I Literally got told that conversations are meant for general chat by an admin…

You mean with that thread telling everyone The War Within needs to be delayed for another 3 months?

You know where that sort of thread will lead in General Discussion forum.

Like, there is a difference between providing constructive feedback and non-constructive feedback.

Yes, the launch of the War Within Pre-patch has came up with a ton of bugs and stuff. That is normal. Sometimes, it happens when it is transitioning to the live servers. But any bugs should be reported immediately to the Bug Report Forums so the devs can look into it, and squash the bug, not a thread created in General Discussion forums stating an expansion should be delayed for a certain time-frame.

You just dont like the idea of trolls using the forum system to control the dialog

What are you even talking about? I don’t have a problem with Orcs or Trolls.

Again, you are not some sort of victim here. Maybe just give yourself a time out and think it over, unless this is really the hill you want to exhaust yourself on.

[Akúmá-area-52]

It shouldn’t be a hill or even a battle. I just wanted to talk with folks on general about if a delay was a good idea. If that hurts feelings or is disruptive then sorry. I firmly believe there are individuals who like to flag content that they dislike and abuse the reporting system in a way that gets those threads hidden.

I firmly believe there are individuals who like to flag content that upsets them.

But as explained over and over already, they can flag all they want. The best they can do is hide a post. A hidden post can still be seen so that really isn’t the end of the world.

A Moderator makes a decision based on their guidelines, not by the number of the reports for a single post, and will either remove the hidden flag, or moderate the post accordingly.

That is your opinion, but that is not a fact.

People will flag a post, if they feel the post is in violation of the Forum Code of Conduct or the Forum Guidelines.

@Akúmá-area-52

abuse the reporting system

You don’t know who is flagging you. How do you know if someone is abusing the reporting system?

Being wrong isn’t abuse, but I highly doubt those who reported you are wrong with flagging your post.

@Vrakthris

No, abuse of the reporting option would be if someone is using multiple characters or accounts to report a post. Simply reporting a post because they feel it may violate forum policies isn’t abuse.

They may not be correct in their assessment, but being wrong isn’t abuse.

This thread going nowhere fast maybe time to lock it down since the relevant info been given.

[Akúmá-area-52]

This isnt really a helpful conversation anymore and the best action is for me to drop it. I believe what I believe and you all can do the same. Thank you for keeping it civil.

I didnt do anything that violated the TOS

This post was flagged by some people:

There are so many bugs, broken systems, and not enough employees to fix it in time. I would rather a small delay instead of another mess.

Orlyia told you the following concerning that comment:

@Orlyia

While it’s fine to have an opinion, unless it’s constructive and civil it likely won’t stand. Just saying delay everything by 3 months really isn’t constructive.

@Orlyia

a blanket delay statement isn’t that helpful, especially when it comes across as more of a demand. Text is an imperfect medium sometimes to convey intent.

Your post made assumptions, did not have anything constructive and the discussion that ensued after that is irrelevant.

There is no conspiracy here. It falls under the following:

Spamming or Trolling

It’s deleted and done. We move forward and learn from the mistakes.

I am trying to but everyone either keeps agreeing with me or telling me its a conspiracy so IDK what to do.

[Kiyoko-ravenholdt]

Don’t do the thing the blue said not to do. That’s all.

[Akúmá-area-52]

I didnt think I did; hence why I wanted an example.

[Ayukama-frostmourne]

Here is an example, doing exactly what you were told not to do:

[Kiyoko-ravenholdt]

Your post complaining about a deleted post is an example as well.

[Akúmá-area-52]

Thats what confuses me, that doesnt violate any part of the TOS.

Its meant to spark civil conversation, which its doing.

Its not rude or overly negative.

So what then?

@Kiyoko-ravenholdt

Your post complaining about a deleted post is an example

Yep and that I understood, and my bad

[Kiyoko-ravenholdt]

It was creating duplicate threads and a non-constructive starter, similar to your most recent thread.

It was original post to discuss a delay wasnt a duplicate and the conversation was very constructive. So those don’t apply.

[Kiyoko-ravenholdt]

It was about bugs, which there were quite a lot of threads about at the time. And again, the blue specifically stated this as far as it being constructive:

@Orlyia

While it’s fine to have an opinion, unless it’s constructive and civil it likely won’t stand. Just saying delay everything by 3 months really isn’t constructive.

[Akúmá-area-52]

Thats the confusing part the conversation was civil and constructive. Plus it helps to discuss bugs. It helped me understand that the bank bugs didnt show in beta (honestly had no idea).

[Darthwraith-blackhand (Darthwraith)]

Bugs should only go in the bug forums its far more productive there.

[Akúmá-area-52]

That is just to report bugs, not discuss how players want them handled. The general chat is far better for that.
