Question for forum moderators

I think the issue is twofold:

  1. There are a lot more people now than there were before, thus increasing the potential for stupid behaviour.
  2. The Internet and mass distribution of recording devices have enabled more recent generations to expose their stupidity on a far wider scale than older ones.

So it’s not that the newer generations are appreciably dumber. There’s just more of them and they’re more exposed than the older ones were.

While technology has made things better, I do agree, it definitely has brought out the degeneracy of many folks. I know each person’s experiences will vary but I can say, long ago, we did not need signs in my office that said “do not lick this wall”.

Anyway, back on topic. Thank you

Dumb people before the internet just weren’t as visible.

But they existed.

Profusely licking the Orc “What degeneracy? Nothing to see here!”

Fun fact, mental handicaps in Medieval Europe, or even just faking a mental condition, could make one VERY rich, as King’s Fools (what modern pop culture calls a COurt Jester) made INSANE money for the time. Also they could give the king war strategem and even insult him to his face almost always without conesquence.

That’s exactly what the part you quoted was saying!

Well that’s one of them. Even the “unofficial” one has the same problem. People who say it doesn’t happen have either not seen it, are just regurgitating what they’ve read others say, or are one of them trying to get people to think it doesn’t happen.

Are you only looking at modern history. Because there were times in human history where people were cruel, violent and there were much worse crimes against human nature than today.

Who cares about discords. Blizzard can’t do anything about them and there are no “official” ones. What is the point of arguing about something Blizzard has no ability to control?

The topic is about the forums and the fact is that flagging doesn’t do anything aside from hiding the post that players can still click and read. It only gets removed for breaking ToS or through connected pruning.

I know exactly who you’re talking about and there is without a doubt some degenerate clique they’re part of.

You’re still here??

I’m glad OP’s post got attention about the rampant spamming, false flagging in this forum.

Anything that offends their personal sensibilities, is opposite of their opinion, they hop on discord and mobilize. it’s quite cringe. It’s ALWAYS the same crowd.

What’s even worse is, this same group is against any form of PVE accessibility.

Doesn’t matter the topic. They live on the forums. Anything posted here personally hurts them if it goes against the grain, hence the auto-flagging, spamming, derailing.

I can’t believe Blizzard is letting these same 4-5 people run rampant when they’re literally responsible for every single one of our problems

What do you expect when you create a system that encourages it?

That’s grrrrreeeeaaat… he feigns interest as he tries to forcibly fit the Zandalari in a soup pot
