Can we ask for more privacy features in forums to feel more secure?

[Ayukama-frostmourne]

Let me start by this:

Point #1:

@Nelfas-azshara

The purpose of discussion in forums is to exchange ideas, share experiences and engage in meaningful conversations. Unfortunately, some players misuse these forums by trolling, posting nonsense gifs, mass flagging and derailing topics into 404.

You do not start a thread with this. The entire purpose of the forums is to have discussions. If you feel that someone is trolling the forums, or you feel that someone is violating the Forum Code of Conduct, you should report it. Including something like this is more than likely is going to cause unrest on the forums, and is going to get the thread locked.

Point #2:

@Nelfas-azshara

Having the ability to fully hide one’s armory from repeat stalkers would enhance user privacy and security.

You do not include the part of accusing people of being “stalkers” when looking at someone’s armories. People who tend to look at someones armories usually looks for all different reasons, some for transmog ideas, some to have a look at the cool mounts you may have collected, etc.

These sort of things are not productive, and will lead to arguments.

These sort of things in ways to open up a thread is going to cause a lot of back-and-forths within the community, and by doing this, you’re just making it hard on moderation to deal with the forums.

As Vrak has said to you specifically:

@Vrakthris

It often causes further discord in a thread and the result is often that the thread is locked or just deleted.

Some things you do not start opening a thread with, especially the starting of the name calling and accusations. These sort of things are not productive to the forums, and will cause more drama, and will get your threads locked/deleted.
