, so I'll not be using this tool, lol. Reporting ppl works fine for me; I trust my own judgement better than Blizz's AI /facepalm
Can Wowhead datamine the complete list of blocked/inappropriate words? That would be a hilarious read on a Friday :D
this is a good thing.. we are all talking about toxic players this is a definent way this shut them up .. player dont need to be belittled or cursed at or any other type of cybergame bullying .. its gotten out of control this is why they had to take these drastic steps.we all just need to play nice its just a form of entertainment..people should not be going crazy loco in the membrane over this game.
The amount of people wondering if this means they can suddenly start swearing is truly depressing. Maybe they shouldn't be trying to communicate if they can't understand the article.
Email, yes please. Really sad getting random emails from gold/ leveling sellers.General/ say. Should not be an issue... I dont plan on disabling it myself...Party, raid, and any group event with others, no. You join a pug and you need to communicate with others in the group. I'm still not happy with Wow grouping people from non-english and only-english only together.
people really have gotten soft. i remember when people called you every name under the sun and people wouldnt get butthurt or offended
Just here for the comments!Seriously though, if this means I can enter words like <insert name of politician/toxic issue here> and have them not come up, that is amazing.edit - after rereading it seems i misunderstood. too bad, that's a great idea for filtering trolls out.
This is added because when m+ keys deplete they go from +20 to +19 and your pvp rating goes down when you lose. Toxic systems require toxic fixes.
