Expand the ignore list

Post by Zoldorf » Wed Oct 30, 2024 1:51 pm

I understand that I can get a blacklist addon, and have in fact done this after running into the limit, but it just feels like this is not something that should need to be done. The default ignore list only gives you a single page limit, meanwhile there seems to be no effort to remove the people spewing racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, really the full spectrum of hate in world chat.

Really my suggestion is "please just remove people who see no problem with spewing hatred into the global chat that anyone getting into Turtle WoW for the first time is forcibly exposed to" but I think expanding the ignore list is more realistic.

What can I say? It's a pretty quick and immediate thing to run into.

Report those people, send in a chatlog, they'll lose access to world chat soon enough.

Me, I just filter World Chat so only LFT, LFG, WTS & WTB get through.

Sometimes GM think it's okay to tell sexists jokes on a world chat. Why ? Because they don't consider that it's sexist at all and hey "it's just a joke". They probably follow a strict set of rules but are unable to actually tell why something is sexist and why something isn't based on materialist facts. Also most of the harm comes from innuendo, intended or not, which can't lead to sanctions without opening a whole new set of problems.

The OP is not talking about innuendo. There's no goal here to eliminate sexism from the world.

I am talking of innuendo. What's your point ?
You say that reporting behaviors will filter world chat from hatred, I say it's not gonna happen by taking a example.
Also I agree, there's no way here to eliminate hatred from the world of warcraft.

So OP is right, please extend the ignore list.

It's common enough that this would be an incredible pain. Not to mention I see GMs posting in the channel when it's happening, which will quiet things down for a few minutes before the same stuff starts right back up. It doesn't really feel like they care about removing those people.

No one's talking about ending prejudice. If GMs aren't going to moderate the chat enough then people need better tools to curate it themselves.

There was a derail attempt about innuendo. I pointed out that wasn't the topic. So we agree.

I'm not saying the status quo is good for sure. I just gave up on any hope of world being acceptable really fast, and got read of all non-functional chatter.
