Many of the sub forums are filled with off topic posts, most of which have been flagged as such by me or my friends, but the posts are still littering the forums.
Please either remove the off topic flag, or have someone actually do something about it, because right now people are posting random stuff and nothing is being done about it.
Examples?
If enough people flag, a post will be hidden and/or unlisted.
The problem is that most people don’t bother opening posts that obviously have nothing to do with WOW, so they don’t get flagged enough.
Over the past year I think I’ve only seen two posts moved and the rest have had nothing done because people weren’t opening / flagging them.
Okay, but you’re not really giving any information to track down this issue. Which subforum? What are any of these off-topic posts about? Can you link examples?
There is not a single issue to track down. These forums are not being actively monitored and have become a garbage dump of worthless and useless posts. Blizzard is relying on a poorly designed flagging system and the users to police the forums and that has never worked for any company as far as I know. We are not Blizzards employees and should NOT be responsible for monitoring the forums, That is their job and they are not doing it.
The only game forums I know of that don’t have this problem are the ones for LoTRO, because the community managers over there actually check the posts every day and people are banned after breaking the rules once. Blizzards forums have become worse than the Reddit forums, which is a pretty impressive accomplishment if you ask me.
So that’s a “no” on just one example of what you’re trying to call attention to? Got it.
