What's being done with the Mass Flagging of the Mercy Megathread?

The fact that it keeps getting closed (along with other Mercy threads) proves it spam at this point. Even with the Megathread open, the Mercy mains spam threads outside. We’ve been putting up with it for a long time now and the threads keep on coming.

If you could stay INSIDE the megathread (when its open) it would be a different story, but you can’t.

So your solution is to put it upon yourself to flag every Mercy thread as spam, whether it’s constructive or not. Is that correct? If yes, then what would be holding people from flagging any post as spam? People have been putting up with “Nerf _____”, “Buff ____”, “I’m Leaving”, “The problem with X mains” threads as well. Just because you don’t like something, doesn’t give you the right to forcibly silence other people you don’t agree with. What you think as spam or not is irrelevant if those threads are not actually breaking TOS.

Show where flagging for spam is against the TOS. Thanks.

Inappropriate use of the Flagging Feature

The Overwatch forums are a place for constructive discussion and debate for almost any Overwatch-related subject. Anyone who would like to participate agrees to respect our Code of Conduct, which asks that users be respectful and courteous of fellow participants. However, over the past few days, we’ve seen an influx of users abusing the forums’ Flag feature. The misuse of this feature has caused several topics, many of which were constructive, to be paused or locked. The Flag feature reports a …

Abusing the Reported Post feature by sending false alarms or nonsensical messages

That includes abusing the report / flagging button.

You use the excuse of the Megathread is a dumping ground for not posting in it. That’s spam my friend.
(when I say you, i mean people who posts threads outside)

That’s an incorrect way to use the word “you”, what you mean to say is “they”.

Also fun fact. Mods = / = forum users. What the forum users think isn’t always 100% aligned with what the mods set as rules. There are ways to disagree with someone without breaking the rules and being toxic.

Also keep in mind the Megathread is the same crap going round and round in circle, a combination of mass res and earnable res, there are no new ideas. It is literally spamming the same stuff over and over. Everything that can be said, has been said there is no discussion to have anymore on current version of Mercy.

That is a completely narrow-minded opinion to have. I’ve seen way more topics being discussed than those two thing’s you’ve mentioned. I would suggest actually reading the megathread before making such a non-informed statement. Once again, your opinion = / = fact. Just because YOU don’t like what is discussed there doesn’t make it spam. Stop thinking that your opinions are fact.
