WoW differs based off of players interactions when it comes to factors in game like performance or loot.
Hence the greater animosity that is generated when someone screws up a keystone or wins a loot roll over another.
Even when debates of FOMO pops up where players don’t want to share in their spoils with plays they don’t feel they deserve vs their efforts.
Which is why theres a careful balance between what accounts can or can’t do when comes to things like account blocks. Overall sockpuppeting is an overblown, niche forum issue as a small group of players wrestle for control over an already diminished online forum.
That isn’t evidence of account wide ignores killing the forums.
Show me a list of forums that died from account wide ignores.

Doing so would likely cause us to go off-topic here as we’re discussing WoW forum security, not the failure of others.
…you’ve also just demonstrated why account ignores wouldn’t work.
Which is exactly on topic as you claimed account wide ignores would kill the forums.
Why? You would be ignored anyways.

Yeah the buzzword of the day calendar rolled over to “fomo”.
I doubt it, where privacy is concerned.
That doesn’t excuse any call outs to the community in general.
I guess I need to update my bingo card

You are concerned about privacy though, so it’s on topic. As evidenced by your very next line.
So if you can just go ahead and make that list of “forums that died because account wide ignores” thanks.

Dude throws out so many buzzwords and random thoughts instead of actual points, there isn’t a bingo card big enough.
Unless you want everyone to get bingo from his first sentence.

yea but his buzzword is constantly repeating. If you listen closely he probably know only 5-10

I think I’m going to stop replying, as it seems you’re only interested in making call outs.
Not exactly contributing to making a friendlier forum environment there.
“I can’t back up what I say”
Sorry bloodypaws maybe next time.

Thats gonna be what gets the thread shut down.
lets try to NOT go after the person and just talk about points and details.
1000 posts in here this morning. Do we really want to lose another thread?
I’ll say Ive been running forums for myself and other groups since about 2005.
Ive never heard a complaint in all these years about it.
On my forums if someone blocks you, you dont see any posts OR threads they make. you cant PM them, nor they you.
Its pretty much like twitter or facebook to some degree.
IF we cant get along with someone to that great a degree, yeah. It should be a two way blackout.

I don’t know how account wide ignore is an issue, like 99.99999% of every social platform ignores the account.
Like btags, whatever, people are morons and don’t understand what a gamer tag is… fine, for the lower iq players I get it.
But account wide ignore is just the standard.

Mainly because how the community has a history of using it. Cogshanks was made accusations of gold extortion to remain unlisted on Cogshanks and a few other things. GD is a weird place.
it won’t change, and you know it won’t.
you just need to say the opposite of what people say.
you can’t seem to put into words either why, or how, this can happen.
there are no downsides to what people are requesting.
you keep trying to invent some, but they don’t make any sense.
you keep claiming something will change, without providing any reasoning behind why or how it would change.
what’s even weirder, is that you are convinced that there are two groups of forum users… and everyone who agrees with account-wide ignore, is also going to share the exact same stance on every other topic.
…another impossibility, which somehow seems perfectly logical to you.

If you keep doing that crap and the thread is locked again YOU are going to be the reason it is.
STOP calling names for god sake. STOP insulting people or expect another lock/404 here
