If you don’t report a post mods might not know. But you still have to follow the rules. Bully response, sure Jan. No seriously, I was saying, you were clearly breaking the rules. You could get reported and silenced. But sure play the victim.
You seemed to have forgotten you agreed to these rules.
Im sure he means his alt accounts agree with him.
Correct. The forum mods handle reports from ALL Blizzard forums. There are not many of them and they don’t sit around reading each thread looking for issues.
If it is not reported, often by multiple people, it won’t get mod attention.
Secondary, an ongoing bickering battle between willing participants is more likely to get it deleted, not suspensions - unless both are being really obnoxious then a few time outs might get handed out.
What you want their job to be, and what Blizzard defines it as, are two diff things. You want more active moderation where they sit here and read everything, make sure everyone says nice things all the time. It won’t happen.
If something breaks the rules and you want to have a mod consider it, please use the flags on the post. You have 5 per 24 hours.
After D3 I had zero hope of them releasing it any sooner than it did after announcement.
I never expected D4 before July 2023 at the earliest. Not because they put so much effort into quality control, but because they’re slow as hell. And not very bright overall.
I can’t wait either because if someone actually goes to a lawyer’s office and tells them that they want to sue Blizzard because someone said mean things to them on a forum, the lawyers will laugh right in their face. Does no-one learn this any more…

MC, with due respect, I have reported flagrant posts that violate the COC many times in the past and NOTHING has been done. Personal attacks are AGAINST the COC. This is clearly outlined in the COC. I have even raised a ticket on a flagged post that had the flag removed (obviously after a mod had “looked” at it) and that ticket was auto closed.
I don’t expect mods to hang around the forums reading threads etc. That’s what the flagging system is for. When the flagging system is NOT working, then there is an ISSUE. These are the worst online forums for trolls and personal attacks that I have ever used in near 25 years of being an active online member.
The law would not agree with you I’m afraid. Especially in my native Australia. Owners of any forums or online source are responsible for the posts of ANY of its users. As Blizzard has an ACN, it must legally abide by Australian law, at least if it wants to continue practicing business in Australia.

That would be proper for a corporate goon. These have no direct role in the game design whatsoever.
This lies solely at the hands/minds of the developers. Different role entirely and therefore different agenda but their impact is directly effected by the above.
IMO D4 is not shut down. I welcome RMT if it is incorporated in D4 and I firmly believe engagement of RMT will be entirely optional.
BTW, who is Jen and why was she critical in the development of D4? From what I’ve gathered, she left actiblizz willingly to take a role in WIGI (women-in-games-international) which from that very description is sexist to say the least.

Losing Jen tells me that D4 loses nothing but a sexist corporate goon.
Wut? You have evidence of this?
IMO she’s just doing something to save her own behind; to preserve her economic potential (i.e., she’s a ‘victim’ and not implicit in the behavior of the toxic corporate environment she was directly working in) and is trying to capitalize on the disaster for her own benefit). It says so in the article above that she received 1 million USD from the evil actiblizz to get this WIGI thing going. 
Yeah is a bit sad… never used to be this way, back in the day we had down to earth mvps and casual posters, but it was also reflective of the mods who trolled us and kept it lighthearted.
Now it is totally different, we got these people who take stuff ultra ultra serious, they will report 5 times a day, and any poster who show weakness gets abused, if they can’t abuse they’ll try their best to ignore… it really is so petty, I’m not sure even sure it could get more petty. Good news is, visit any other blizz form and it is much more relaxed, if you going to stick around on the d3 side best to keep low expectations…
As she stated, that you missed, is that it needs to be reported by multiple people. If you are the only one that reported it’s likely not going to do much.
I really only play D3. Never got into WOW, D2R is a joke of a game on console, I dislike StarCraft II (doesn’t even come close imho to the original StarCraft and Broodwars). But meh, I just find it ironic - someone posts an opinion here and gets hated upon cos they’re not the opinion of the “norm” and dare think or post something different from the mainstream thought. Name calling is against the COC and should be dealt with by the mods. I get it it, if the offending posts aren’t reported, I don’t expect mods to trawl through the forums to find said posts, but when they are reported, something should be done. If you don’t want to do the job (moderating) then don’t put your hand up or resign your mod post. I’ve been a channel op and IRCOP in the past (many years ago now) on IRC and I’m a mod on a particular forum that I’m a member of and when I see a flag post, even if only flagged by one user, I deal with it.
That’s like police ignoring a police complaint if only a single person lodges a complaint…it’s illogical and just lazy policing of the forums imho. No other forum that I participate in features such laziness in administration of said forum.
Well, people can abuse the system and report a particular persons posts every time they post anything. So it’s more of a community policing thing. If the community feels something is inappropriate, there will be multiple reports, then action will be taken. Comparing it to actual law enforcement isn’t a proper comparison.
Well, sure, for what they do in Australia they need to follow Australian law. Australian law does however not apply on an American site hosted on American soil run by an American company, and I’m quite certain any attempt to apply Australian Law in any other countrys jurisdiction would be dismissed with prejudice between laughing attacks.
It’s a huge problem here stemming from one small group, which strangely contains an MVP. I’d be sad to see the actual number of players they have run off for differing opinions.

Hahahahahahaha. Now that’s hilarious. I’m stealing this.
I stole it from the series Justified.
So you’re saying people who work customer service jobs are a******? good logic
I sure as hell would be, and I’m quite sure most of them would be if they could and keep their job.
