Trust level on the forums?

[Dumbeldorf-stormrage (Dumbeldorf)]

There is talk I have read from the CM’s where they are talking about a forgiveness of some sort that you could obtain a higher trust level depending on the severity of what you did to get suspended but that hasn’t been determined on whether or not it will be initiated.

Yeah, it is pretty stupid that just because you get a suspension you can never attain trust level 3.

Yeah especially when all someone has to do that has it in for you is to get a couple of friends to go along with them and flag your post as “Trolling” or etc to get us suspended; That’s why I think the CM’s said what they did so that people can get reinstated depending on the severity of the suspension.

Yup. Exactly. It’s a lopsided system and the rules only apply sometimes to some people. The whole thing feels very juvenile.

It has to break the CoC in some way as well, it just isn’t people don’t like a post.

HA Ha ha.

No.

There is a generic link to the CoC, followed by a "Reason: " field when you get your e-mailed alert. I used to think that field was a pre-defined drop-down that they had to use, but the last one was a humdinger of a personally-worded reason.

lost my trust level 3 for calling someone with limited reading comprehension a fool. Not joking. If you get reported and it passes you lose your trust level. So you better be ready to be on your best behaviour because from what I heard I can’t get it back

Also dont post the poop emoji my post was flagged and moderated because of that emoji.

We should have a list for things you cant post not stated in the rules/faq.

If they don’t want people to post poop emoji, perhaps it shouldn’t even be an option.

I would have assumed that anything in the default emoji list would be okay to use, and I’d be pretty pissed if there was action on my account because of something that was sitting in the emoji list, available for use.

I liked that image so much I posted it again.

They don’t even need to get their friends to do it, all they have to do is log into all their alts and have them all downvote the same person.

The system is completely broken.

What are trust levels in the forums and what do you get for being a higher level?

[Zulzamba-wyrmrest-accord (Zulzamba)]

I just meant that I have been reading these forums since 2004, when the backgrounds were things like Ashenvale or on the general forums, it was Tirisfal Glades in the banner thing. I just meant my trust level after 15 years should be so high that Vegeta’s trust scouter should explode when he tries to register my trust level. My mind probably went to that old idea because it was thinking back 15 years, but you get the idea.

I get it. But the whole “trust level” is something new since the entire forum software is different. And all it does is open some minor actions that previously a person couldnt even do. Posting pictures (that people rarely do anyways) is really the only thing to miss out on.

• by the way everyone, YOU’RE WELCOME! lol I am glad we succeeded and did not wind up playing little mini manlet Zandas. That has to be worthy of trust! But yeah, yeah, it’s the software, yadda yadda.

Six degrees of Kevin Bacon was also fun.

I’m sorry, but 6 degrees is way too cold to cook any kind of bacon!

Zandalari are very short plz change - World of Warcraft Forums

3/15/2018 Thank you to everyone for helping us with this campaign, and a HUGE thank you to Blizzard and their amazing artists for helping make the Zandalari vision come to life. The community sees that you are taking this lore from Loa to culture as…

I don’t trust tall people. Always looking down on me.

Can confirm they ban over use of emojis, not just the poop one.

Not necessarily. You can get it overturned if it was falsely reported but I’m pretty sure the silence is automated.

[Bloodplay-galakrond (Bloodplay)]

If you speak the harsh truth you can kiss any trust level aspirations goodbye. This is an echo chamber. Assimilate or enjoy being ostracized!

[Crepe-drenden (Crepe)]

I think that would be better stated “if you speak the ‘truth’ harshly.”

People speak the “harsh” truth around here all the time without any consequences. However, people speak inappropriately with consequences.

There’s nothing wrong with the truth. How you state it can adversely affect how that truth is received.

@Siyanati-dalaran

Must not have been suspended (including forum suspensions or in-game account actions of any Blizzard game)

I assume that means, ever… Sounds like I’m never getting level 3. Ohwell

That’s true, You would think that Blizzard in their ultimate wisdom could see this being that all the character’s on that account are tied together.

However if it were someone with multiple accounts could do it undetectable, that is unless Blizzard took it a step further and saw the same person’s name on the other accounts.
Personally I believe if someone was caught doing this with multiple accounts that they should get a perma-ban from the forums for intently flagging someone, Then maybe just let them have access to read only but allow posting in the customer service section with some type of mark on them letting the CM’s know that they are trouble makers.

[Dumbeldorf-stormrage (Dumbeldorf)]

Suspensions weren’t carried over from the old forums; Only those in violation of a suspension in the new forums or get 5 marks against them will not get TL3 or lose it if they have it.
