Agreed, been flagged and account on hold twice for disagreeing with high elf supporters, people flagging left right and center is crazy nowadays.

They should fix that then.

Also make it so you cant use alts to like your own posts because why the hell can you do that?

LOL right?! I learned of this not too long ago when someone else told me and was floored that it exists.

I dont flag posts at all, unless they’re blatantly breaking rules.

I’m just saying that people want some way to express how much they dislike certain posts, and if flagging is the only way, they’re gonna abuse it.

What do likes mean besides counting toward trust levels though? Do they actually mean anything when you see that something got 20 likes?

get this through your head

they used a third party forum software

discourse is a community driven forum software…KEYWORD COMMUNITY DRIVEN

Why exactly do you seem to have an attitude with everyone exactly?

Except flagging isn’t the way. Not giving it likes and saying “I disagree” is how we do it. Which is why we have to teach this! :slightly_smiling_face:

Reddit has been telling people the downvote isnt a disagree button for 10+ years and it hasnt sunk in, so I dont have much hope on this front.

I appreciate the effort, but unless it’s actually something blizz is against, and they enforce it, I really don’t see it stopping.

The forum software still swaps toons in and out whenever I log on to the forums. No rhyme or reason for which toon the software chooses.

We share that opinion though. I sincerely loved that movie. It’s not really liked, but I personally thought it was excellent and super cool. Not many agree there though, including the critics. I just shrug and let myself enjoy it anyway!

On your phone or on your computer? It might be a chaching issue. Maybe go through and delete all cookies and cache and try again?

Can you point to a post that was inappropriately flagged? Every buried post I have seen so far seemed to be legitimately trolling or an inappropriately linked profanity laden link.

I logged out just recently because someone told me that’d update my level to be correct, and when I logged back in I was on a character I’ve never once posted on before.

Caps lock usually indicates irritation or anger since it’s the keyboarding equivalent of yelling… then you say things like “get this through your head”… do you need a hug?
