Rawr#1416.

Lets see how bad this really gets.

I have such an intense urge to friend you and say, “Rawr” every time I see you log on.

[Fuzzbutt-zuljin]

Omg yes we should do that.

[Soulebreaker-hyjal]

If Blizz found there was something nefarious going on they’d suspend or ban members. They might not have seen the other topic or that you were trolling that topic.

[Khrogdenagh-sulfuras]

@Sôsari-dalaran

It’s clear they don’t know how BTags function and is intent on spreading misinformation.

@Khrogdenagh-sulfuras

If btags are added, the person harrassing the victim can simply make countless bnet accounts for free, download heroes of the storm for free, then send btag requests as a form of harrassment to the victim.

yes, i understand how btags work and people can do what i mentioned above to endlessly harrass someone in game…

just like how raimiir called for a mass false flagging of this thread… what would raimiir have done to me if he had my btag? It’s terrifying to think about raimiir having my btag!!!

[Soulebreaker-hyjal]

What’s the other recent topic like it?

[Sôsari-dalaran]

@Khrogdenagh-sulfuras

yes, i understand how btags work

It’s clear that you think you know, but you don’t.

Blue Post:

The forum still allow sock puppeting

I’m going to try to provide a bit of clarity here on a few things. The normal functionality of the forums allow for a single user to post from an account. This is how all of our other game forums work (i.e. Overwatch, StarCraft, Diablo, etc…). That is the original functionality. The World of Warcraft forums have always allowed player to post using their characters, showing their class, realm, link to their achievements and experience, etc… When we were switching to a new forum system we wante…

[Soulebreaker-hyjal]

Fake news.

[Myzrym-area-52]

You know what is also fake news? That sock puppeting is a major problem that requires btags to address it.

@Vrakthris

Just to clarify, because I see my quote from when I talked about this subject used here and there. Sockpuppeting does happen, it isn’t very common, but it isn’t extremely rare either.

What my comment previously on this subject was indicating was that in many of the cases that I’ve looked into, the people accusing others of being alts of X or Y character have almost always been wrong.

[Liqq-sulfuras]

I ignore chat anyways so I really don’t care if it gets added.

[Sôsari-dalaran]

It specifically says that it isn’t extremely rare. What’s between very common and extremely rare?

Common

[Myzrym-area-52]

It specifically says that folks like you are almost always wrong when making accusations of sock puppeting.

For example, the half dozen or so times I was accused of being a sock puppet in the other thread, which were 100% wrong each and every time.

[Soulebreaker-hyjal]

I never said it was a major problem, but it is a problem. They also say in that very thread that it’s not that rare either. And are planning ways of dealing with it.

Btags are the best way.

[Zengin-mankrik]

r u an anti’s alt?

[Akston-area-52]

@Khrogdenagh-sulfuras

i clearly explain how adding btags to the forums will enable harrassment…

@Akston-area-52

Every single argument against btags is based on one of two things

A) Not knowing what btags are/how they work
B) Some fringe hypothetical situation that wont realistically occur…ever

[Pogroquikd-area-52]

@Myzrym-area-52

It specifically says that folks like you are almost always wrong when making accusations of sock puppeting.

What about those with absolutely no shame who make accusations of sock puppeting against others while sock puppeting themselves.

[Myzrym-area-52]

That was happening in the other thread, people on second accounts bumping the OP in support while making false accusations about others, so probably almost always wrong as well.

[Fuzzbutt-zuljin]

What other thread? o-o

[Pogroquikd-area-52]

@Myzrym-area-52

That was happening in the other thread, people on second accounts bumping the OP in support while making false accusations about others, so probably almost always wrong as well.

I noticed, which is wondering what sort of angle they are trying to play. It isn’t just simple trolling. They have an agenda.

[Raiimir-stormrage]

@Myzrym-area-52

that blues have already addressed it

@Vrakthris

but it isn’t extremely rare either.

They did and it defeats your argument.

@Myzrym-area-52

If this thread is spam then so is the other one

But defination only one thread can be a duplicate. It’s the one made later.

[Fuzzbutt-zuljin]

We haven’t seen the T virus on the forums in a while either. The Ts the T squad whatever you wanna call em.
