Hell if he did give specifics , I’d consider it a sign of the apocalypse

You do know this has nothing to do with the actual game . This has to do with account wide ignores for the forums .
Also next time maybe add a TDLR at the end.
The problem is people like Ard and the undead mage that shall not be named believe they have a right to force themselves upon everyone and that no one should have thye right to ignore them .
I once thought the Fox was annoying but the more I think about it the more he comes off thike the mage . A narcissistic sociopath. THis is just my opinion of them and the reason I would like account wide ignores so I don’t have to deal with those types.

You forgot level 55 classic dk’s
They are instant or depending how fast the forums updates a character.
I’ve been waiting 2 weeks so far for the forum to update this character and I’m still in Brewfeat mogs.
Making those easy to make characters to be on the forums can be create/deletes.

Yes people can have up to 60 retail characters, 50 base characters classic and 50 WoLK classic characters. That alot of characters for one account.
Trolls can use those characters to have conversations with themselves, people can like their own posts and have a bunch flags at their disposal.
Just need to login in game than log out to register on the forums.

Usually less than 30 minutes.
And it’s not like there’s anything stopping them from deleting old characters and making new ones to take their place if they’re that dedicated.

T squad did that make a character post something, delete, make another wash, rinnse, repeat, because they knew the ignore system is flawed it can be bypassed easily with no problems.
I believe there is another poster doing that with level 55 classic dk’s.

Cool wall of text.
Just because the advent of account-wide ignore might expose the forums as a ghost town doesn’t make account-wide ignore any less of a good for the forums. If the forums are unpopulated, that’s a completely unrelated issue.
‘Get thicker skin’ isn’t the answer either; ignore exists exactly so people don’t need to potentially expose themselves to things they dislike, it exists as a tool of self-protection and curation.
It doesn’t matter how large or small your platform, you owe it to your users to have tools with sufficient power to protect themselves and report bad behavior without having to entirely disengage from the platform itself.

Found the most recent post that people took offence to and looked through it…can’t see anything wrong with it, the only thing I mentioned in that post is that someone was from Frostmourne, and Frostmourne when it was a PVP server was more trollish than it is now,
To make it clear, that comment was not meant as a personal attack on the poster in question, just pointing out the fact from my point of view that back in the day many of the servers that people used to be on were quite rough and you knew if you rolled a toon on them you were going to get trolled and called names if you were bad at the game,
That doesn’t mean it was right, but that was the culture, as it was very competitive. And WoW is still very competitive now, sadly more in PVE than PVP, and my strong belief is that in a competitive environment people will try and make others look bad.
Still Doesn’t make it okay…

I’m not sure the concept of “2 wrongs don’t make a right” is understood here.

So you guys can’t just scroll past a post you dislike? You have to duke it out for months? We might need a bit more than just account wide ignores and more of people learning how to use “self-control” with engaging with people they don’t like. Don’t like someone? Do not reply to them. Very easy, you don’t need Blizzard to help you with this people lol. And honestly? These forums aren’t worth the effort of a re-haul. Every tiny update they end up breaking anyways.

Asking for a feature to be brought up to par is absolutely fine to do, and it’s also fine to defend it in the presence of those trying to tear it down or insert poison pills into its function. If you don’t feel like ignoring someone, you don’t have to, but if someone does want to ignore someone, that ignore should be strong enough that it doesn’t get circumvented by a character switch while allowing the person doing the ignoring enough power over it to decide if the person ignored is worth interacting with again later on.

Said it before and I’ll say it again: Just remove characters and replace with bnet account names. I’m pretty sure other blizz forums already do this without issue? Does Overwatch do it?
Bnet accounts are just as anonymous as character names, solves the alt trolls and unlike character names, bnets cannot be used to whisper or mail people in-game without first being bnet friends.
It’s such a simple, effective and elegant solution with precedent to prove it works.
Obviously blizz must first offer free bnet account name changes on top of the already provided free one we get just in case people wasted their free one already.

This is the ideal solution, solves this problem and a few others.

That’s fine, but you guys act like it’s just impossible to just not reply or respond to a person. This is not real life, you are not facing whomever you hate in person and are forced to engage. Just…scroll past it? I don’t know, the way people make it here seem like the forums are some vile place with trolls left and right, and it is, but it’s certainly not as bad as people are making it out to be.
Example me: I said 2 things to a troll in Wrath forum like 5 mins ago. Fed him and I disengaged lol. He posts again I don’t say anything just move on.

That’s great that you can do that, and I applaud it. There are other times however when someone gets baited into doing something bad, or someone’s just spewing nonsense of really vile stuff. A strong ignore means the source is cut off and the person ignoring can get a break from whatever the interaction was.

And you’re doing the thing where you act like it’s somehow morally inferior to use an ignore. Sometimes someone just pushes that last button and you don’t want to deal with them again, or sometimes people clog up threads with gibberish and you just want to read the rest of the thread. It’s just basically a forum filter, it’s not some high minded thing either way.
