"Toxic Chat" Scam and Other WG Fails

Ectar:   Compliment? Not really. It's a common crutch for people to QQ at something they can't prove as in some round about way, it means they can't be the problem. I laughed if someone raged like that sure. But I would also rather I didn't see/hear it. Bear in mind I've been playing games like Halo 2 since it came out Xbox Live, we're talking over 12 years of hearing some of the biggest bullcrap excuses in the world.  10 years ago everyone had a headset on and worked together. Now rarely anyone has a headset and the youth of America would rather scream and you and tell you how many times they slept with your mother.   In World of Tanks, the fact the enemy can't talk to me, has zero impact on my in-game experience or gameplay. It's not about growing a thick skin or just ignoring it, people just shouldn't be [edited]in the first place. That's the problem. It's not the reactions of the people who get offended, it's the behavior of the people setting out to offend them in the first place.    I can totally get behind the fact that people saying "I'm offended by that" doesn't give them any power over others, but I strongly disagree that some people seem to think it's perfectly ok to deliberately set out to offend/wind up/flame bait others and act like it's totally normal behavior. The old "but I'm an [edited]" excuse is a pathetic one.   As I keep telling people who get a bad reaction from crude humor or a badly timed joke. - You have to know your audience.  

Ectar:   Well it's their game, their rules.  They have the metrics to back up their reasoning and it wouldn't have been a decision taken lightly. If you're looking at your chat abuse reports and *plucks number out of thin air* say 70% of chat complaints come from stuff said in all chat - How do you feel you should address that problem?   I mean if was never in from the start, people would only really ask for it just to say "Hi" to someone in the other team.  

Ectar:   I don't even. ​ So if you say; "are you a bot?" and they don't reply. They're a bot?  You're going to have to explain this one further.  What if they just don't want to reply, or don't speak English?
