High Elf POSITIVITY Thread 😎

That’s definitely my preference!

I know this has been said before, but I think the night elves need another race that they bond with, even more than the Gilneans. Their bond with Gilneas is t a bad one, but as far as kin, the high elves and night elves have that.

Hence why players seem to get upset when they get modded, because they don’t think about what the rules acually are vs what they think they should be able to do.

And yeah there are a load of players who pretty much seem to get to say whatever they want, and sometimes they disappear but then they are right back to it in a few days/weeks and that’s what ends up feeding the bad behavior of other players. Some don’t seem to catch the attention of mods at all.

From my perspective? That ship sailed a long time ago for me personally.

Well there’s a whole load of us and only a few of the mods. The problem with trying to moderate a large forum.

Would be nice, but we tried that before, always seems to go off the rails.

Well we used to have at least 4 very active CMs once upon a time. They’d edit posts and note it, they would lock threads and leave a note as to why, etc. Players actually cared back then too because it was more of “I will lose all of my posting privileges if I say this” vs “I will get a silence that extends repeatedly, but I will be back!” situation.

Yep I am guilty of that line of thinking. Like my posts about putting “you know who and their army of alts” on ignore. Sure enough “you know who and friends” flagged my posts as trolling and they got removed.

Still I have to say this topic is a much more enjoyable read now that we have the ignore function back :slight_smile:

I don’t know the situation so I won’t comment on that, but I don’t jump around to flag players and I don’t flag just to flag. I didn’t before they decided they needed to deal with it.

4 is still way too few to deal with the sheer volume of these forums if you wanted to keep ahead of things rather than relying on tickets. They’re spread too thin to do more than just respond to tickets probably.

I don’t typically flag people outside of clearly abusive behavior. I just want to be able to talk about playable Alliance High Elves, and how we might get them in game, without being bombarded by negativity. The ignore function allows me to do that and I heartily recommend anyone else who doesn’t want to see the negativity posted by “certain individuals” make swift use of it.

And remember, swapping to an alt to bypass ignore on the forums to bother someone who has you on ignore is harassment, just as it would be if you you use an alt to bypass ignore to bother someone in game.

Well considering how rampant trolling is now vs then, I would say they did a pretty good job so I don’t think it was too much. Maybe the CMs themselves back then were the answer.

And there are a ton of employees that have ties to these forums. Many more than players realize.

I don’t think the CMs/mods are also in charge of tickets though, unless you are talking about forum appeals.

Maybe don’t break the rules and you won’t get punished?

I think they have different groups of CM’s that deal with different parts of Blizzard’s communications.

And also, Good morning everyone, how are we all today?

I should have said flags, just meant that they don’t seem to have the numbers to go out and find problem posts on their own as opposed to reacting when things are pointed out.
