This post was about ignoring forum users with private profiles, correct?

LFGâs posts were voicing support for Anti-RDF in the midst of a Pro-RDF wave of pressure on Blizzard, correct?
Tfw no one else agrees with you
DUDE, THAT MUTING OPTION IS MONEY.
Tracking > Muted
Holy crap. GAME CHANGER

Dunno, ask everyone else here. If they agree, sure!
So moderation only applies when the person is doing something considered unpopular against the rules (by an arbitrary group of like 12 forum regulars). GOT IT.
Ty for your clarification on that stance.
You can keep being a wise guy, but youâre literally doing the exact same thing LFG does hahaha, hiding behind technicalities.
Youâre the one who said it was subjective.
Thatâs basically how moderation against trolling has to work, if trolling is subjective as you say.

Only if people actually use it, which I doubt they will.
Sure, but a handy little PSA on a new thread listing options for people who do not wish to engage never hurts!

I, too, can respond to a random part of a random post of yours from 45 minutes ago because I donât want to respond to your last one.
Youâre like the textbook definition of pride
Except I did.
It started out as a handy PSA, but it has quickly turned into a witch hunt and harassment of another user.
Youâre following âprinciplesâ way too blindly and robotically. Yes, biases are bad, and creating victims based on immutable traits is horrible. But weâre talking about moderation based on reputation and allowing communities to voice what they want to allow on their platform. It isnât âbig techâ or âtyrannyâ or whatever if a community collectively decides theyâre sick of a bad actor, sends reports to moderation, and the person gets banned or some other punishment. Itâs one thing if itâs completely automated and x number of flags = ban no matter what, but when you can actually read what LFG says/what he does, itâs extremely clear to anyone who isnât playing devilâs advocate that heâs just here to grief.

People could also just, you know, ignore/report/not engage the trolls too.
Technology doesnât have to take the wheel on everything. Be adults.
What other user? Nobody said a single name until a defender decided to name someone.
We were all choosing whoever we wanted and were thankful for the information.
I dont need to list anyone by name, I have added 15 names to the list and will now mute threads on my own volition.

You answered your own question:
and after naming someone, accusations start flooding in. This is why when someone gets named, it usually ends up in thread deletion. It almost always starts a witch hunt and harassment. Note, Iâm not accusing you of anything, just merely commenting on my observations of what the thread generally has led to.

No, just like youâve been doing the whole time, you responded (in an edit) to one tiny bit of it, totally out of context of what I was saying. Seriously, these tactics and the unwillingness to concede that youâre logically inconsistent in your desire for unequal moderation, and to use every excuse in the book for one person then say âdonât believe LFGâs excuses! Heâs using technicalities and deserves to be bannedâ are ridiculous. There is NOTHING coming out of you in good faith, except your clear dislike for LFG. Talk about blatant utilitarianism, ew.
I like you Confidence, genuinely. Iâve talked to you a bit on here and think youâre a nice person.
However, what I quoted isnât true. The guy is here to be a contrarian and get attention. Thatâs it. Not to fight for a cause. Even if you agree with some of what he says. You can see thatâs true once you find comments that contradict.
There are other threads where people who donât want RDF are being totally honest with their reasons and are not just trying to stir stuff up.
⌠and on the topic of the thread the only thing the OP could have done differently is to use a random name to blurt out but Iâm pretty sure this was meant to be a simple education thread. People have been asking how to ignore posters the whole time Iâve been here (3 years) and this overall is good information with the screenshots.
There is nothing wrong at all with ignoring trolls, this is the way things should be done as they feed on attention. Thereâs also nothing wrong with using the ignore feature for anyone you donât want to hear from.
Thatâs all I really wanted to say, itâs nice to see you defending people but I donât agree with your direction on this one. Honest and real posters are being bullied in other threads, it would be better to defend them.

It absolutely shouldnt be deleted. The person trying to defend started naming.
None of us violated anything. Ban the defender, delete their post and move on.

And paints anyone who agrees with that person as an âalt?â Yeah, heâs got a lot of alts, but there are a hell of a lot of people who agree with the Anti-RDF sentiments.
Yes, itâs extremely clear what heâs doing. And if you want to ban him for that? Go ahead. But itâs also abundantly clear what the OP of this thread is doing, and itâs the same thing as LFG. So ban him/her/other, too.
I donât think either should be banned, but then again, Iâm not the one calling for the ban of one but not the other
