But I wouldn’t be messaging your name specifically or anything in that situation, it’s just so I can say what I want to say without reputation damage. Just as I did earlier.
As for that police comment, to the best of my knowledge, there’s not really any law I know of that says you can’t have an anonymous account on the internet, and given the internet is a global thing all across the world, they can’t really police the internet that well
Np give me a sec i fell asleep
Huh i can’t find ya dragula_uwu is discord and Dragula#1137 is my btag
No thank goodness.
But the fact that this thread keeps going, and other threads with an opposing view do not, suggests Blizzard are still on all your side and trying to work something out, which means highly likely something will change eventually…when they have the right tech/software or whatever.
So I’ve seriously reconsidering my position on a lot of things…I definitely won’t remain on Lilitha is an account wide ignore becomes a thing, highly likely I will think about only giving the light gentle opinions that aren’t controversial…you might think that’s a good thing though. Then again, if I am not feeling that WoW Spark when War Within comes out, if I feel I can’t really say what I want to say without risking as much consequence as before, it may result in me unsubbing altogether if I can’t find a way around it…
I’m carefully thinking about my options.
I’m gonna imagine anything that changes will come in with or after the warbands are active. Just seems like something that might tie in to that kind of function
If warbands did anything for the forums you’d think they’d state it specifically.
Not leave us guessing.
It would be good if they treated our characters as Warbands also within the forums. Making everything account wide here.
Maybe not. Hardly anyone uses or cares about the forum in comparison to the actual playerbase.
You reap what you sow. If you do not want a reputation for lying or being a generally unpleasant person, you should not lie or be an unpleasant person.
Adding in an extra part of this: the CS agents now seem to more actively mod GD, hence why Orylia closed the anon posting thread (which, to use Ard logic, means that thread was against the rules).
I think it is hard to make that judgement. Like, don’t get me wrong, the total amount of the playerbase that does use the forums is small compared to who plays the game, but to say who cares about the forums is a hard one to say. I know there is some people who doesn’t care, and I know there is some who uses the forums to help find out information, or seeking cs support that can be helped easily without needing to submit a ticket.
I think the actual reason why the thread got locked because of how toxic the thread did get, and not the topic itself. Because I could create a thread to request for anonymous posting, and the topic wouldn’t be locked, but with how the thread ended up turning out, it did end up being a huge train wreck, and ended up being a lot more toxic than Khrogs original BTag thread.
That is the truth, isn’t it, though that would be a double edged sword for you in particular.
If they don’t use it, why care?
Because maybe there would have to be a time where they would have to come to the forums, whether to get help with something from Customer Service or Tech Support, or looking for imformation from other players in relation to the game, or to look for a guild even.
Not everything can be solved in game or via reddit or wowhead. But I wouldn’t go around to saying most people wouldn’t care when we don’t really know how many does or doesn’t.
Err that’s fair then. But that’s only really a specific section of the forums that they wouldn’t ordinarily use.
I mean, even sometimes, people here in GD can be helpful too, if the right questions are asked. Though on rare occasions as well I should add. Usually, there is a lot that goes on here, and when someone needs help with something, these sort of things get buried fast because of other threads. And lets say if it was a typical Sunday bait thread, people would mostly be focusing their attention towards those threads rather than the broader forums, because those bait threads would be exploding pretty fast.
The problem I have with trying to help people on GD is that their “questions” aren’t always actually asked in good faith. The tell for that is the people who ask “how does this work” then get mad isn’t the answer they wanted, revealing that the “question” was a complaint thread in disguise
Ah the threads of someone asking a question then about 30 responses in it just goes to all Hell.
Yeah, I have seen a lot of those, and some have been more of demands too. But you do get the rare occasional person asking the question in good faith.
It’s only Blizzard that sets the rules for their forums.
Let me explain further. This is a hypothetical, yes, but if someone, and I’m not implying you have done this to me or anyone else, was harassing or bullying someone on this forum, or reddit, or twitter, or facebook etc. to the point that a person felt that permanently ignoring them was the best recourse, and the ignored person went out of their way to set up or purchase a new account for the express purpose of getting around the ignore/block and continue the mistreatment of the person who blocked them it, in my opinion, would be unhinged and down right scary that a person went to those lengths. Where I live in NC, and in almost 1/2 the states in the US, there are cyberbullying laws. It wouldn’t be my first action, I’d of contact Blizzard first and then work my way up to legal stuff. I’m keenly aware of bullying/cyberbullying because I have a special needs kiddo who has had some kids say some very horrible things about him and I simply am not going to tolerate buffoonery any more.
That said, my main point is that if a person and/or group of people have decided to add you to a block or ignore list and you decide to make a new account/subscription just so you can continue to be able to say the things that got you blocked initially is horrible. And if they blocked you once the chances of them blocking you again are high because its doubtful your position is going to radically shift.
