Flagging is NOT a downvote button!

Wait how? I post memes and gifs here and there and i’ve never got into any trouble. I just don’t see how Warcraft memes be any different.

They shouldn’t be. None of them were offensive. All were funny. It was a thread to lighten the mood and have fun yesterday. But apparently that’s not allowed either.

I thought about petitioning it, but it’s not worth the time to fight with them anymore.

Too many pearl clutchers in the world today that’s for sure.

This post is pretty offensive to people that can’t afford pearls.

Well funny is subjective but i understand why you posted them to lighten the mood and have fun.

You said yesterday and i’ve noticed you used the same drinking meme gif for a year now. Maybe that could be it on why you can’t post memes (assuming you can’t now)? And no, i’m saying it’s vandalism or advertising, i always noticed that the gif is a little… Risque. But i digress.

Not honestly sure why their apparently Vandalism or advertisement.

That was kind of democracy in action though. If your post got buried, it probably deserved to be.

Well except in this case a single person using alts could shut down the conversation. So unless they fix that, it’s not really like “democracy”.

How dare you mock people who can afford pearls. Flagging.

Bring back the downvote button - so people can voice their displeasure at a topic or post - without having to report a person.

Eh. If the mods are going to be as bad at telling what’s against the CoC, I don’t really care.

I got actioned for telling people to not take the bait from the troll once, because I “Made the forum an unsafe environment for the poster”

Meanwhile, yesterday people were making threads insulting people who use Blizzard Balance to pay for the game, making threads just telling Blizzard how the change was great, etc. when A. The first type of thread is insulting people, and B. The second type of thread is considered spam by the CoC. It’s a duplicate thread, and the first thread IS STICKIED so they cant even say they didn’t see it.

But Blizzard was routinely unflagging threads that got flagged as spam.

It wasn’t that. It was an entire thread I made. I’ve never been sanctioned over a gif before or had one deleted in ages. And yeah, I’ve been using the drinking gif for a very long time. lol

And I can still post. I wasn’t sanctioned. They just deleted the thread. Maybe they figured it would devolve. I’m not sure.

Nothing worse than some random schmo acting like they are a moderator or have any authority.

If its an issue, a real moderator will address it.

Theres a meme thread in the Lounge, for the record.

No where in the post does Rhielle even remotely imply she has any power.

She’s literally asking for suggestions because shockingly, Blizzard does read the forums.

Fair enough, i couldn’t find that thread in question.

Fair enough.

I always thought that if you get your thread deleted or something, you would lose that trust level? :thinking:

How did you manage to equate ideas to get the report system fixed with someone trying to be a moderator? No one here has acted like a moderator. What? LOL

Depends on if they silence you. I’ve had threads deleted before. Sometimes it’s to avoid controversial debates. They aren’t against the CoC, but they can create a toxic environment, so the mods decide it’s better to delete it now than lock it later.

In my infraction I mentioned above, I lost TL3 for like 3-4 months.

Nope. It’s based off the offense. And seeing as how I wasn’t sanctioned, it was probably just deleted for dear of devolving. Nothing about that thread was against the rules. In fact, it was probably one of the most on topic ones here. lol

Anyone who uses the flag system to “downvote” knows what they are doing lol. If there are no consequences for it (which seems to be the case) it will keep happening. I’ve seen so many posts blocked because of flagging and then unblocked it is rediculous (mine included).
