Can we have more privacy in forums to feel more safe?

Or the people who love to give their takes about how mythic raiding works, when they haven’t killed a mythic raid boss ever outside of a transmog run.

And if its that concerning to them, youd think theyd choose that option.
Someone years ago mentioned a group who are infamous online and I got curious and followed a link over to their website/forum.
Stuff there literally had me sending it to law enforcement it was so bad. lol
Ive never visited that site again and I avoid that group like the plague.
IF someone feels the are unsafe HERE, then WHY are they posting at all?
Agree with you 100%

That’s what I implied?

Youre welcome.
Now read my previous post to Rankin.

I was agreeing and providing another example.

sometimes you just have to know when to walk away and from whom to walk away from. :+1:

C’mon, are you going to tell me where abouts in the Code of Conduct it is against to rephrase or edit a quote within a post?

Practice what you preach.

your posts are really precious , thank you Liolang.

Account-wide ignores would be great. If that was a thing and ignored posters didn’t appear on the feed, threads like this would just be crickets to exist quietly in peace before being shut down for being… the same thing repeated over and over.

Btags are irrelevant simply because if you ignore the person that’s it. Only time knowing when someone is just posting on an alt would matter is when someone shows up and starts suspiciously mirroring the same exact sentiment but putting one on ignore and suddenly having several characters blip out of the conversation accomplishes the same thing.

I don’t think these forums are particularly bad. In fact they’re probably incredibly tame. The things that get flagged on these forums are usually wrong-think, and sometimes trolling. We notice the trolling threads because they blow up, but we completely ignore the people that get flagged for wrong-think. Trolling threads are actually not that common.

Many of the people that create troll threads are repeat offendors who simply wait out their temp bans and come right back in to make their troll threads and they do it on the same characters. Battle tags won’t solve those issues, and it won’t solve the issues with “well intentioned” forum people from punishing people for wrong-think or bad opinions.

The forums are pretty much fine the way they are.

It’s not about safety. They want to use sockpuppet alts to keep posting their message when people set them to ignore. This is against the CoC.

@Nelfas: If you are going to make an appeal to the rules of conduct on the forums then it would behoove you to cite which article in question you think Ayukama is in violation of.

Failure to do so while continually making the allegation would ironically be a violation of the CoC.

I mean, you’re not wrong, things aren’t all that bad, but they are far from good either.

In other words, there is a lot of room for improvements.

Youre welcome. :+1::+1:
let me know if you need more of my wisdom shared here.

can you elaborate about this? Why you think that? I am not that person.

your wisdom is most welcomed here. I really like reading your posts.

Just an account wide ignore would be enough.
Though my guess is, based on how many tell me they want the ignore and want to ignore me…then two years later still havent ignored me, thus proving there is some other agenda going on here…that an account wide ignore isnt going to actually have the effect that some asking for one believe it will.

Moderation 99.999% of the time takes care of problematic threads in timely fashion and if we’re so offended by that thread we can CHOOSE to mute it and ignore the threads poster.

I realize some want the forum in total lockdown 24 hours a day…but if that is ones mindset, I would submit that one might just want to get off the internet entirely for ones own peace of mind.

I see the debate has begun again.

You should just let Nelfas have their post.

They’ll just keep coming back.
