A simple solution to the vote kick issue

People have been telling them it’s not a systemic issue and that the “fixes” they come up with aren’t necessary.

Then those people get attacked and told they’re the problem and they’re the ones using this system to troll and told to go elsewhere.

But somehow the panda crew are the victims.

Go figure.

That is your opinion, friend.
The long list of kick threads say otherwise, as well as some of us disassociating from group content entirely over seeing so many unjustified, time wasting kicks of tanks that just caused us to have to sit and wait for a replacement.

No, Perl has said the thread should be locked because it is spammy, and is in violation within the rules, in which, I do agree with them. We don’t need more threads about the vote-kick with the same couple of people who prefer to troll the forums and spam the threads in thinking something is being abused when it is not.

These topics are starting to become far more spammy than the High Elf topics, and those were spammed all over the forums for years.

‘valid’ as in ‘permission granted’, correct.
‘valid’ as in “kicking a player who didnt do anything wrong”, absolutely wrong.

Agreed…and those players arent who we are discussing here.
We’re talking bout my second example above where the player is targeted for a kick over spite and malice, not for anything theyve done to disrupt the run

then report the OP for spam…and mute the thread and let moderation decide what is a violation or not.

Hanging out in the thread to keep derailing it to FORCE a 404 is a bit juvenile at that point.

They did, as far as I can tell.

Then Perl’s post got flagged in response. This is funny to me.

at a point I did notice they left, but could have just logged off for the night.
Im expecting a return, personally

edit…sorry…my brain is down for repairs today, lol…I thought you responded to one point and it was the other lol

The thread was already flagged by the time I’ve entered it, so, there wasn’t any reason for me to flag it when it was already flagged.

I don’t personally think flagging for spam should necessitate not engaging in the discussion.

It’s not a secret I tend not to agree with you on this topic, of course, but it would be a little two-faced of me if I said “you should post about the topics you want to discuss” but also “stop talking about it if you think it’s oversaid.”

I believe we were instructed not to engage once we flagged a post/poster?

I respect disagreement in most cases. This would be one of them, sort of.
Other topics that affect my account, those are going to be another matter where its not about respect or not, its about my account. We dont need to go there, but you know what i mean, Im sure.

If we can agree to disagree thats fine in most cases.
If we’re just trying to derail a thread to get it locked out of sheer petulance…well thats over the top behavior that should be removed from any forum environment.

More misinformation from my friend.

Here’s a fact: 800 posts and over 100 of them are from one single person who claims that there’s an issue. They say that there’s an issue because there are so many posts but neglect to point out the majority are their own.

And yes, this thread being opened right after the other was closed is indeed a violation of the rules. I don’t make the rules. I’m just trying to help the OP to NOT get into trouble by pretending like this is okay.

Another fact: The majority of the posts in this thread are by 4 characters who are hopefully different players, but I’m not too sure I believe that.

But back on topic, this whole “issue” really is just the OP of these sorts of threads being keyboard warriors claiming that there’s something wrong with the other 4 players and not them for being removed.

Should we punish 4 players for not wanting to play with the 5th? That’s abusing the system and weaponizing the game against 4 players. Should we have Blizzard holding our hand in when it comes to a simple majority rules vote? Nope! Not worth the time, effort or funds involved over the hurt feelings of the person being kicked.

When this system launched, we never had so many threads about hurt feelings and ridiculous claims of “abuse”. The person voted out either switched to an alt to play or waited the timer out.

Oh, and despite being an MVP, green text or anything else, I’m still allowed to disagree with these threads and have my own opinion of them.

Not as far as I know, though I would argue it if a CM told me as much.

Civility shouldn’t stop the moment someone is technically breaking a rule.

nah…youve shown absolutley NO agenda here to get these threads locked/404ed

I tried to say this in another thread but it was shut down as I said it; I love your avatar. It evokes a nostalgic “playing the color white in Warcraft 2” for me. It was such a striking color in that game, I always played it when I was able.

And what happens if this one also gets closed and another thread opens up on the same topic. Are you going to repeat that?

Or is this one of those “It is a topic that I agree with, so it isn’t what it is” type of scenarios.

I do find it odd that you seem more concerned about the thread being 404’d than anything else.

given the other one was locked over it, why wouldnt i be?
use the mute if one doesnt like the topic…i do

last i checked there had been numerous threads posted on this topic the last weeks…and months…NONE of which were started by me. lol
