nathanthegrathan: The rundown early cut still gets me.

zapspiders92: The buildup to "no, it was a shit show. Obviously" never ceases to make me smile with how much buildup there is

marcp9926: LOL, not even the 'L' of Let's, shorter and shorter.

Elfoten: 8:00 - players cant curse anymore

Afli lock automatic gets deleted.

vesperlena: I wish Blizzard would just provide a copy of the chat that gets you banned so that there is no doubt what the ban was for. Every single time I see one of these posts on Reddit about how they got banned and they "don't know why", I just roll my eyes. These instances wouldn't even need to be escalated through CS if that initial email had the "proof" for the ban.

AzerothGoPro2023: I don't know why, but Evis "lets run down" getting shorter and shorter brightens my day each time i hear it. Can we get a montage of how it progressively got shorter?

MrBolyo1: Very cathartic to see this the day I got suspended for 10 days for "spamming" a macro in temple of kotmogu that says "Orbs orbs orbs" to let my team know they need to pick up the orbs.

aaronbooth200: The rundown cut gets me every time

MaddSeazyn: Blizzard CS never really recovered after the great purge of CSA’s when the numbers took a nosedive in Cataclysm. I remember when I once got six days free game time for not being able to enter MC.

darknesspm: Might be naive of me, but if I ever got banned for something I would want reasoning behind it. Unless its a permaban, the player will return. So why not provide the cause of the ban so that you:

- Have a reference point for any potential appeal

- Get called out and can adjust your behaviour going forward when you return to the game after the ban

Not disclosing the reason to the affected player, is effectivly putting that player in a "I dont understand why" -mentality regardless if it was warrented or not.

If the system can ban you based on something, even if done so automaticly, it can also provide that reason in the ban.

figalmighty1: My 'passion' spikes everytime my fellow "countrymen" [spoken with all of the sighs] speak of Freedom of speech... please fellow Americans learn the law. Freedom of speech is Freedom from 'Government' retaliation or punishment regarding speech. It has never been anything else... it doesn't mean people are forced to listen to you, it doesn't mean people have to like what you said... grow THE F*** UP!

[I say this knowing anyone watching already knows this FFS I am so tired :V ]

artcanbelove7873: I need an addon to remind me to use the photo addon.

RotalHenricsson: Considering the Blizzard ui has me sacrificing thirteen goats while dancing around an enchanted campfire just to open a fucking ticket ingame i'm actually shocked that they HAVE a customer support left.

parkerdixon-word6295: To clarify the Free Speech point : Free Speech laws mean that the government cannot censor your speech, but have no bearing on other people telling you to shut up.

The funniest example of this is that a US army Twitch channel apparently received a ruling that they are not allowed to ban people from their chat for trolling them asking about War Crimes, which I find hilarious.

Free Speech means the government cannot criminally prosecute you for expressing your opinions, not that a company can't ban you for swearing badly enough in a video game that someone else gets annoyed and reports you. Companies can do whatever the hell they want, just like someone talking to you in person can tell you to shut up and leave them alone.

mscaldwell_dop: Dragonflight timewalking… wasn’t ready for that information…

localshaman: The twist: The F bomb was "Forum"

jakelehmann7087: I remember when blizzard used to have a support like you could call, which was great… now it’s all AI slop from support. It’s kind of wild.

thecorsairhimself: Blizzard used to have a REALLY DECENT customer service; every time I dealt with them they were always good.

molin1: It's like people forgot they had to sign that social contract (multiple times by now) to play the game.

hacerosinosidables: I appreciate a good automated response when it helps, I think problem is when the response itself is not enough (or the person asking for a response has some extra need of human communication, let's say) and the walls to reach a real person are too high, it's deeply frustrating and I can understand why player A wrote that message; and I can understand why Tali's advice is good as well. I'm sure there's a good middle point between automation and "ask your in-game GM", but is not what companies want today. About the F bomb part, as an spaniard myself (and I'm sure this happens to other non-native english speakers) don't get very much how "strong" is the F word, maybe because the direct translation to spanish is not very much a problem, it's a bad-word but absolutely common, or maybe because we hear the F word aaaaaaall the time in aaaaaall the anglo media/shows etc. If any other non-native english speaker wants to share their point I'm curious about, I think to be offended by the f-word is stupid, as for me is not that deep I guess.

matthewbreen1951: There are a few people saying that the "F Bomb" refers to a derogatory word for gay people, but uh

I've never heard that word referred to as a "F Bomb". If it were that, I'd expect OP to be called out on homophobia, and PJ would have called him out for violating those community guidelines.

TheDragonOfWhi: I always think in situations like this the conduct of the person in question should be released. If they are happy to post their side on social media, the company should then be free, and able to post the evidence of the band.

Thromash: Back in Vanilla when I was like 13, I called someone a C yoU Next Tuesday & got a warning. Only mark against my account however I am mentioning this because funny thing.

My email from Blizzard back then about the report. Actually showed me the exact message I sent that got me reported. So I knew why. Yet now days you don't get that.

shelleybarton4634: Best rundown cut off and then throw back yet

Also if I'd been drinking anything when Tali was reading back the forums stuff.. I would have needed to clean my keyboard, monitors, and walls. That was funny.

IteratorPlus: Never forget last year CEO of Microsoft said all their companies have to use 30% Ai in everything they do. It was on all major news networks.

TheLordDhaos: The whole discourse can be summarized thus:

Swearing happens in context. And twitter is where context goes to die.

luckmyst3r986: On to the gamers meltdown, leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeets meltdown!

Also I agree that swearing shouldn't get you banned in game but I also think people see "freedom of speech" and confuse it for "freedom of consequence". If you're a toxic dickhead calling people shit and saying other people are inferior to you then yes you deserve a ban.

But to say my piece on the whole blizzard CS thing, I believe people would be less toxic to them if it wasn't just full of chatbots being used as cheap labor so Blizz doesn't have to pay real people to monitor and talk to real people. I think some of the anger from this controversy actively stems from peoples distaste for ai assistance and their own personal experience or frustrating experience having to deal with AI CS.
