	Yeah, I did see that Blizzard's policy is to only allow avatars of different genders to marry, no matter what the sex of the users are. That seems messed up... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Blizzard's game, Blizzard's rules. If you're offended by the rules, then don't play the game. There are plenty of other MMORPGs out there and nobody is forcing you to play WoW. There's no controversy at all here. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	irrevilent 2006-02-05 12:10 am UTC (link)
	It's unfortunate but you're right, it should be up to Bilzzard to decide on the issue. Still doesn't make it the right choice for them to make. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Blizzard made a crappy decision here, and they're probably going to lose quite a few customers because of it. Oddly enough, I imagine had they decided the other way, they could have actually gained more subscribers from the GLBT community. They made a crappy decision, and on top of that the reasoning they gave us for the decision is complete bullshit. (Reply to this)

	I agree that there is a major problem with this cartoon. It is this: People need to leave Rogues alone! We don't need any more nerfing. (Reply to this)

	I will admit that I am a WoW noob, so here's the question: What, exactly, is "nerfing"? (Reply to this) (Thread)

Nerfing

daislite
2006-02-05 05:37 am UTC (link)

That's the general term for when a character class or job (knight, paladin, shaman, female imitator, whatever), or a skill within those classes (MAGIC MISSILE), has it's usefulness notably impacted, generally via a game update/patch.

So: "Blizzard just rolled out version 58s.4wx8e.033E and they totally nerfed Heal Light Papercuts! Clerics are worthless now! Fucking assholes I am cancelling my account!"

The use of inappropriate and offensive language in general, or against another player is not allowed. We reserve the right to evaluate each incident on a case by case basis and take action as necessary. To help prevent the harassment of other players, we have implemented an array of in-game tools that players can use to help protect themselves from such abuse.

* The Ignore command: By typing /ignore (character name) the player will no longer hear any form of standard chat from the character name being ignored.

# The Profanity Filter: By default, all inappropriate words in our profanity database will be filtered. They will appear on screen as jumbled characters. Example: &*@#$

---Using any word that is blocked by the profanity filter can get you banned or suspended - please see my post above for other info.
