The community is toxic in game worse than the forums.
I’ve been on the internet for several decades and have been a part of many communities, I’m not saying there aren’t any other horrible communities, but it’s silly to say that every community is equally as toxic…maybe all the communities you are a part of happen to be very toxic ones?
Talking about getting actioned is also a no no.
So this thread might also get removed if the mods see it.

I come here for the comments.
A place to hang and wait for reset.
If it was removed, that means a human moderator has to have agreed with the reports.
In this case, if I had to guess, they agreed that it violated the rule against spam, since there are already too many threads on that topic.

If you actually believe other communities aren’t as toxic then that’s just the people in charge doing their jobs. Blizzard generally doesn’t until it gets way too far out of hand, which is why the community appears as it does
i am the most reported player on the forums and you are wrong to be making that post.
players dont want to be held back with addons. they want to play a game which is easy, quick to understand, less complex and fun with minimal spells and abilities.
We are not in 2009 - we have many options of games now which are doing exactly this.
I think its the whole internet. Frankly, I’m starting to think it was a mistake…
Let’s be precise here, what do you mean by “other communities aren’t as toxic” ?
Your original claim was that all communities are equally as toxic, not that there aren’t other toxic communities. To prove your claim false all I need to do is point to other communities out there that aren’t nearly as toxic as the wow community…and like I said, the wow forums are moderated more strictly than communities that only have a fraction of the toxicity.
Precise…about what? It’s exactly as I said. If other communities appear to not be as toxic as WoW’s then that means the people in charge are doing their job
Lol. Lmao even
So you make a toxic post then it gets flagged and you then make a post complaining about toxicity. Something tells me you have no choice other than slip on shoes.
You are using a variant of the ‘no true scotsman fallacy’ …you’re saying “every community is just as toxic as the wow community” and when I show you an example that isn’t you say, “well that’s not a true example” …because there are some moderation forces at work, but this isn’t true.
You can absolutely go to the poe forums/discord right now and be toxic. When someone presents an idea you can look at their achievements and see they can’t complete the hardest content and call them out on it…you won’t be banned or muted or anything. You will definitely face cultural blowback, but if you don’t mind being seen as a dunce…you can continue acting that way.
I… I love you.

I literally did not
They have 27k achieve points and 4 posts, unless you looked their alt up and that has more.
Then your beliefs aren’t evidence based and aren’t open for revision. It means that you could join community after community and experience first hand that not every community is as toxic as wow…on a fundamental level…and that you will continue to believe that they really are, but there is some hidden force that is guiding everyone’s behavior. That’s dogma, not evidence based reasoning.
It’s frustrating when a post gets removed, especially when you’re just trying to start a discussion. Unfortunately, WoW forums are heavily moderated, and posts that ask for petitions or mass coordination can sometimes trigger automated moderation or be flagged by other users, even if the intent is harmless.
The removal doesn’t necessarily reflect the community’s attitude toward discussion — it’s more about the forum’s rules around calls to action, petitions, or mass reporting, which are treated differently than normal opinion threads. You can still share your perspective and debate respectfully; just avoid framing it as a petition or “gather support” post, and you’re less likely to have it flagged.
You really don’t understand the concept of people actually managing their communities huh
A wise man once pointed out that The Internet is for… something that rhymes with Horn.
While true, its also widely used for anonymous toxicity
I don’t think you understand that not every community is the same. Do you think a community that is centered around a boy band filled with pre teens is going to be the same as a community filled with middle aged highly educated professionals?
That’s an extreme example but it makes the point. On average, the average wow player is not the same as the average poe player…and that is true for many other communities…and here’s the thing. Different communities do manage things differently…but you have to wait until after something questionable is said before you can manage it. When you join a community you see things before it is removed and can get a general vibe of how people act. Even in less toxic communities you still occasionally see toxicity, but like I said, it’s often managed by peer pressure. Nobody likes being seen as dumb or an outsider.
