Again not suggesting that personally, but it should be only one profile so people aren’t trolling the forums on alts. It’s not about Blizz and what they do to your account. It’s about people’s behavior on the forums.
I think that Vulpera is stuck on repeat so I wouldn’t bother much.

No they don’t. Each character is essentially it’s own account the way the forums is coded.
i am not sure that means but that is what I would like if they switched to bnet id. I don’t really see a reason to switch
When I say proactive moderation, I mean actively monitoring threads like the million fake LGBT+ threads and deleting posts/actioning people who are violating the code of conduct without there being reports.
That is “active” moderation, as in doing it in real time. However it is also reactive, in that people have to break a rule.
“Pro” in the world “proactive” literally means “before”. You can’t moderate something before it happens.

your account is like that but people who participated in last alpha and beta are coded differently and can post on any character and maintain their trust level - with the exception of classic characters.
I know because my account is coded that way. So they have the ability to extend that to everyone if they wanted.
A thread gets linked in another thread, you click on it to see context, get an access denied.
Your system would allow me to conspire with a group of other players, make a series of threads arguing that classic toons should not be allowed to post in the retail GD section, and if enough of us put the prominent posters who use classic toons on this proposed block, it would give the appearance of near unanimous support.
As best it can be, the forums are intended to be a public space. As long as you follow the rules and have a sub running, you can post here. It would run counter to this design goal to allow players to decide specific other players aren’t allowed to post in this specific thread.
Or choose one character to post on, period. Attempting to change it will result in Blizzard’s equivalent of “I’m sorry, I can’t let you do that, Dave.”
Whether or not this kind of change could be made with the current forum model used is another issue.

It’s also proactive as it is moderation before posts get flagged.
You want to block people from seeing or replying to your posts if you have them on Ignore?
Not going to happen. People do this all the time. Make a thread, don’t like what others say, try to tell them not to post in the thread. Blues, esp on CS, tend to shut that down fast.
You can control what YOU see, this is not private social media where you get to block what others see and reply to. You post here, anyone in good standing can see and reply.
You want private posting where you pick who can see it, you can use FB.

Some “Minority Report” stuff happening here?
Or give changing a cooldown of a week, or month, or something. Where people can change but not too often.
then there is no point to do it unless its for stricter bans even in game for a post.
people also troll report on he forums that is toxic as well and who gets to decide whats toxic and itsnt.
it opens up al kinds of bad reporting and banning.
lol - so first this has to happen, then a group of people have to conspire to make a thread that you can’t see to deny you the opportunity to give feedback.
you are making all kinds of assumptions here - firstly you are important enough to a group of people to do that - very unlikely. secondly, your feedback is important enough to blizzard that it would make a different IF they even saw it.
It depends on how many 1984 references you want to put up with.
Pretty sure Hydra from captain America tried to moderate things before they happened
People were upset

My point wasn’t that it would be easy, but that your idea would make it possible in the 1st place.
If you are going to create a system where I can’t avoid stalkers and harassment - yep I do. Easy fix just don’t change to bnet.

just because something is possible doesn’t mean it will ever occur and should be a factor in decision making.
