Question for forum moderators

No doubt people would ABUSE THE HECK out of account-wide ignores.

How could this be abused?

How does someone abuse account wide ignore? Like they use it and then the person they ignored can’t alt hop to get around it and that abuses the person who can’t alt hop?

[Fuzzbutt-zuljin]

Oh oh oh but now jesus is woke, froot loops, trump, the weather… what else.

I follow a page on threads that points it all out lol

[Boredumb-alexstrasza]

And if people don’t want their btags visible to other players, there could be alias option.

@Cäpslöck-proudmoore

Would be great if there were any evidence of this existing besides various tinfoil hat theories

Not sure if I should be happy or insulted that I’ve never been asked to join

Why are you lying?! You literally run one of them.

hilarious theyre denying it…THAT poster is THE one I have quoted who literally admited the entire thing lol

S: “the amusing part is that that server has kept to itself for ages now. When it first went live, we had issues with people ranting about the forums …that ended once the rules were posted and there hasnt been drama since”

EXACTLY as I said. I was there. I saw it with my own eyes.
its the dishonesty that makes it all so funny.

[Forums-skeram]

They can’t alt hop, but it won’t prevent those who multibox and post on multiple accounts from doing their thing. But abuse, I’m curious on that one.

@Fuzzbutt-zuljin

Big oof if so.

I’d point a finger but probably get flagged for calling someone out. If you look you can find it.

[Starlagosa-dentarg (Starlagosa)]

@Forums-skeram

A poster is a poster whether they’re classic or not. If you don’t agree with them, you don’t have to reply. If you feel they’re a nuisance, you can simply put them on your ignore list. Separating doesn’t really accomplish anything.

Nah, classic alts belong on their own forum.

[Forums-skeram]

What about classic mains? A poster is still a poster. I’ve never understood any logic in any reason people comment about classic players.

[Fuzzbutt-zuljin]

I mean… i have mine? Its just memes and cats with a venting channel to scream into.

Oh and cooking. Cooking is cool.

[Attimis-moon-guard]

Easily, actually.

Take a new user creating a thread that was already posted many times. “Beating a dead horse”.

We’ll call that user “X”.

Another user finds said thread and grows easily irritated. Which has occurred more than times counted on this place.

We’ll call that user “Y”.

Y ends up seeing a WHOLE BUNCH OF X’s and begins to start account-wide ignores for every X posting the same crap.

Results will be an echo chamber.

[Forums-skeram]

That’s not really abuse. That’s just Y being foolhardy.

@Audreeana-hydraxis

Nothing is really going to change here. The CMs barely visit the forums as it is. They show up to post patch notes and wipe out flags a couple times a day then disappear. The one CM that forgot to hide their profile has like a total read time of 2 hours in the last calendar quarter.

I can believe this as I’ve definintely noticed a marked reduction in moderation of GD. Occasionally the CS reps from the CS forum get dragged into here. But by and large, there’s a lot less CS monitoring on GD then there was a couple years ago. As for the class and other forums, those haven’t had a CS rep monitor them in a looooooooong time. I don’t think a CS rep has entered the OCE forum in centuries.

Isn’t that…isn’t that the point? To let people ignore the people they don’t want to interact with?

How is that abuse?

[Starlagosa-dentarg (Starlagosa)]

This is for retail, not classic topics.

[Primalmatter-stormrage (Primalmatter)]

I can’t see how… I guess you could find alts easier but its never been hard.

I can’t see the abuse angle. Is it the horror of people insulating themselves,?

[Baelstar-stormrage]

“rampage”…?

[Çarini-illidan]

There’s already another 2 threads started in the last 5 minutes regarding this subject lmao

[Fuzzbutt-zuljin]

Oh god welp lol
