How is it okay for people who have done nothing wrong to be punished? Or what if a group of assholes began to mass report an individual, they could get him repeatedly silenced for doing nothing wrong because it's an automated system.

This system is clearly flawed and absolutely awful in its current state.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

Once again, volume means that such a system can never practically be manually handled. There will always be a cut-off below which reactions are automated.

I don't think people would argue that it's flawed, nor that people that did nothing wrong should be punished. But I think the point is, is the silence "punishment" so bad that it would actively interfere with a raid or other group activity, presuming everyone is using some form of third party voice chat...?

People seem to be up in arms about the whole thing, and it's somewhat justified, but is it actually destroying players' experiences?

Like, I just want to make sure that people are upset about the fact that Blizz was misleading about the system ("it's checked/reviewed before the ban", obviously not), rather than innocent people's game time being "wasted" by group reports.

Silence won't really affect guild things short term

It seems to be at least semi replacing automatic temp ban punishments, which were far worse and absolutely did affect all game activity.

Blizzard said multiple times that it wouldn't be an automated system though, and it is.. so why lie? They could have said that they were changing the automatic temp ban punishments to automatic silences after player gets reported X amount of times and it would have been a good thing and good PR.

They could also explain some kind of system for review of false punishments. Since the silence duration doubles every time, this could quickly result in innocents being silenced for weeks to months which WOULD ruin their game. There obviously has to be some kind of review system.

Some people in the team I raided with did not speak on microphones. They were required to be in Vent/TS/mumble to listen but it was not required to talk. In general we only had like ~15-20% of the raid actively talking through out the raid so it would be rather annoying if someone who usually types is silenced for something like a mass of people reporting them for saying 'hi' or the like.

@Redox: The video is pretty self explanatory but if you won't watch it this is part of the problem as to why people don't seem to care. You think the punishment is fine, even though the system is abusable. And you may never have to experience it but there are people that do and this video proves it and is trying to show people that Blizzard doesn't have the system they say they do. I don't think someone should be silenced if they are getting mass reported by other people for pure abuse. If they are breaking the rules and saying offensive things in chat then fine, but to be mass reported for anything, even as little as 'hi', and being silenced for it is pretty bad on Blizzard's part.

To prevent abuse. If they say its automatic and player reports will not be checked it will be abused much more obviously.

Silenced players can talk in raids and groups and to friends. And reply to whispers from anyone. If I was silenced I might not even notice because its rather rare that I talk to random people. In any case I would not care at all if I was "punished" like that, no matter if justified or not. This is mostly about spam in trade / general chat. Which is why I feel this "outrage" is rather silly.

I feel like people are just up in arms about this because Blizzard made the blue post about the silence penalty

Asmongold's video even shows automated squelch has existed for 5+ years and it only now becomes an epidemic "fuck blizzard how dare you treat me this way mob justice" because Blizzard made its existence public

Silence penalty rather than banning people is a good thing, lieing about having humans reviewing the silence and not having any way to appeal automatic punishments are the 1000% bad things.

These go hand in hand because you wouldn't need an appeals process if the punishment was human reviewed as they said it was.

But as others have said, it doesn't affect party or raid chat. Never did. So even if you can't voice chat it doesn't affect your ability to communicate when it actually matters, in a raid or what not.

It really feels like people bitching for the sake of bitching. I can't imagine many scenarios where it actively hurts a player's ability to do what they need to do in-game. I have no idea why Blizz decided to lie about the fact that it's fully automated or whatever, that's a total laugh and I can understand why people would call them out on that, but it's quite clear at this point that they're getting an earful about it so they'll bend at some point and clarify the whole thing I'm sure. Either way it's a strange thing for what feels like a serious fraction of the community to be totally up in arms and crusading about.

The silence duration doubles every time so it'll turn into a month of disabled chats (aside from inside personally made groups) quite quickly if it gets out of hand.

It disables chats in all instances that you queue into, just not groups that you manually make and then walk into the instance with.

It is unlikely the higher punishments are not reviewed. The normal situation these systems work is that low level punishment is automated while higher level is checked, because the volume of high level punishment is low enough to allow checking.
