Trolls abusing report system - this forum needs YOUR help!

Last month this forum got flooded with posts coming from small but very loud group of forum users. These users spam every thread with hate towards the game and white knight it later by calling it “feedback”.

Every other opinion that differ from theirs ends up flagged by auto-mod because this group take advantage of broken report system. They are exploiting this to bash any positive opinion / thread on the game and to advertise PoE game.

We got to act together against this action. If you see any PoE-related posts / threads (that has nothing to do with D4) take action and report the post or thread flagging it as advertising / spam

Together we can make this forum a better place once we get rid of these toxic people.

PoE’s best advertising is Diablo 4’s failure. Many of us had never played any ARPG but Diablo games and are delighted to find a game that does it all far better.

Nothing wrong with highlighting PoE’s strengths to highlight Diablo 4’s weaknesses.

Lucky the moderators see that, which is why you keep getting muted for filling/bumping posts with your irrelevant drivel and the posts you hate stay put.

The irony that this got flagged has me in stitches!

Even the D4 devs watch/take ideas from POE, just as POE devs take ideas from the parts of D4 that work well. Both games are in the same genre.

How is it advertising exactly? Who’s making money from taking about POE?

I suppose you could argue spam if someone was constantly posting the same thing over and over again.

You can’t hypocritically argue that people are silencing you for having a different opinion, while trying to silence people for having a different opinion to you?

Anything mass reported get flagged by auto-mod for further inspection done by actual mod. Glad that this fragged system got you in stitches.

edit; no surprise here. That was more than expected - post hits right in the group of forum users that exploit report system.

Stop making bait posts & they will stop getting reported.
You knew full well that this topic was going to be reported, because it is 100% a bait topic.

Face it mate, you’re all alone on here, losing your mind over basic conversation about the game and the games genre (Which includes bringing games of the same genre into the conversation), why aren’t those posts you hate vanishing? Because they comply with the forums rules.

Why do you keep getting muted and your posts deleted? Because you do not comply with the most basic rules; spamming drivel & conspiracies, bumping old posts and being a nice person.

Your posts serve no purpose and are only made to attack and agitate others, the forum is generally a nice and quiet place when you are not around, most people have expressed their opinions and moved on, the few that remain want to read other peoples opinions and ideas and along you come ranting about an old issue (Of constant hate against the game which has long since stopped), you are the one degrading the forum.

You should cleanse yourself from it.

I’m sorry you feel so hard done by but you’ve asked for it, I rarely get a chance to report your troll posts because others beat me to it.

I hope the negativity and mutes you receive eventually teach you a lesson in basic human etiquette. 2 mutes down and you’ve still not learnt a thing (By the way those mutes were decided by the moderation team, not us).

Keep deluding yourself if you really want, you are not being reported for your opinion, you never have an opinion aside from attacking others with opinions that aren’t your own, that is the issue, you’ll be muted again in no time I’m sure, by the moderators, not us.

Activision - Blizzard does not want you as a spokesman. That much should be clear to you.

Your tinfoil theory aside, you’re the one starting passive-aggressive topics, you’re the one doing the name calling and then you get all butt-hurt when you get confronted.
So… I for one will just block and mute you. You’ve got absolutely nothing interesting to say, so why even waste my time.

Your personal attacks just bore me :yawning_face:

Keep on trying to get rid of people with positive opinions on the game at some point hopefully you and your troll group will be gone to poe forum to contribute there :wink:

I am not going anywhere buddy, and I am pretty sure that Activision - Blizzard does not want you as spokesman either :wink:

Read your own posts that have been moderated, it has nothing to do with you having a positive opinion of the game.

It is due to being a Troll, pure and simple.

On the other hand it has a lot to do with same small circle of trolls abusing report system on my posts :wink:

Pretty sure if I was abusing the report system they would have banned me long ago as I have done a great deal of it.

Truth is I am actually quite accurate in my use of the report function, I do not ever report people for having a positive opinion of the game, I report for toxic behaviour, hence why I’ve reported you the most.

That you cannot see that you are toxic and spamming irrelevant posts is your own problem.

I hope after your 3rd mute you finally learn a lesson.

That’s the biggest issue about broken report system that is currently implemented in Activision - Blizzard franchises. Long list of examples and analysis on that - google is your friend here.

So… what posts have you reported today beside obviously my posts?

Do something for this forums now and go and report posts that actually break code of conduct before you come back to paste them to prove you are actually contributing :wink:
