I know this will upset some folks but I genuinely think that the best way to moderate the Forums and the game in-general is 24/7 RealID for the Forum & in-Game.
The moderators for this forum are amazing folks, they are working hard to do the best they can to clean up posts and even GMs who are in-game and banning those breaking ToS.
As good as they are there’s only so much they can do, which is why I think enabling RealID can be a step forward in making the job easier and the game and the forums safer.
Folks will have less of an incentive to troll or mislead others when their RealID is showing and it’s far easier for Blizzard to keep track of bad actors whenever they do encounter one.
I think this is a positive step forward in the direction of stricter moderation and I think it will greatly benefit everyone
There’s so much that could go wrong with this.
Real ID for forums could easily open up all kinds of harassment and possible in game stalking for many,many reasons.
Not saying that’s exactly what would happen but it would open the doors for that.
Well they could just do what they do for all their other Blizzard forums and have it under their Battle Tag with a chosen alias. At least I think you get to choose the alias
You have to be trolling (already know you are) to suggest Real ID and think it would benefit you more than harm. At worst you would get reported to oblivion and have to make another account with an active sub, at best everyone will just mute a singular person and probably get rid of 10% of the problem just like that.
