Yeah, I was just coming to post that. In some circles (koff koff), people are saying OMG IT WILL MAKE THE GAME UNPLAYABLE! but like... I dunno... don't be a douchebag in chat and it won't affect you?
From the comments...
Will be interesting to see if we can get the recruiters of rival guilds chat banned. I know we're gonna try it, haha.
It says they review the report.

I wonder if they'll hand out penalties for mass fraudulent reporting's by a Guild?
EDIT:
Amazing. Blizzard do something good for the game to make it a nicer place and first thing some people think of is how to abuse it to serve their own needs. Some selfish cunts play this game, I swear.
" Depending on the type of report, players who are found to be abusive in chat or engage in inappropriate chat behaviors may be silenced from engaging in certain ways within the game."
Spamming. 24 hour ban. Get friends from other guilds to make reports so it doesn't look like an attack. Most of us have played on this server since Vanilla/TBC, so the forces we could throw at people would be pretty difficult to ignore.
PS, this
Illidan questchain
will, after investigation, receive an account-wide silence penalty.
There's no chance they let you guys silence someone for advertising guild shit. It's more likely that you guys get actioned for clogging the system up with bullshit, in fact.
I understand. I'm just surprised a game with so much customization options lacks options for TVs. I'll definitely take your advice, though. I'll eventually have a desk again, but not until I move into an apartment or something.
So if 150 people report someone for hitting a guild recruitment macro every 2 minutes, you think we're more likely to see an infraction than they are? I doubt it.
I don't.
Whatever the case, this is going to be abused to hell and back.
Would I like to see less of the clueless right wing babble in trade? Absolutely. Can I live without people calling each other retards in public chat? Of course. Do I think this system will work? Sometimes...

After a year off I set myself these goals for before Legion:
Find the Voidtalon - Done
Get another two or more characters to 100 - Done
Get Draenor flying - Done
Get all Draenor rep mounts - all but Saberstalkers done, going to farm teeth next expansion.
Get the last Zandalari Warbringer mount I need - Done
Fish up the riding turtle - Done (took a fair bit of sanity with it...)
Get Nat Pagle to exalted/Best Friend - with today's dailies done I'll just need four lunkers
Get the legendary ring - one more HFC run should do it.
The fishing parts have absolutely destroyed me, but I'm really pleased with my progress,

Every 2 minutes isn't really spamming. If they review it and that's what was reported they'll probably ignore it.
They actually do have humans reviewing reports
How is it going to be abused to hell and back? Just because people are sending reports doesn't mean any action is being taken against the account. Someone is going to investigate it on the other end and decide whether or not its a violation. And I agree with the above, if people are trying to abuse the system then it would be in Blizzard's best interest to go after them instead.
Nice getting back, but get reminded of some of the worse parts...I know this isn't just a "WoW" issue, but a social issue of internet anonymity, but the frequency of seeing "n*gger" and *f*g" thrown around at times is infuriating.
Need to find a guild that doesn't condone that garbage...the worse part is it appears to be mostly prevalent in the pvp scene which is the part I enjoy the most about this game.

Boosted a Fire mage before the changes go live, and even on live I just love its playstyle; even though, I'm really squishy, but I can deals the dmg even at low crit and ilevel right now. Fire mage in Legion is even better, can't wait to play it on the PTR later to check it out.
PvP boxes were better during the event, healing an Ashran group would be pretty effective I imagine if you can avoid getting farmed.
Add me too, Ashodin#1707

Account-wide chat ban is kinda scary. I mean yeah some people will be assholes, but I just fear it might be abused.
Because as of late some of my guild has been under report attack on the main forums, simply for recruiting. Mostly our main recruiter/guild administrator who happens to be female. And she's apparently been harassed in the past by some WoW people as well. The ticket responses have been very robotic/canned from what I've heard.

It's about time they added MOBA style communication penalties to toxic communication reports. Now they just have to implement them properly, i.e. don't let a multi-boxer abuse them. If they do this right, it's going to be great. Something needs to change about the global chat channels.
*Places gold cap on* Hopefully anyone who uses trade for anything other than trading can be reported.

They use this system in HotS and have done a great job with it. Anytime someone claims the system was abused on the forums usually have their chatlogs thrown back at them from the match they were "falsely" accused/reported for.

I don't think you'll see that world quest this week again, is the thing.
Is there a video/article somewhere that summarises everything that is new/changed in legion? I've been an on and off casual player for a few years...last time (around 5 months or so ago i stopped playing) i managed to get a character to about level 85 or so but then stopped so want to know whats coming if i choose to start playing again.
(the levelling experience was horrible from about level 60 or so as you burn through zones so quickly its difficult to know whats going on storywise as you out level the zone well before you do all the quests)

Haha, I'll have to go looking through some of those threads.
Can you get reported for typing in /g? I'm not at my PC to check, and I'm not sure off the top of my head.

I need a bit of clarification on the pre-patch and what happens with it up to Legion's launch. Will the world events start with the pre-patch or do they begin at a later date? And will all events allow gear to be collected to get ready for Legion? I'm trying to figure out if Tanaan is worth messing with anymore for gear.

Spartan UI has a pretty large toggle for the art work it uses for the UI. Might be worth checking out.

I've had people suspended from the game for mildly annoying me by doing little more than reporting them, with no evidence, with just the word "griefing". For one of those suspension, a blue responded to me in game asking for proof and I pointed out that I'm not required to provide proof, just the report and closed the chat window.
Don't assume them reviewing anything means something.

Today I did two beta dungeons, Eye of Azshara and Halls of Valor. Both were quite fun, though I honestly think they might be the easiest dungeons have ever been. I was initially a bit worried they were mandatory during the levelling process in this expansion, but it seems they lowered the difficulty even more to account for that.
I mean, I don't want hardcore Mythic+15 dungeons during levelling or anything, but both times people were able to completely ignore boss mechanics and come out unscathed. I felt a bit silly being the only one running away from an explosion of light, for example, when everyone else was just fine taking the hit.

What would you say is the best way to do this? I've afk camped while watching TV, Server hopped like a Madman at spawn points on server reset, and done the same for hours outside of server resets to see if I get lucky.
Nothing so far
. Is it just repeating the above methods and luck?

Hmm. I only have one Ally character and I'm not very good with the class. Need to get the ilevel up....

Blizzard has a pretty clear set of guidelines:
Sorry Anal [Rupture], etc. fans but according to the guidelines spamming that shit in trade chat is a reportable offence. Albeit a minor one.
They're using the same approach and scaling penalty for toxic communication reports from Heroes of the Storm, they record chat logs in game. I don't think there's been many, if any, false positives with HotS mutings for toxic assholes.

Do dungeons feel rewarding while leveling? I never do WoD dungeons until 100 because the XP per kill is shit and I don't feel the completion bonus is better than just questing instead of waiting for a queue. (Unless this has changed since the last time I did one.)
Bleah, I want to do all the optional bosses in Brawler's Guild but one of them drops from Darkmoon Faire prizes and that just ended last weekend. I guess I'll have to leave that one unchecked until it rolls around next month. Maybe I'll have my team of moths ready to kill Doopy by then.
Well normal dungeons are tuned so people who can barely handle a 3 button rotation and not move out of fire can easily complete them. There are actually human beings that can't get silver proving grounds in WoD, that's what normal is for.
Also, bravo to blizz for the silencing mechanics for players, hope it works out. Will this make the really overpopulated servers trade chat be readable? I transferred off of mal'ganis because of that, have to repeat everything you say 15 times otherwise you wouldn't notice it.

Brawler's Guild is closing once the next patch drops for a while and that's more than likely going to be before the next Darkmoon Faire, so you won't be able to fight that optional boss. Perhaps the item will still drop and you can still go into the Brawler's Guild are and turn it in, though.
Good...it was never really funny to begin with. Hopefully this program works out, I will gladly be wearing out my report abuse function for the racial and homophobic slurs.
Yes the next DMF is in August, so if they are taking down Brawler's Guild I guess I'll miss out on that achievement.

It's really doubtful the pre-patch is going to be the same day as the end of a PVP season. And we normally get a weeks advance warning anyway.
Why is it doubtful? Happened for 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0 according to http://wow.gamepedia.com/PvP_season
