I had a thread about Battletags with 7k posts that dissapeared overnight. It was flagged February 1st and was never unflagged or moderated for 30 days.
I have had threads get 404d before and they always come with a notification and a message explaining the action/sanction.
There was no notification this time.
I’m wondering if you can restore the thread or look into why it went missing.

This was the thread.
If you still have a thread link you should paste it here and maybe the SFA’s can look into it.
Good idea thanks.

Not exactly. From what I can see it was allowed to continue for some time.
There were several posts in the last month that were reported and moderated accordingly, being either restored or deleted depending on if the post was found in violation or not.
If I had to guess, given the volume of contention taking place in these discussions, it was becoming too toxic to continue so Moderation finally decided to shut it down.
If you wish to appeal the deletion though, you’ll want to submit an appeal. A Moderator can review it.
With that said, I can tell you we’re already very much aware of the limitations of the current version of the forums and we want to update them. That isn’t as easily said as done though and “revamping” aesthetics is not at all similar to back-end functionality that was built into these forums which essentially needs to be rebuilt to accommodate new functionality.
Thank you for the response. I will take your word for it and let rest and not appeal it.
And quote me everywhere, apparently. 
Hope you don’t mind, what you said is good news to me.
Yeah, might be good for moderators to check that thread for personal insults and misinformation like them saying your quote means you’re adding btag to the forums in the future.
I don’t. I just got a couple of notices and was like… O.o
Aye. That I understand. 
I know this may seam like a silly question but when we link you like that… you get some kind of notification ya?
I know if I get quoted or linked in something I get a little updoot on my notifications thing. Was just curious
And that answers that question LOL XD
Yes, it works the same for me.
I tend to creep on General Discussion when that happens. 
I suspect you may see many topics on the point of btags unless there’s some sort of formal declaration or announcement on you or your masters behalf.
I specifically said it does not mean they are doing that. Who is the one spreading misinformation?
Ah lol got you.
That is very likely, and a civil discussion on the topic is generally fine. I think the last thread got a little out of hand.
That was my guess too
Much mud was thrown and it got personal. Rather messy. If people just argue discuss the ideas instead that helps. What gets frustrating is people who misrepresent information (intentional or not) and continue to do so.
I don’t care if they go to Btags or a WoW forum ID. It is nice to see public statements that the team knows the shortcommings of the forums, and wants changes, if they can get them done.
This 100%. Even though the thread got removed there were many genuine discussions where some people who misunderstood BattleTags had their opinions changed. We even taught someone that they had RealID enabled and helped them disable it.
The frustration is absolutely with the bad faith actors who continue to spread misinformation intentionally or those who specifically do so while sock puppeting. Luckily one of them seemed to have been sanctioned.
While I know this isn’t the place to further discuss this, many of us worked hard to keep our WoW character identities on the new forums. I’d hate to see that get erased. I’d rather see Btags underneath or just Btags under our names with limitations for flagging and liking.
Sorry, Vrak.
leaves quietly
Please keep this nonsense from here, especially if you have to resurrect a 2 month old thread.
This is not a feedback forum. If you want to give feedback on how the WoW forums are set up, you’ll want to do that on General Discussion or possibly here: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/blizzard/c/support-site-feedback/20
