Hello,
I have had several negative experiences on the forum recently, and I would like to provide some constructive feedback.
In some discussions, people disagreed with my ideas, which is completely fine. Healthy disagreement is part of any forum. However, instead of continuing to discuss the topic with reasoning, some replies became personal. Myself and others were accused of being a “LIAR” and of using Generative AI, while the original topic was no longer being discussed. As more users joined in, the discussion shifted away from the ideas themselves.
When I felt some replies crossed the line into trolling or personal attacks, I started using the Flag feature. Eventually, I ran out of available flags, so I could not report later posts that I considered even more inappropriate. I had to wait 24 hours before I could flag again.
Following previous suggestions from Blizzard Support and the MVPs, I have decided to avoid interacting with certain users and have added them to my Ignore list. My goal is simply to avoid unnecessary conflict baiting / trolling and focus on what I want do discuss.
Still he Follows me and I see he reply to me, accuse etc. + Not only here but in other forums as well eg. Support Site Feedback .
I also hope, for the benefit of everyone on the forum, that we can avoid behaviours such as:
- excessive use of clown or cat emojis directed at other users; (not in 1 post but I counted 7x replies - that’s not an isolate emoji )
- repeatedly calling other members “clowns”;
- posting another player’s game information, such as their BattleTag or MMR, without their consent;
- mass Quoting posts - without adding any own words/ arguments;
- repeatedly redirecting discussions away from the original topic without addressing the questions being asked;
- dismissive replies whose only apparent purpose is to provoke or bait other users instead of contributing to the discussion.
I apologize if this part sounds emotional, but I wanted to explain what has been bothering me on the forum.
I also have a few questions and suggestions.
1. What is the purpose of the “Support Site Feedback” section?
From my experience, feedback about Blizzard Support, forum moderation, or how the support forums are managed is often redirected elsewhere.
I would appreciate seeing an example of the type of thread that actually belongs in that section, so users better understand its intended purpose.
2. Support Tickets
I understand that Support Tickets are intended for different kinds of issues and are not meant for general forum feedback.
3. Improvements to the Flag system
Sometimes a single flag category is not enough. A post may simultaneously be off-topic, trolling, inappropriate, and spam, but only one category can be selected.
It would also be helpful if users could include a short explanation when submitting a flag.
For example, I personally do not mind emojis in general. However, because my forum name is “Cat,” I find repeated use of the 
emoji in directed replies to be targeted harassment rather than ordinary emoji use. **Not once or twice but I counted like 7 replies to the thread mentioned ** - So I would like to explain why I flag that post -and not other post . (to write short explanation to the FLAG that “My name is Cat - this is baiting against me”)
The same would apply if my username were “Snake” and people repeatedly responded with 
, or if it were “Devil” and people repeatedly used 
or similar emojis.
And again not once but 7x instances are not just a "singular joke " or little mock/ bait !
Likewise, I believe most people would not appreciate repeated directed use of the 
emoji toward them . Plus responses and lines without any text - just this emoji in Big picture form eg :
than his “friend” replies - continuing the bait/mockery :
do not contribute anything to the discussion. In my opinion, they serve only to mock or bait another user rather than discuss the topic.
The difficulty is that I am sometimes unable to report all of these posts because I run out of available flags and must wait 24 hours before I can submit more.
Even when I can submit a flag, I can only choose one category. In situations like these, the same post may reasonably be considered trolling, off-topic, spam, and inappropriate at the same time.
There is also no way to explain the context. A moderator reviewing a single post may see only one emoji reply, while I am experiencing a repeated pattern across multiple discussions. What concerns me is not one isolated message, but an ongoing pattern of behavior directed toward me. Allowing a short explanation when submitting a flag would help moderators better understand that context.
I hope this feedback - suggestions can help improve the forum !
( Note: Before anyone runs an AI check: yes, I used AI to polish the grammar and make the wording smoother. The ideas are still mine, and I read + edited the result again before posting because the AI even missed a few points. So if anyone wants to waste electricity running an AI detector … do not do it ! Better leave enough power for the tomatoes to grow in Minnesota.
