I guess it was more than 6 months ago, little over a year on the texture one, but here is them changing their stance on the texture update banwave. There was a separate post where they announced the ban itself.
I would have to find the post where they talked about having just made a ban wave on cheaters but they have been making posts about ban waves. Not sure where they said they would stop doing that.
The only numbers I am aware of Blizzard not making public anymore were sub numbers.
Exactly.

This is a third party system so I don’t expect any fixes or changes.
You’re telling me that 100’s + of players who abuse the system because they didn’t like someone’s opinion will be punish ? I feel like that’s not good enough . Something more must be done to fix the problem towards players who don’t like other people’s opinion .
This. Public naming and shaming may not be “professional” but by Jove it works. Back in vanilla I maintained a thread of names of ninja looters. I was the sole arbiter on who got on the list. Even the mods used my list. Try doing something like that now and say bye bye to your account.
Nope. People who troll don’t care if you ignore them because there are always more people to troll. What you are describing is called “appeasement”
No. If everyone who was offended, annoyed by what they perceive as a troll would just ignore them and move on, the problem would be solved.
What you said sounds as if you’d like to control/punish them. I don’t think anyone has that right just for saying things that might upset a few.
The opposite is true. Allowing malicious trolls to overrun a forum with weak moderation is exactly what internet vandals want.
The adult thing to do is report posters who have violated posting rules, not encourage them to break the rules by pretending nothing could possibly go wrong.
Go ahead, and I guarantee everyone’s unpopular opinion will not be safe from the shrimp storm that is GD.
Besides you already know someone’s post isn’t favorable when they don’t have the most likes.
Flagging was only for the purpose of mitigating very bad behavior, but the recent exploits of flagging is to why I am not optimistic the downvote feature will do any better.
some time during WoD iirc.
…it was around the same time when they stopped outright banning, and switched to the suspension volcano.
A lot of the people that are false flagging seriously need to grow up.
Specially when it comes to having a different opinion.
"Omg, someone doesn’t agree with me. REPORTED! "
They are intolerant of differences. Sometimes to the extreme, that’s why they want an ability to punish others not like them.
Or we just discipline people who abuse the system instead of the people who said something that the mental five-year-olds don’t like to hear.
They won’t do that.
Of course they won’t, but that’s what they should do.
I will actually upvote people I disagree with if they are polite and I understand their logic.
My post got recently flagged (and restored) by helf fanbois. System ain’t perfect but at least it’s reviewed before getting tossed, which is more than what happens with In-game reports, not only in WoW but any Blizzard game.
lol, wut ?
When you own blizzard entirely, you get to make these kind of silly rules. There would be no discussion of value on this forum if everyone could go around telling people how dumb, stupid, ignorant, idiotic, etc happening.
Really? You think they like get suspended from the forum?
wait, I thought you said you could only flag someone for threat of death or bodily harm. How is that going to stop bullying? Instead of flagging you, they will just come right out and bully you.
lol, and you think what you suggest would be fun for people other than the bullies?
I didnt even read it. Just flagged it.
lol
