Yeah, that’s what was found out – but the reasons for suddenly losing it don’t really seem to follow those rules, unless moderators are allowing bogus flags which are making people lose their status.
We can’t see when we are flagged so that’s the only reasonable explanation of why so many people lose it, unless there’s more to it than your rule set (which is also entirely possible).
Yeah, I have the original post and it doesn’t reference how to lose level 3. I guess it is hidden from us, but I assume it is similar to how you get it. I have never lost it, but I have no life so…
lol, good luck with that.
I lost mine well over a year ago, and I never got it back.
I was on every day for the 100 days, liking posts, commenting and so on… but I never got it back.
i’ll never get it back because I’m too honest and call people’s BS and I’m okay with that at one point I called Jeff hitler because he demanded all to follow without question and his authority was rule and could never be wrong when in fact one year into the game I proved him wrong and he said basically it’s not his vision and let the game suffer for 3 more years :).
Scientifically speaking, majority of people do not respond well to that kind of nastiness. And people calling nastiness “honesty” seldom realize how ironic that statement is
That isn’t scientifically speaking that’s opinionated speaking and while yes some people may respond poorly to someone being “unpleasant to them” some others even myself learn improve ourselves over time especially if we were doing stupid crap and weren’t realizing it.
Yes using a joke like I did was distasteful it was a joke a pretty obvious joke to point out something (how he was acting). I got my suspension for it and that is fine (haven’t said anything about the suspension up to this point so blizz you can’t blame me for talking about the actual suspension…lol).
Honesty is honesty whether it’s nasty or extremely positive.
No. It isn’t. It’s basic human psychology. And every management class will train you to give criticism constructively because it is far more likely to get postive results. You sometimes get good results from destructive criticism. However, far more often than not you instead make people angered, defensive, etc. And thus much less likely to take your feedback into consideration.
It wasn’t an obvious joke, it was mockery.
I almost always see this stated as a way to explain the negative reactions or consequences someone gets from them stating their opinions. Which is a dishonest assessment meant to paint the people reacting in a bad light instead of admitting to others and themselves that people are responding negatively because they are being rude. That is what makes it so ironic.
There may actually be a good reason for that. https://www.inverse.com/mind-body/brain-of-lifelong-bully-looks-different-than-general-populations
Psychological studies have shown that people tend to ignore or resent advice when it’s given rudely even if it’s right. And they’re more willing to accept a lie if it’s delivered with praise. You can say that’s just people being emotional, but that’s how people operate. If you do not give other people your consideration when you speak to them, why will they give anything you say their consideration? If you are trying to “get through to people”, you are actually undermining yourself.
