Forum Posting

Blizzard should make it so that a player is required to have an active sub to post on the forums. Then only max level characters or the highest level character on that account is allowed to comment. It could help stop a lot of the trolls and hatefulness that comes into GD. It gets tiring hearing people who just complain constantly and they havent been subbed in years or months, or someone saying hateful things hiding behind a burner toon.

I thought you could only post until your sub runs out?

Also, what’s a burner toon?

Basically a toon that is lower level that they don’t care about that wont be shown as your main toon. So they will change to it say things that they wouldnt say on their main then switch back to their main. Essentially hiding behind a toon that they can delete and not care about.

people do need an active sub to post in this section and your other rules would do nothing because there are plenty of lvl 60 trolls and abusive posters running around here.

I’m failing to see how this directly affects you. Sounds like you are just sensitive and maybe depressed.

Forum posting should be done from your bnet name with selected characters only being your display avatar

I unsubscribed for a while because of the current content drought and could not post on forums.

Careful, this thread was so well-thought out that OP may end up saying a keyboard is required to post.

How often can you change your bnet name? This could be a better option

Then there are alot of people lying here in the GD

Any time afaik, just need to buy the service for it after you use the free one i think

you talking about the active sub part? for awhile that was true but it was a bug and people could post on this forum without a sub but they fixed that well over 6 months ago, maybe a year.

I can get behind this then, at least they would have to pay a fee to change it then.

Most of the trolls and hatefulness I see comes from max level characters though, in my experience.

You need a subscription to be able to post on the forums. This is impossible.
