I can see what you said, Cooperbrew. It isn’t about someone not wanting to hear the truth. When someone is seeking assistance and advice, posting to discuss the narrative that you want to “how people are abusing the system”, it isn’t necessarily seen as helping and therefore, non-constructive and trolling.
Absolutely. As long as you haven’t gotten to a permanent suspension from the forums, which takes some doing, the applied penalty drops off and allows you to earn trust level 3.
Unfortunately, there are a very large number of bad actors who take advantage, so we have to be a bit strict there.
In other words, Cooperbrew, this thread isn’t about you and your narrative. It’s about Tesalyn and providing them advice based on their question.
Just in case you missed my statement above…
Overall, if you wish to provide support or advice, Cooperbrew, that is fine and it is welcome. I’ve noticed you pop into several threads today and there hasn’t been anything wrong that I’ve seen in your comments. I was explaining why others might see your comments in this thread as trolling and report it as such.
That is not abusing the system.
If you notice, this thread seems to be mostly focused on you now? That’s the kind of thing we want to avoid. Derailing the original purpose of a thread from the subject and the player who was seeking advice.
Very well in order to keep the tread on target… I’ve deleted my comments… and maybe you (Vrakthris) should remove my quotes… I hate when people quote me… Speaking of which… just got a message saying my flagged post was restored… ironic I deleted it then it was restored…
Interesting. Thanks!
While I have you here, if I may, just wanted to ask a quick question.
Long time I go, I found a bluepost that stated that mods do in fact see if people abuse alt-posting privileges. Is this still the case? Is this something you’re allowed to confirm? I can’t seem to find that post again though.
WoW forums is really the only one out of all forums that allow multiple toon posting vs singular btag poster.
Im just asking out of curiosity. There was a recent surge of random level 20 warlocks with zero post count all saying same thing over and over. I’ve done some stalking, and even found some user pages that pretty much only like each others comments.
Thanks
Odds are good it was something I posted. I’ve commented on that before.
Yes, we can generally see if someone is using alts to make multiple reports. That is considered reporting abuse and we usually penalize accounts found doing that.
The WoW forums have always allowed players to post on their character of choice so when we adopted these new forums we wanted to make sure to bring over things that the playerbase was used to, as much as possible. Of course, other problems came about because of it, so we are looking into updates that should prevent alt abuse but it tends to be slow going.
Are you guys excited for the new “partnership” with Microsoft? I’d imagine you’re getting bunch of new cool toys down the line.
I wonder if you’re dropping some older software/applications to replace it all with MS products. xD
I honestly don’t know how much you’re even allowed to disclose or continue this chat. Blue posts are so rare these days…
If not, that’s okay. You can close this thread. I have flagged your earlier reply as solution.
Blue posts in the CS Forum isn’t, but we’re support, not community or game developers, so it is a different kettle of fish entirely.
I don’t want to dismiss your questions, but I’m not really able to comment on recent events.
Yeah that’s all right. I appreciate your comment. Let’s see if I can stay not-suspended for …6 months? xD
Whatever it is happening on the background, I hope it all works out.
I don’t play retail anymore, as Im full time classic player. But pass my thanks to the classic team if its something you can do.
Have a good weekend! Thanks
I know a few people involved in Classic, I will pass on the positives.
Blue posts in this forum are not uncommon. They are in general and other forums yes but not here.
You will not get anyone from blizzard to comment on recent events. If there is any comment I would keep a eye out in general for any official posts on any recent events. Blues that post here and other places can not comment unless it is approved ahead of time. Even then i am sure any statements are gone over about ten times before being posted.
Either way anyone who works for blizzard will not tell you what they think on here.
