Blizzard is hiding threads now!?

They are “unlisting” threads. What is this all about? Is this some form of post shadowbanning like they do on YouTube? Take a look at the bottom of this thread that just disappeared from the forum listing.

Huh. That’s pretty strange… Possibly spam control however, but I haven’t seen that before.

lol plus ten characters

Probably because it devolved into namecalling or something.

It takes all of ten seconds to actually look at the thread to see thats not the case…

Last post was all I looked at and it was basically whining.

If whining is all it takes to “hide” posts then there wouldn’t be a single post on this forum.

There have been a lot of whiny threads started lately that are basically spam of other virtually identical threads.

There’s a reason why there are mostly troll threads mocking [someone] on the forum. Most of the real posters have quit the game, but the trolls still need to get their daily quota in so there will be at least the appearance that the forum is being used by players.

That doesn’t mean clear spam threads shouldn’t be pruned.

We really don’t need more “Alliance you suck” and “Horde you suck” threads.

I would agree, spam control is likely considering there are a few active threads on the subject, and this one with a blue response as well.
