Erotic Role-Play Police to Patrol World of Warcraft

I don't see the problem! I mean sure the fact that they're strippers etc is "bad" but was it not the "sons" fault for going on that server and then not leaving, and nothing bad really happens does it?!
Meh i'm sure they'll move their "activities" else where.

Blizzard could solve this a bit easier by simply making a new set of underpants and bras that were less revealing (like those found in KOTOR 1 on Mission Vao for example were perfect) and would as such at least properly mitigate these sorts of complaints or problems by saying they did all they could.
But oh wait...that's right...they won't do that, not after modelling Night Elves and such as if they had one hand down their pants the whole time. So instead their PR department has to have the 'cybor police' on the job rather than things like roleplayer harrassment or such that might be far more common or important.
I really hope we hear more on this topic, just to see how often people will forget the #1 rule that the internet as a whole has more than enough porn to expose any kid to it inadvertently or by accident. And things like cybering in WoW, in existance or not, will not change that level of exposure by much in the end.

True, but kids are sponges for new info. And when everyone in the room is cursing and acting racist then that kid might start learning a few dozen curse words and think that being a jerk is cool. That kind of behavior is hard to change once a kid learned it.ultimateownage said:
What constitutes an "unsolicited whisper"? Does this expand to "oh, we're checking all whispers, just in case"?
I don't play any more, but I want to know.

Hope they check out the Blood Elf starting area too. And the Deeprun Tram.
I came across a few on my non-RP realm back when I played. Only one was "publicly" doing so via the emote function, the rest were private but judging by how the characters were positioned, I'd say it was pretty clear what was going on.

One would assume it's just that - a naughty whisper that was unasked for, one which was unsolicited, at which point the report will go out and Blizzard's crack Erotic Role-Play Police saddle up and go to work.Schlagwerk said:
Why don't they just create a digital bouncer for that particular bar and keep out all users under 18? Seems simple enough to me.
But then again, this is why I don't go on MMOs. If me and my freinds wanted to have a nudist stripper party, we'd have a nudist stripper party - no kids allowed. "God" or something isn't going to come down from the sky and shut the thing down.
Why can't MMOs be more libertarian? You create the world, let the players control the history. Who gives a shit what they do with it? As a matter of fact, the only thing Blizzard should be doing here is patrolling for illegal downloaders who walking into the World without paying. Beyond that, let them do what they want. If they hack the game to have a bazooka, yet them have a bazooka. Let things unfold as they will.

So true.bobby1361 said:
It's double standards. Yes, there's a lot of rude content in places like Goldshire, but... How is it different to the rest of the game? Have you heard some of the flirt and silly emotes? I'm not condoning what public eRPers do, but this is wrong on so many levels. Firstly, WoW is what, a T/12+? Anyone who's "legal" to play it (for want of a better term) wouldn't be puzzled by half of what goes on. Secondly, Blizzard can't be everywhere at once. Thirdly, this stuff's been going on since WoW started (Probably. I started 2-3 years ago and it's always been like that), so why would Blizzard start cracking down now?
I went there once back during burning crusade when my server was done for a rolling restart, everyone had heard of it, but I'd never believed it... place was freaking scary, vampire blood-letting (and there aren't even vampires in WoW!) graphic cyber sex in public chat is not something for the faint of heart... I logged off that server right quick...
Oh my God, too awesome. I mena honestly I seen this all the time on my server, it is either that or people saying the anal (insert ability). The second one is quite annoying, but still I would have just told the kid to not go there anymore, regardless if it is for a quest or not.
Now ALL they need is a bunch of mods that go beyond the level 80 cap who can kill the gnakers. I know that by entering a PvP server, you agree that you want a PvP experiance, but I think a 5 man party of level 80s attacking say... the sunstrider isle (level 1-9 tops) is bloody rediculous...
I was wondering more of what heuristic they would use to determine if, indeed, the whisper was unsolicited and offensive. It would have to be finely tuned to determine if it was happening in real time. That could be tricky, and easily overstep its bounds, shooting off automatic reports without need. It would create a 'crying wolf' scenario.Amnestic said:
I'm sure all communication is logged somewhere, so it's probably a moot point in the long run. :shrug:
