There is nothing hidden or unknown in a post - it is clear to see whether it breaks the CoC or not. People have the ability to make posts because they are presumed capable of doing so without breaking the CoC. So I have no idea where your
comes into play.
no there isnt and their wont be you can log on to 20 alts and flag some one you dont like.
what blizzard does is get the flag notification read the flagged posts then agree to ban you and thats it.they dont check who makes the flags.
having people just post on one battletag id like the rest of their forums, would solve so many problems that are occurring just because people can switch characters. Ever notice some of the really nasty posts on this forum come from one post characters, that is because people switched from a character associated with them to make them.
The problem is this: How do you KNOW or PROVE someone is a false flagger? Hm? I mean their view or interpretation of the thread in question is entirely subjective is it not? Can Blizzard dictate what ones opinion SHOULD BE about a certain thread?
This is why the downvote was more intuitive and sensical.
Actually agree, itās disturbing that this forum has adopted the Socialist mechanism of governance.
I donāt know I think it might be faster to make use of people reports so mods donāt have to read all the threads.
Yet this forum allows a āmobā rule mentality to silence people.
The horrible moderation practices only encourages people to use multiple accounts to avoid the mob mentality present on the forums.
Heh, bingo.
This is not true at all since I had to open a ticket and talk to a GM who they deemed I wasnāt breaking any TOS, so they then un-silenced me for being false flagged. However, you stated that since I put this in my OP, that I was going to be reported again, so that is what I edited out of my OP and you already know I wasnāt in the wrong, but you keep saying I am to push your own false narrative.
I feel posters come into threads already expecting to be offended. Theyāll accept any sign to hit report, despite how twisted their logic maybe.
It is not just this forum but any forum that has reporting tools. I just wonder what people want when it comes to moderation. It is just interesting that people are calling for more moderation when it is topics they donāt agree with. They want to use āofficialā moderation to silence people.
People always talk about āmobā rule when it is people that do not share the same opinions or thoughts. It is never mob rule when they are a part of the mob.
You canāt really be part of the mob when you arenāt part of the group flagging for difference of opinion.
I donāt have any narrative. Your narrative, however, is pretty blatant. Itās a sweeping story where youāre the poor, oppressed soul that just wants to be heard.
You were reported, correctly, for trolling. A GM agreed that it was trolling and silenced you. You appealed the silence, and another GM (or the first oneās boss) decided to retract it. Nowhere in there did a āfalse flagā take place.
I pointed out that in your OP talking about this action technically violated the CoC. That wasnāt to threaten you, but to point out that thereās many things that someone can report under the current rules. And that many of them are subjective and thereās absolutely no point in calling for people to be banned for āfalse flagginā (seriously, youāve said that so many times itās got to be losing any meaning by now) when they are in fact following the written rules of this forum.
I guarantee you that whatever āsideā you consider yourself to be a part of is doing the exact same thing.
Considering I donāt flag people for having a difference of opinion, Iām going to go with āno, not really.ā
Unfortunately not. I believe it is all automated based on how many flags per post. If it breaks the rules then they look into and can result in removal and/or a warning, suspension or ban. But for those who just flag a post because they donāt agree with you then there is no repercussion to the fake flags.
No one cares
Are you actually using an organized stunt set up by Asmongold intending to abuse the reporting system by having hundreds of his minions report him at the same time as representative of actual forum behavior?
I take this as an indication that the poster to whom you are responding does practice that behavior and thinks others do also.
I only flag for spam dead horse threads or highly offensive topics that have nothing to do with wow. Maybe one flag a week.
If youāve posted the same topic 10 times in the past 2 days, and itās being flagged as spam, it just might be spam.
When it comes to these āmobsā with multiple alts to falsely flag any opposing view point, I can see where the system is failing in a similar fashion.
Actually a false flag did take place, and in my other example it happened four times on this OP by being falsely flagged as spam by the people that abuse the system that opposed this view point and then restored 4 times by GMās.
I think the people flagging and banning posts for no reason should be fired.
