Honestly if you spend enough time on the forums (and you do) then you know how most conversations on “certain topics” are going to go with specific people.
Friendly debate/discussion is one thing (albeit rare) but when it comes to “certain topics” we are stuck in an infinite time loop. Except instead of “DORMAMMU I’VE COME TO BARGAIN” it’s “MERCY I’VE COME TO REVERT/REWORK”
In my opinion, once you’ve determined some people are just not negotiable you are better off just muting notifications and threads from them and pretending they don’t exist. I find it rather cathartic to actively ignore squawkers. And from my experience, and what I’ve witnessed happen to others, e-screaming in each others threads just doesn’t end well most of the time.
There are people I can respectfully disagree with on these forums and then there are people who are lost causes (in my eyes) and a waste of time to indulge. I’m sure people feel that way about me (maybe idk) and I’d implore them to do the same too. This advice goes for anyone of any opinion.
I could argue that you’re completely obsessed with me as you continue to respond, despite saying things that are not constructive and/or create nothing but derailment on the thread at hand.
Atleast I stay on topic and don’t attack other users for posting in topics that interest them (not to be confused with making new topics).
And if they choose not to, what will you do? Will you scream at them through the internet? Will that be an effective way to muscle the readers into doing what you want?
Why should they be banned for having a discussion about a hero?
your blowing the amount of mercy posts way out of proportion as a lot of them lately have just been complaining about people having discussion about mercy.
plenty of good discussion out there and quite little of it has been taken down as spam but I know for a fact that several threads like the one op keeps making are constantly taken down as spam.
as they are such.
the mercy discussions are not however as they are usually 9/10 not spam.
Really no reason to ban the mercy players for discussing their hero.
and it was unpinned by the moderators and false flagged since like 2 months ago nearly permanently
So when you use the flagging system it is a mighty blow made in the name of righteousness, but when others do so it is in the name of silencing dissent.
I’ve actually had to mute a number of my older threads because players continue to do nothing but spam and troll in them.
It’s a shame that you’re discouraged from talking about a subject in a specific way simply because the majority disapprove. That’s what this post was about. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Yet, even here, they continue to spam about Mercy balance, when this post was clearly not meant for that.
More and more players continue to spam Titanium’s thread across any post that even references or mentions Mercy once.
There is no escape. And the forums are losing members because of this kind of thing.
You’re free to have an opinion, but when that opinion is that other people shouldn’t be free to voice their opinions then you will receive push back, as you and the OP have here.
There’s a lesson in that, for those wise enough to hear it.
