It was the case, it’s been stated by multiple devs, current and former, repeatedly.
The “No LGBTQ Guild Allowed” thing was a few years ago too, and since changed.
But neither incident should’ve happened.
I mean that works too. I’m saying the entire system of MVP shouldn’t be limited to the Forums, but rather the whole system should be overhauled and expanded.
Hmm true cuz you need to accept the friend request for them to see what you’re playing and whatnot.
Sold, Battletag works 
Reason why I was thinking of a Forum ID system is that each player can have a “WoW Forum Profile”, so players can use (or not) if they so desire.
e.g. maybe a player is a role player and wants to show it off
or maybe the profile can add little “flags” for achievements you can add if you want
or you designate which of your characters is your “main”
Minor social media component.
Yes, they are fishers.
I’m suggesting revamping the system such that the fish can also speak and talk to the fishermen, as working groups for specific topics.
e.g. I don’t know jack about PVE or PVP, but “warlock fantasy” and I’m your guy, and I’ve put a lot of effort into that for the community for many years going back to when we were asking for Green Fire, and most recently for Warlock Pet Customization
I assume you for example were designated as an MVP for a specific reason, some part of the game, that you could be used for consulting for the CMs for specific feedback.
A talking fish, in the metaphor.
