I hope you guys are doing well and will have the D4 blog and season 24 patch notes up soon. 
- Take care and do not let some of the people on the forum get under your skin.

CM´s as well as our unknown Mods are still here, doing well and are watching 
Just the other Day in the Musik-Thread (why did you deleated your posts? the Songs where great !), they enganged and altered the entrance-post, due to my faul mouth.
They are always watching ⌠but arn´t allowed to engange with us, if not needed. And when, its always over the CM as ambassador.

These days the streamers consolidate feedback and it is much easier to deal with them than collect individual feedback on this forum. They also like reddit and twitter and other sources of controlled feedback.
So this forum is more for venting and occasional mass protest like with the GOD nerf. Pretty dull these days since this patch didnât incentivize season play with OP buffs.
When the CMs donât say anything, they become LCMs⌠
Lurking Community ManagersâŚ
A good thing, no doubt. Itâs good to have a taste of what your character or team can do by themselves. 
It depends on the Question, not the Media, why and when they respond 
If you would post something here, they would aswer as well and not only on Reddit.
One of them are responding to Immortal thread few days ago though.
So I guess they are still alive. They are rather active at twitter though.
I hope its soon too.
Perhaps the forces of evil got to them, meaning it is up to us to find and save them.
Just a possibility⌠lolâŚ
I donât think the Diablo Twitter is handled by our CMs directly. I think they have a Social Media person doing that.
Our CMs are alive though. They are especially working on feedback from the current Diablo Immortal test that is going on, prepping for the next D3 season PTR, working through whatever D2R projects they are preparing for, etc. Oh, and the next installment of the D4 update blog is due soonish.
Let the betting begin!

As you see, three CMs can ignore the forum three times better that the one we had before.

Where do you get this from? You do realise, they might just have recieved a report from others and checked it out?
Sure.
They don´t follow proactivly the Discussions and wont read everything.
But there are many, who do read in the Forum on theyr own.
No one knows what activity the blue ones do. All we know is, we got represented by a couple not long ago and there has not been word since really. This lacking of communication, I hope it does not carry over to D4
Just because you dont know it, it doesn´t mean that no one lnows it.
The Forum´s are just a tiny Fraction of theyr Work.
The forum is where the commercials are at. It is where you reach out and is being heard by the players. It is to keep your business alive.
Do you know what they do? Anyone else wanna chip in? No? Oh okay.
It might have been the main communications stream 20 years ago, but it is not anymore. Players have diversified to Social Media, Twitch, YouTube, Discord, etc.
Marketing and communications campaigns utilize multiple means of communications as a result - because that is where most of the players are. Of course, the most effective way to get eyes on something is the Launcher that everyone has to use!
For Blizzard, they seem to view the forums as a means for players to talk about the game with other players. They do review that feedback and include it in their reports.
They donât consider forums the main source for News though. That is usually done as a Blog post on the main page, then linked to multiple viewing sites.
Most of what CMs do is not easily visible to us. Writing news blogs, jumping through approvals and publishing hoops, working on marketing/player engagement campaigns, setting up media engagements, working with Influencers, collecting tons of feedback from all the various media sites, communcating that in written and verbal forms etc.
Here is an opening for CM for SEA that gives some ideas of what they do.
