What the forums need is a thread auto-lock after certain time of inactivity

@Moritz-proudmoore

At least 2 of those is T

You’ll summon them 2x more.

[Cäpslöck-proudmoore]

@Darraffe-faerlina

I don’t really think this is a problem though

I’m not surprised that you think people hiding their true selves from their ‘friends’ isn’t a bad thing.

[Sendryn-sentinels]

Best not to engage. They’ve already sockpuppeted another thread and they keep bringing this one back when it dies off after an hour.

[Eztraj-illidan]

But then how will people report a post you made 2 years ago? Someone please think of the children!!

[Whisper-moon-guard (Whisper)]

We don’t get a lock because Blizzard thinks NA is bad, and we need to be punished.

[Ayukama-frostmourne]

Those poor children.

@Whisper-moon-guard

Blizzard thinks NA is bad

Blizzard is right. The NA is bad. Lucky I’m AU, so I can say that

@Dreadgoat-kilrogg

Let a few people shout ‘necro.’ It makes them feel good.

Holy necro, Batman!

[Darraffe-faerlina]

@Cäpslöck-proudmoore

I’m not surprised

well i, for one, am glad we had this discussion. i felt that it really enlivened the discourse on this thread.

thank you so much for sharing your opinion, friend

The discourse in NA is far more toxic. Read a side by side U.S. vs EU thread you can tell which is which.

They should lock U.S. thread after a week of inactivity or as soon as the thread gets derailed by politics.

[Brewa-hyjal]

Blizzard’s primary concern is in protecting trolls.

They need to make ignores and such account-wide (like they used to be on the old forums), get rid of sockpuppeting, and remove the ability of people to hide their activity & profiles. (The SUREST sign of a Troll is that their activity/profile is hidden. Every time.)

I do have to remind myself sometimes that when im posting on the EU forums i have to actually be nice to people.

After spending so long here, snark and sarcasm has become the default way to communicate haha

[Doness-kargath (Doness)]

I generally agree, though I sometimes benefit from threads I like being necroed.

[Darraffe-faerlina]

@Doness-kargath

though I sometimes benefit from threads I like being necroed.

sometimes a new post to an old thread is not a bad thing… a person could find the thread and add newfound information to the discussion that really helps resolve the issues that the thread has covered.

@Arandi-moon-guard

@Dan-emerald-dream

We have a thread that dates to 2010.

At a certain point, it’s not longer necro-trolling, it’s preserving history.

If you are referring to the Ragefire Chasm time capsule, unfortunately that got closed after someone got offended at the final bump.

Awww, nooooo

[Ayukama-frostmourne]

We’re supposed to be nice here, but we just don’t want too.

In fact, when we get the paddlin from Blizzard, we throw hissy fits

[Laeuko-draenor]

Threads from 4 years ago shouldn’t be popping up out of the blue.

[Reinedemorte-dalaran]

So, just like the classic forums. Makes sense.

[Cäpslöck-proudmoore]

@Brewa-hyjal

The SUREST sign of a Troll is that their activity/profile is hidden.

Counterpoint: who was the last classic character you’ve seen on retail GD who wasn’t a troll?

[Brewa-hyjal]

That too!

[Cäpslöck-proudmoore]

easiest way to get rid of 95% of trolling: btag as root account identifier.

2nd easiest way to get rid of 85% of GD trolling: retail GD is only for level 60+ retail characters (evokers have to wait until 70).

Everyone else will be free to post in any of the other sections of the forums they currently can.
