One person was removed for making personal discord, advertising it as a way to reach the Council (it was not and nobody on the Council was behind it), and having it full of unmoderated inappropriate stuff.
Are you sure about that? Just listened to a pod cast from 2 former members who got the old boot to the curb. So who’s not telling the truth? You or them?
Blizzard and me. The only person removed was the first one I referenced. The other person is not on the Council and never was. I did double check with the CMs before saying that just to be sure something odd was not going on.
I don’t know if the streamer was misled or just knew and went with it.
And you are going to trust a company that has harassed women for how long? And won’t can the CEO who has done and allowed a bad work environment to exist?
In this case, yes. The Community Council forum group list is viewable to everyone in the Council. We can all check it to see who was in and who is no longer in. It was one person. The other guy is not a name anyone recognizes.
Secret group? Interesting. Love the direction activision is taking all these games. Keep 99% of the player bases in the dark on everything and then get upset when sales are in the dump.
Nothing secret. The forums let you sort by group. So people in Trust Level 1 can see the trust level one people. Same for everything else. Recently they seem to have updated it so that if you are not in a gorup you can’t use the forum software to view that forum grouping.
The Council forum is open and viewable. All the intro posts are there.
Please keep in mind that all of the contents of this forum are publicly visible. Only Council members and Blizzard representatives can post here. So maybe not secret. But very selective. Isn’t that like segregation? Only those that blizz like can get in???
Trust levels are a participation system on the forums. The more you post, like, reply, read, and visit the forums, the more you work your way to a higher trust level. Increased Trust levels grant additional privileges. Everyone who is new starts off at Trust Level 0 but will quickly climb by reading and visiting the forums within their first few days.
Cafe has the right links The name of the forum software package is Discourse. Having trust levels prevents level nothing new accounts from spamming the forums with website advertisements and bad sites.
Just read things, like things, reply once in a while, and don’t get suspended from the forums. It takes a long time though to reach TL3. TL2 is pretty easy.
Can the council bothered to talk about the Pandaren? Their future as a race, a better heritage armor then a blue/red colorized version (which will happen, like they did it in the past) and perhaps if they should turned into a true neutral race which can access both Alliance and Horde places to increase their appeal?
