Let’s face it - this forum is easily triggered. Satire posts are always viewed as spam and harrassment, jokes are usually shut down because ‘it’s a serious topic’, and people who just want to have a good laugh are literally trolled by people calling them trollers. It’s not fun.
So how about we get a seperate forum section for humour? Clearly the General Discussion section can’t handle jokes and the people that just want to have a casual laugh can’t do that without people getting offended. For example - that Mercy post that people memed? The OP was fine with that. And yet all of those posts have been marked for spam and harrassment and it’s just not fair. Silencing people for having a little joke - even if it is a tiny weeny bit offensive to a degree where it is basically non-existant - is pathetic.
Speaking of which - a lot of people don’t want these angry ‘WE NEED BALANCING FOR THESE CHAMPIONS’ threads, so how about we make a area for those posts to go into too? A balancing sub-topic sounds like a great way to make sure the general discussion area even less toxic. Because ATM half of the posts are stuff like ‘Brig is OP’ and ‘Doomfist is so bad to play against and needs a nerf’ and ‘Mercy needs buffs please’ but there aren’t as many posts like ‘PSA - do not do your arcades later today’ or ‘I need help with my gaming performace’ or ‘NEWS: LUcio-oh’s is coming to the cereal isle!’. These posts aren’t toxic and they are full of delightful friendly discussion.
So yeah. This place needs to be seperated more, so people are happier using the forums. Nobody wants toxicity in General Discussion and quite frankly this is the best solution to fix it.
