This post is attacking GMs for banning a player. The first post is a lengthy rant by that player which everyone has objected too and don't want to see.

You will notice in the upper right corner of all responses a score and vote. When people vote [-] negative the score drops and at some point when it's low enough the posting is replaced by a blue link that says 'Below threshold'.

The original post is at the top of the page, Below threshold, with a score of -26.1 at this time. Click on it and you will see the post. I hope that answers your question.





I am slightly amused by the number of offended people on this game. Ms. manners would be proud. I know there is a greater number of easily offended people than rude people and that WOW is doing this to increase revenues. They'll lose a rude player to gain a family.

It's ironic though, the name of the game is WORLD of WARCRAFT.
I mean think about it. Making a death threat on a game where you are constantly being killed anyway, laughable. A father wanting to teach his son good moral values on WOW, sad.

You're sense of proportion is funny. It's a game, stop being so serious. Learn to ignore. Complainers bother me just as much as flamers. All of you need to settle down and concentrate on the task at hand, WARFARE! Oh and for the record i hope to kill each and everyone of you!    ;) lol
(not IRL - that would be sad)  :(

As I've mentioned elsewhere, World of Warcraft itself may be just a game, but because it is a massive multiplayer game where hundreds of thousands of other players play on servers at any given time, the game stops being 'just a game' at that point. 

The game is only just a game on the elements that you play - dressing your toon, levelling, getting items, rep, etc.  However, it stops being 'just a game' when other people are involved with their own personalities and such.

It isn't the game itself that people are being serious about.  It's the people who interact through the game with other players that people are serious about.  Why do you think there are brawls at sports events amongst spectators at times?  The same idea applies here.

Regardless, like in my first post, all anyone could do to stop someone else from harassing them is simply to put them on ignore.  That would solve a lot of unnecessary problems. 

To skolnik34: I don't think you really understand that age and mental maturity do not necessarily mean the same thing.  A 15 year old can be more mature and intelligent than a 40 year old, but a 40 year old can also be more mature and intelligent than a 15 year old.  It's like comparing a rocket scientist with a farmer - different knowledge, different upbringing, and different levels of maturity.

For example, you said "and we all know some of the stupidest comments came from adults rather than the children" - that shows you lack consideration in terms of how an individual can be pertaining to many things in a person's life from the time they were born all the way leading up to being an adult, etc.  I am guessing you are between age 25 to 35 - just a wild guess, but I am also guessing you're not a Chief Executive Officer of a fortune 500 company or an engineer from NASA? 

You see, intelligence does not make up a person's maturity.  I'm sure you have your own set of ethics and your personal way of handling things.  Obviously, the 'sheer ignorance' is shared by all on varying levels - including myself.
