Apparently harder to find than I thought, so here’s a cute floof.

I don’t like the idea of trying to completely get rid of “troll” comments. Everyone’s idea of offense is different. And trolls need to exist. Part of the ecosystem lol. It sucks, but it’s better than censorship.

You choose to be on the internet. If you never wanted to read something mean, stay inside with the blinds down and unplug your router. I don’t like people being nasty, but nobody owes anyone anything.

Reporting will now auto-initiate a duel will the person on your next login. Neither party will be able to do anything until the blood feud is settled!

Ya know it’s very sus when these people are talking about law. It’s almost like these people want to call the cops on you for disagreeing. :thinking:

These people REALLY want 4Chan airstrikes to happen on this forums, huh?

Forum changes - do we need a forum wipe?

To respond to your OP here before I mute this thread.

no, doesnt need wiped.
What it needs is for trolling and inappropriate to be removed as ‘violations’ as those invite abuse of the flag given they are 1000% subjective in nature…neither DEFINES anything.
the rules need to be crystal clear…as do the punishments…‘do this and that happens’.
Subjective rules are designed to be misused.

Then a better ignore and clear instructions to use those instead of abusing the flag as a downvote under penalty of punishment if it happens often enough

That would fix most of this forums problems.

muted…

The assertion is, and always has been, that if someone just had your Btag, no, they can’t harass you in-game.

If they have your character-server which is the system that we have now, as long as those are still displayed then people have no more ability to harass and stalk than they do now - as evidenced by one of the most persistent bad-faith trolls in these threads whispering someone in game to harass them about a thread that had been removed.

Who accused who doesn’t matter. All a flag does is ask that the moderators look at a post. If the post is fine, they’ll clear any flags and let it stand. If it’s not, they’ll remove it, and at that point it literally doesn’t matter who asked them to look at it, only that it did in fact go against the forum CoC or was unproductive enough to remove.

That’s good to hear, And you are right. Laws exist to protect Victims and Innocent people from Legal wrong doings. Rules exist to help keep everyone in line.

But, we’re not discussing criminal law or even civil law. Because…

I could call the police and report someone anonymously for breaking the law. And when the Police arrive and see that you are breaking the law. I am not the Accuser. I am just the reporter.

When someone Flags your Post here. They are reporting you. Blizzard is the one who is bringing action against your account. So they would be the accuser and you can confront them if you wish, through a appeal of course.

I mean you’re the one acting like a flag jumps up to the level of a criminal prosecution and the protections required for that

I actually looked, I don’t think it exists. I’ll chalk it up to more of their fabricated nonsense they throw up.

I’m thinking it may be a typo in that case. I mean it’s easy to do with cata just releasing.

Deathwing would be on the brain for sure.

Also look at me. I’m a product OF deathwing or Neltharian.
