The New Chat Restriction in The Feast

[Gumbercules]

The amount of people getting reported must have been huge to implement this. I don't know how punishment is handled but it hasn't been enough to deter the general masses.The biggest thing for me, is this is probably the easiest fix. The option to disable individual players might have been more work. Disbaled chat and an icon of shame (like the new player leaf) seems more fitting to me.

From what I can gather, its not even about "harassment reports" least not in a "we had so many we will do this" Apparently was more of the harassment reports making them go through chat logs and seeing it used for macro'd commands and toxicity... hence why i think it might still let you use macros and all auto translate. I could be wrong though :P

for f*** sake its like some people are 12 years old here and cant social interact with other human beings even through the internet

Well, if people could just remain civil and act like mature adults, SE wouldn't even have considered something like chat restriction in the first place. They did that because far too many people for their liking could not and they felt the amount of effort required to police these people disproportionate.

They most likely will not allow macros, because you could just write your nasties into those. At the very best, they'd allow full auto-translate macros, but that would require a check I doubt they'd program extra.

Im under the impression macroing insults can fall into spam harassment way easier than something just typed out though, still my only real pov for "extreme" cases of a**holery is wow and if we use that as an example then you would be right nothing is done to spam insulting there from what i can tell.
