You’re real determined to create some drama, huh?

Nobody respond to this guy. The forum will prevent him from double-posting and then the thread can die.

Drama? How? This is an issue. Not my fault that human rights doesn’t matter to you.

Congratulations. By necroing this thread on the Overwatch forums, you solved all human rights issues in the world :+1:

Oh I did? Do I get a gold star?

A better question I have is, Why do people get upset over the idea of Necroing a thread that talks about a serious issue?

Would it be more acceptable to start a new one? But then I’d just be hit with “There is already one talking about this”.

why though? if you don’t care? Don’t click on the thread. Kinda simple.

8246

i mean to be fair, this is an issue that almost everyone has moved on from, so bring it up again will cause confusion and unneeded strife

8247

Why the hell did you necro this thread, was there some purpose?

First it was Koalas on fire and now Covid that has put human rights on the backburner. If it wasn’t for Covid in particular this situation would still be getting decent exposure.

If this picked up again, Mods can see this, they obviously report back to devs as to which topics and such is going on. Community Reps do this alot on the most noteable ones.

We saw how the community initially reacted and Blizzard tried to walk back their decision. But this reality hasn’t changed for many over there. Yet I find it so strange that rather than going 'what are the updates on a issue we clearly cared about enough to talk about it". now its “omg why you necro?”. Like I don’t see that is a serious response to an ongoing issue.

Agreed. This whole year is goofy and now Murder Hornets. Yet if you dare bring up this subject. People get upset for some weird reason. Considering that they consider Corona over, over there. Reports have stated that the protests are more than likely going to pick up again. The government police are already prepping for it.

8251

You wouldn’t because there isn’t an active one. Also this topic has moved beyond the scope of the Overwatch forum and is now better discussed elsewhere.

I disagree. For many including myself felt even the CEO’s poor excuse for an apology did nothing to remedy the situation. They didn’t even try to right the wrong that they did. “We reduced this ban” thats it. No alloted money. Not reinstatement. I find it abhorant because someone’s life is still affected. What happens when this happens again? Repeat of the cycle because someone in this game got punished unfairly.

8253

They did decide not to take his prize money. Their bans have expired now. There is nothing left to do here on the Overwatch forums.

8254

Think the problem is that necroing isn’t allowed on the forums.

This is regardless of what that thread may be.

8255

Seems like such an odd rule. Oh well. Doesn’t kill to make another thread discussing this. No rules against that.

8256

Technically creating duplicate threads is against the CoC, but go for it.

8257

The rule about duplicate threads is if there is an active thread. If there isn’t, the rule about making a new thread instead of necro’ing trumps the duplicate thread rule.

However it would probably be removed for being off-topic, as all threads must have some kind of connection to Overwatch.
