they will probably crack down on this eventually. the people who continue to false flag for people they disagree with are just leaving a paper trail
I doubt it.
The big round of layoffs a while back was mostly CMs and the like, I doubt they have many human moderators left to go through the reports, to be honest.
Seems like a trend lately, in general, to just automate these things - look at Youtube’s ‘content aware’ system and how much grief that causes. It’s a fine enough idea to leave it in the hands of the people, but the people exploit their power, every single time.

true. ive seen threads where if one person speaks an opinion that differs from the majority they will false flag that person to silence them. but it doesnt always work because i see that person continue to post almost every day so who knows
post (not) flagged for trolling

on a more serious note. I agree there needs to be better criteria for reporting.

You don’t know that. I personally think that garrison thread got reported for spam. And since it is a three day old thread that has been buried, it could be the moderator agreed with it. After all the guy starts out saying I know this has been discussed before and he is talking about garrisons.
Harassment is under the CoC as well but you listed that in your suggestions as is language. The categories you decided to keep as duplicates are really subjective.
The only thing I miss in there is a comments box but since the system is in a large part automated I can see why it isn’t in there.
Welcome to the new wow forums. Say something unpopular and you’ll be flagged and suspended for trolling or threatening someone’s life.

Yes, we know. It’s you.
P.S. They’re not false, you just can’t accept the fact that you’re a huge troll who does nothing but push people’s buttons all the live-long-day, exploits the system by spreading flags across half a dozen alts, and then you like to play the victim when once in a blue moon you actually get rightfully punished for your bad behavior.
It isn’t that bad and really getting a suspension for ‘threatening someone’s life’ - that is pretty clear.
I have had a post removed and then returned after the mods look at it but it was still buried so people just aren’t getting suspended because people are false flagging them.
That has happened to people I know.
Have it where the mod can track who’s false flagging the thread and afterward a 24 hrs suspension.I don’t know if that can be addressed for an account alts.
