Can we get account wide ignore?

There’s something about that word I don’t like. It’s just such a strong word. I think it’s just demonizing, not every stranger that says hello or shares an opinion is a bad person.

It just means you voluntarily shared your story. Nobody asked you to. Kinda calls into question your often-stated commitment to privacy.

@Lilithia-nagrand

Mmm that I actually agree with, but the one good thing this forum has taught me was NOT to say and what NOT to do with people in the real world. Sometimes I feel I’ve been giving people access to my private phone, it’s tempting online to overshare when we think we are anonymous.

It is regrettable that it’s best to keep some things to ourselves, as sharing them could get in your way…it’s why I have always said, the right to privacy is essential in life.

But for what it’s worth, I have actually learned something, there’s no point telling people the difficulties I’ve faced in the past, as I don’t need to justify myself in front of people, but it’s clear not everyone needs to know about them. That we don’t need others to see our pain, just to acknowledge our progress I guess.

Also no point letting people know our goals, I’ll keep most of my goals to myself, but as far as this topic is concerned, my goal is for Blizzard to go about things in a way that respects people’s privacy. Problem is with account wide ignore, if someone found out my main character, people could cause great harm and I wouldn’t know where it came from. The main details of our goals in life are probably best kept private…

After all, I didn’t get ahead in the world by saying too much to people, it took a lot of effort for a person like me to keep my mouth shut. But it was actually the most powerful position I’ve been in, when only I had information about my path and where it was going.

If there’s one thing I know is that I’ve made my arguments, I’ve said my piece on this issue, so I feel that any further attempt to say anything at the moment will just show desperation, which will only cause problems, I have faith in my side of the argument even if it’s not a popular opinion…insecurity doesn’t help us achieve our goals, so I think the time has come for me to retreat back into the shadows for a while…

I’ll return to this thread in about a month or so if it’s still up.

Again, this is all personal information nobody asked for, and nobody cares about. If you really value your privacy, keep it to yourself.

[Anadisong-moon-guard]

Yeah, for someone who claims they want privacy, Lillithia gives out a lot of personal info that someone from their irl could probably piece together.

[Pyromor-shandris (Pyromor)]

Nothing wrong with wanting privacy, I do understand where this is coming from, it’s social issue. Poster could have deep social circles and doesn’t wish to offend this circle by ignoring. That is a cultural aspect and it isn’t a bad problem.

Why go to a forum at all then if you not going to listen to people with different opinions

I come to the forums to interact with people, that share my interests, not listen to some tool telling me my enjoyment of the game is wrong and I should feel bad about it.

@Lilithia-nagrand

Why go to a forum at all then if you not going to listen to people with different opinions, kind of defeats the purpose to me,

I know most of the people in this thread I’d kick out of my house in real life, but no point placing them all on ignore here as that would defeat the point of having a debate

“Why ignore people on a forum?”

“I’d throw you out if we met”

You’re too funny lol

[Veidmann-zuljin]

ooh Are they threatening us with a good time ?

[Veidmann-zuljin]

Anyone wanna bet it’s Lil on a classic alt

[Laeuko-draenor]

Harassment, trolling, and bullying is not opinion.

If I feel you can’t have a discussion without having a nasty attitude, being toxic, trolling, bullying and harassing then you deserve to be on my ignore.

You have no right to bypass my ignore.

Bypassing ignores has been a thing for a long time, it’s time to fix that.

Account wide ignore is needed, because people can’t help themselves but to walk around current ignore.

I want to ignore the user not the characters.

Most of us wouldn’t associate ourselves with you to even be at your house due your lengthy history on the forums of causing and being the center of drama.

@Veidmann-zuljin

I’m not sure. The other post made by this classic alt seems to be a bit above Lil’s pay grade.

chuckle

[Gutshredda-zuljin]

@Teufelgott-shadowsong

Account-wide ignores won’t change that in any way.

Well… we won’t have to see it from Lil or any of her alt on her account thou.

[Veidmann-zuljin]

@Gutshredda-zuljin

I’m not sure. The other post made by this classic alt seems to be a bit above Lil’s pay grade.

Hey I was gonna giv Lil a penny for their thoughts but unfortunately they couldn’t make change . So I kept the penny

[Hwanwok-ysera (Hwanwok)]

I think its time for another reminder again…

If you can’t have a civil discussion with me without resorting to being toxic then I will put you on ignore, thats within my right to do it. I’m not trying to censor or silence you, I do not have that power, you still can freely post as long as its not against the CoC but do keep in mind that if you do the same thing to other people such as being toxic, your just going to get ignored by a couple of more people.

Another reminder is that every forum in the internet (i.e Reddit, MMO-Champion, Other Blizzard forums, Steam Discussions, FFXIV forums, etc) has an ignore/block system.

By your logic, you think having the ability to ignore/block people defeats the purpose of a public forum and would kill the forums right? this might be a hard pill to swallow and i know you don’t like hearing this but despite what you like to believe, Those forums are still being used to this day.

[Ardmccloud-frostmourne]

@Sabledraco-illidan

but…no one is forcing you to interact with anyone.
If you come to a forum, you are going to see things you dont agree with and arguments you may or may not side with…etc. Hence the name–FORUM

Trying to silence anyone and everything that challenges your beliefs is WHY a lot of our society is so polarized. You should as a human, regularly expose yourself to challenge instead of just ignoring it and filling your life with echo chambers.
We don’t grow if we’re not challenged.

10/10 nailed it.

[Dylania-wyrmrest-accord]

Except not. No one is silencing anyone by ignoring them. They are on a per-person basis, everyone is still as free (as can be reasonably expected by a forum administered by a private business) to post what they want, and some are just choosing not to interact or witness it.

Also, with some of the stuff that has “challenged” specific groups here? Respectfully, we’re better off without seeing it.

[Ardmccloud-frostmourne]

It’ll still result in echo chambers which will be bad for everyone in the long haul.

[Dylania-wyrmrest-accord]

No, no it won’t. And as said, some of the “challenges” that have been posted here have gone so counter to the forum CoC that they have no place here. Yet… people keep posting them…

[Adilith-barthilas]

hmm hidden reply Only 1 left active that’s on my ignore list. Guess it’s vacation is finish

@Dylania-wyrmrest-accord

Sounds like a bid for administrative control for the forums.

I don’t think that’s a good idea among already heavily polarized posters.

[Dylania-wyrmrest-accord]

Right… honestly, were I given the chance to account-level ignore some of the people here (like those who’ve advocated for conversion therapy, who’ve declared people mentally ill for their identity, etc.) I would. Because honestly, that sort of denigrating behavior DOES NOT have a place in a game forum, especially when existing policies stand AGAINST such behavior.

[Norinila-moon-guard]

@Lilithia-nagrand

defeat the point of having a debate

don’t hardly think anyone is really here to debate but just to let their opinions be heard
