I find it is better to take the high road and try to avoid responding in kind when insults are made against me. I find it is far more compelling to simply keep to the facts. If I say: “Your claim is factually inaccurate” and provide proof, that is much better that calling someone a liar.
I do have lots of posts on the forum. That is fact. My high post count is due to a multitude of factors including I read many posts on this forum and have fact checked many posts that contain inaccurate information.
For this thread:
There was a claim that posts and/or threads are deleted in an automated process that does not involve review by a Blizzard forum moderator/community manager. That is inaccurate. How do I know? First Blizzard has stated that. Of course, some might argue that Blizzard is just saying that to save face and that they really do not do that. However, if one knows how the forum software works, one can verify Blizzard is telling the truth.
Specifically, the next time you see a post that is flagged into hidden (this is an automated process based on the number of community flags) that is outrageous where you know it will be deleted, keep an eye on that post and the following link.
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/d3/g/trust_level_3?order=added_at
Using that provided link, you will see that when that post is deleted, there always will be a concurrent (i.e. seen) forum moderator or community manager who was in fact the one who reviewed the post and determined that its deletion was in order.
That link shows forum members who are Trust Level 3. This is the highest trust level that any forum member can earn that is not an MVP. I have been continuously Trust level 3 since August 26, 2019. That means I have never been suspended from this forum. If one has been forum suspended, they lose TL3. It used to be, one would never be able to regain TL3; however, one of the forum updates has made it so a previously banned forum member can regain TL3 if they have good behavior. When TL3 is regranted, it has the more recent added date.
Next, there was the claim that mass flagging of players with alt accounts can lead to a post/thread being deleted. First, there is proof that Blizzard reviews these types of posts before deciding on a potential forum sanction. Moreover, false flagging and using a bunch of alts to flag the same post violates the forum rules and can lead to forum sanctions. I think some forum members do not know that Blizzard keeps track of the IP address we login as well as our physical location. You can see this if you look at your own json file.
My json file will show you very little information since I have for privacy reasons have a hidden forum profile.

If I look at my own json file in that link, it has lots of information. You can see for yourself by replacing my battletag with yours in the address. If you look at someone else’s forum profile that is not hidden, you will see a smidgen less information (No IP address and no physical location). The reason that I bring this up, is Blizzard knows if alts were used to mass flag an account thereby violating forum rules.
Tangentially connected to this is false accusations of alts. As I stated and everyone can see, I have made many posts on this forum. My writing style is distinctive. I am not Meteorblade who lives in Europe and plays on the EU server. I am not Bravata. I play on the America Region server, consistent with where I live.
In the old cheatting megathread that lasted for a long time before its 404, it was interesting to see who posted in that thread. A significant number of accounts were later banned by Blizzard for cheating. This was clear since one could cross-reference forum poster battletags with the leaderboards to see that the account was ultimately banned by Blizzard. With a little more digging, some of these account were self-identified alt accounts by the actual person with the multiple accounts.
Since Blizzard knows about alt accounts (IP address, physical location, etc…), I have argued in the context of this thread that repeat offender cheaters should have all their alt accounts banned
