good points on both sides of this conversation. but not worth having a scuffle over it

[Morician-wyrmrest-accord (Morician)]

In other news I got to pet a fluffy doggo today. It was very soothing

[Myorga-wyrmrest-accord]

Was this IRL or in game?

[Morician-wyrmrest-accord (Morician)]

IRL. One of the professors in the education building brought his dog to work. She was a very good girl.

[Faolana-emerald-dream (Faolana)]

A DOG?!?
/gasp

I just wish I knew if the trust feature only applies to one avatar or all of them. I am a ADHD poster I’ll swap avatars so quick and be using all these different names, but if only some get trusted levels, that’s somethings I gotta work on. Raveintis here is my poster for helping people with lore, but he has very little rp roles often. Will he get a higher trust or the active rp avatars I use?

[Faolana-emerald-dream (Faolana)]

I have no idea, who knows? That makes me nervous too >.<

[Myorga-wyrmrest-accord]

Since I’m a former sysadmin of a dead forum I’ll weigh in with my Discourse Expert hat on.

From the technical side of things, each WoW character appears to be considered as a separate user. So provided you don’t get reported for silly things and you keep your posts of high quality, then you’ll probably gain more trust on your RP toons and your lore toon will suffer from a lower trust level. I do not like this approach at all. The admins here need to change the configs so that all toons on an account link back to a central system that determines the trust level. Hopefully they have plans for this…

[Morician-wyrmrest-accord (Morician)]

I believe trust levels are locked to the specific avatar right now, and are not accountwide. That may change in the future.

[Myorga-wyrmrest-accord]

You are correct. Discourse is flexible enough that your WoW account can be used to determine the trust level of all your toons instead of the one that does the majority of the posting.

On the forum I was the admin of, we linked everything back to a central account and had the players designate a MAIN character that all posts would occur under.

/me sips cold coffee

“Ah dangit…I left it out again.”

/me looks at the clock and sees 15 minutes left

/sigh

/me blinks and looks at the clock again.

“It’s go time!”

/me tosses the cup of cold coffee across the room into the recycling, miraculously not spilling a drop and leaves a cartoonish trail of smoke behind while exiting the room posthaste. The door swings on its hinges and the swivel chair (that wasn’t there previously) spins helplessly.

I guess I’ll manage it, but it will be interesting on who I post on the most naturally. I can say ingame I’m always playing rave, I’ve been a warlock forever. Role playing warlocks are a bit harder, we usually are not that sociable. Infact if I were to think of Raveintis’s personality itself, he is quite reserved and willing to watch rather than become involved.

Maybe it’s just me, but I can feel the personality of each character I post as, their personality do Infact determine how and where I post most of the time.

[Morician-wyrmrest-accord (Morician)]

I’m fairly certain they’ll make a few tweaks to the forums after they get more data in the next few weeks. Ironing out the bugs that crop up and whatnot.

[Surfgirl-dathremar (Surfgirl)]

does likes push you into the next trust level?

It’s not just you, for me each of my characters are different. Where I post How they act and react all depend on the character I’m posting on. Take Jericha, she will not be posting anywhere accept in the IC and OOC RP threads unless she is given permission by Lord Salkeen.

[Raveintis-emerald-dream (Raveintis)]

To a extent I believe, I found a great guide from a player from overwatch.

New Forum Guide - Syntax and Features

There is no request sticky function of any kind. I am not sure if that was a feature in the old forums.

I’m sure Jericha and Salkeen may post in these forums more once their war campaign comes to a victorious end.

For those still confused on Trust Levels and Syntax, this link should prove useful.

New Forum Guide - Syntax and Features

Updated: November 16th Greetings Heroes of Azeroth! In your realm I am Siyanati, a traveler who is just now exploring this amazing world of Azeroth. However, in other realms I am more commonly known as WyomingMyst. I am one of the forum MVPs but I often post in Overwatch forum community. The Overwatch forums got upgraded to the Discourse forum platform earlier this year and I spend a lot of time posting on the Overwatch forums (with over 15,000 posts between both platforms). The new forum plat…

It’s not that Jericha cannot post in the forums, It’s that she will not post with out Lord Salkeen’s permission. When It comes to Jericha, I’m like always on RP mode when I’m on her. RP wise Jericha would not do anything without Salkeen’s permission, except fleeing from Isaik. That however is an uncontrolled response from her.

[Surfgirl-dathremar (Surfgirl)]

It’s functional, but I wouldn’t mind if a block/ignore option came back.

Also miss being able to check folks armory easily

[Myorga-wyrmrest-accord]

For reasons previously outlined, it’s probably not going to happen. However it would be amazing if Blizzard took it upon themselves to customize the forum software to allow ignoring and blocking people.
