The Silence Penalty

[Dumbledoremd]

1 of the new changes coming to WoW in the legion pre patch is the silence penalty basically if a player is reported multiple times for spam or abuse will receive an account wide silence penalty that limits the way players can chat with other players

Could square introduce a similar system to FFXIV if an rmt bot spaming tells or standing next to the marketboard spaming in /say is reported multiple times they are then restricted and cannot talk to any player untill investigated by square it could be a solution to the problem of rmt what do you think? I will leave a link below.

I'm all for it myself. Of course there may be the odd set of trolls who will report just for the laughs but I would assume if GMs checked it out and see the player never did anything worth reporting the people reporting would be in trouble then.

The RMT people will just create a new account and spam players again.

I am onboard with anything that can help stop or reduce spam from these people though. It is not a bad idea.

I believe they said it would be account wide silence. but the RMT's will keep going regardless.

A solution for this was posted many times already though. If you can only report people that send tells to you and not just random people, a person that gets reported would have to be sending tells to many people, and one that does that is most likely worth a "silence" anyhow...
And yes, GMs can still quickly check those that have been reported, shouldn't take more than one look to see what the tells that have been reported said.

They did say on the Wow post that they would investigate before handing out the Silence Penalty.

id be ok either way restrict the player untill a gm has investigated looked at logs ect if a player is cleared then lift the penalty but they maybe too late if they investigated 1st the account maybe deleted by the rmt's

I believe there was something similar already planned for ffxiv in an upcoming patch. I'm not sure where the info on it was posted however so I have no source to provide, just my shoddy memory. *hands out grain of salt packets*

Yoshi-p already stated in the E3 live letter that (not account wide) that they working on system that if person gets reported enough times they will get sent to GM jail automatically.

Poor, poor MrHappy and Mizzteq. That's going to be a rough system for them day one.
