The forum software is called Discourse and, for some reason, it does not have the Ignore function. Blizzard is aware of that and I think they have looked into getting that added. I donât know what the current status of the issue is though.
As for moderators vs trolls - the Mods are a team who cover every single Blizzard game, not specifically one title. They react to reports and review them vs the code of conduct. Trolls can be very good at skirting that grey line between causing drama and still following the rules. The old forum had the option to comment when reporting so you could point out a pattern of behavior to a mod. The new forums donât
I had only one person on Ignore on the old forums. One. I do agree that it really is a useful feature though. There are some people who are just not worth even reading. Being able to ignore them limits drama.
Oh, I know. That is why I specifically said I was not asking you to nameâŠ
But I was curious⊠There were a lot of âeligible candidatesâ on the old forums, and you have very thick skin (âtroll armourâ)⊠So it just kind of begged the questionâŠwhich oneâŠwas sooooo out of line.
So yea, wasnât laying a trapâletâs not have curiousity kill any cats (cheetahs) todayâŠ
The minimum quantity is 10 replies. In terms of quality, the main thing for TL3 is to obey the CoC in Blizzards eyes and never be suspended. It is not a high bar until you get to the 100 day rolling average requirements. As Meteorblade noted , these are reading/viewing 500 topics and 20,000 posts which is quite high and in EU forum impossible.
The second point is about quality. Is it quality from your viewpoint, Blizzardâs viewpoint, or the forum as aa whole? Should we set the requirement to likes to make it a populairity contest? Is receipt of 500 likes enough?
It is my opinion that the TL3 requirements should be lower for the items that are 100 day rolling averages, most notably the number of topics/posts viewed.
The trust levels encourage scrolling through threads without reading just to unlock the ability to make links to domains that should already be in the TL2 trusted site list.
Were you standing in front of a mirror when you typed that? Iâm perfectly capable of having a civil, rational conversation and a laugh with anyone.
Your entire post history (old and new) consists of you antagonizing & shooting people down every single time.
Pots & kettles, stones & glass houses, you know how it goes.
You claim it would be nice to be able to mute, yet you call me a whiner for requesting that same feature you would want. Itâs called âself-pwningâ.
So yep, my bulbâs brightness is fine, unlike yours.
Also canât help but after seeing the two people who âlikedâ your not-very-bright post. GRhornytoad and Steve, two of the most-likely-to-be-muted people on pretty much everyoneâs list.
Fun fact: Even when there was ignore, none of the biggest fanboys of D3 seemed to ignore me. Pretty funny you suggest a feature that you yourself would likely not utilize. You just canât help yourself.
Quite hilarious all this whining about bad faith and grey areas. Sounds like many feel that anything negative is automatically in bad faith even if it might be an honest opinion. In reality this is trying to defend a phoney right not to be offended in suggesting that a fanboy safe space be constructed.
Even when the old forums had an ignore function I never used it because Iâd much rather judge posts on their content than on who wrote them. Besides, if someoneâs genuinely being offensive, Iâd rather they get seen, reported and permanently removed than covering it up.
and that is what i ask for years now, including his posts ofc.
-for sure, an OP himself must be able to protect his own thread this way.
-he doesnât have to âreactâ to improper posts, where his reaction can be flagged by the clickbaitersâŠ
yes, but only for the disliker.
-noone should be able to make a poster unseen for others.
no, thatâs the big mistake: who claims if a post is valid. about 5-10 people on the forum, it seems. because those 5-10 are always the same that popup instantly in my threads and flag it to deletion if i keep posting, or they get it deleted anyway by breaking this CoC on-TOPIC off-OP rule:
âPlease remember to be kind and courteous on the forums.â
-i got informed that the reason for deletion doesnât have to be the OP at all.
