Question about Free Speech/Petitions on forums

Just wondering, does this umbrella against petitioning and boycotting include calling for changes in a hero? For example, could I say “Give sombra even less spread” and if I get boatloads of support, is that “petitioning”? Or is that protected under the rights provided to me by Blizzard?

Not sarcastic. Seriously asking this. I will follow the rules and listen to Blizzard.

Curious about this too. The rules could be a bit clearer tbh.

I would imagine that as long as you don’t call it a petition, and call for “signing” by posting it would be fine. But I don’t know for sure.

What they are referring to is the type of post.

For example

PETITION: MAKE SOMBRA HAVE RAINBOW BARF POWERS
The quality of that thread is going to be people replying.
“I agree”
“totally”
“No way”

While a Discussion based thread would be
"What if Sombra had Rainbow Barf Powers?"

You would have to highlight your argument and people would have to write on why they agree or disagree with you. Creating an informed discussion about the rainbow barfness of Sombra.

One is a Spam Thread - that has no meaningful conversation.
One is an actual Discussion on a topic.
