Seems pretty self-explanatory to me, what's the issue? It's hardly the first time that a minor bug's popped up.

According to the crazy 2020 international press and media, blacklist sound too racist. Can we please rename this list to 'Potato bag' or 'Vegetable garden'? At least it doesn't sound racist, right?!

Cheers!

those in the backlist are cv coonts

and you are aware that putting players on the blacklist does NOT "protect" you from meeting them again?

@Klopirat  Ofc not but at least you know the weak spot in the enemy when you  start a game and see the blacklisted ones or whom to report again..

Had this once in another game I played. Cleared the list, realised 95% of those players were long gone. No great problem.

So these recent "FPS-drop"-threads are snowflake-o-meters then?

No.

Those are "WG is unable to code a game feature properly" threads.

Well, the two don't necessarily exclude one another. You can have an unintended snoflake-o-meter as a result of WG failing to implement the advanced feature of a blackilst in a way safe for the game's performance.

Seems I'm in the clear here, as - to my knowledge - my "Blacklist" contains a maximum of maybe five people or so... considering how often I see names I know in the battles, putting anyone on some kind of blacklist seems utterly needless for my. I probably never meet them anywhen again anyway... and even if I would chances would so much time would have passed that neither me nor him would each other anyway... :cap_cool:

Their only solution is to clear your blacklist which I'm not going to do 

It doesn't work anyway in the way a blacklist is supposed to work. The only good thing about it is to add someone in a battle or at the result screen of a battle if you want to message this person later. It's much faster to click the name and send a message, then remove them from the list again in port than to use the equally useless ingame search that often doesn't find players even if you spell out the entire name correctly. The whole chat/message/list system in WoWs is horsecrap and needs a proper overhaul. Same goes for the chat bans. I'll never understand why battle chat bans also ban you from writing in port to people on your friends list or in clan chat. The manually applied chat bans do exactly this, they only ban you from the battle chat, all other chats are fine.

I play wows vanilla since day one, but if there is any mod that would allow me to put a mark on certain players I would happily clear my blacklist as it became a bit annoying with those freezes.

Seems like someone has a use for their blacklist no sane Dev would have considered.

Same, I'd like to be able to mark players with different icons. Until then,  I'm keeping my list, which is way long. Freezes and all, don't care.

What does the blacklist do?

 

(from time to time some players a spamming the battle chat with quick messages, there i rightclick on them and "block messages from player". But i guess this is only valid for the current battle and has nothing to do with blacklist, or?)

How can I clear my blacklist? Can't locate it anywhere...

Hi Captain, 

The easiest way is probably open a ticket with our Custumer Service, they will clear your blacklist as soon as they can 😊

I did it manually. One by one.

Took me around 15 minutes.

Only 15 minutes!??

Must've been one heck of a short blacklist :Smile_hiding:

I did this too, around 60% of them weren't playing. Although if someone has more than 100 accounts blacklisted.... That'll take a lot of time to check them all. I had around 50 ones now around 20 something.
