I was muted few times mainly for argues with Jito (shoutout to my man Jito) but I was always noticed because of which post and why. This time after my post where I critiqued Ion and his devteam I got muted without any explanation. This field was empty and my topic was closed within few hours even though people were still discussing the case.
Is it Soviet Union or what? I can’t express my opinion on how bad retail designers are or what? Where is freedom of speech? No matter if you silence us or not we will tell how your low budged, overhyped expansions bad are because they are. Your 15 y.o. version of the game was beating your retail crap and I wouldn’t be surprised if it still does because 8.3 is barely playable. Probably the worst patch in the history of this game. If instead of classic it would be TBC or Wrath I can’t see many people still playing this crap.
Shadowlands fixes some problems but few critical ones will be still there even though we gave you ton of feedback for at least 2 years.
Regarding Ion and why he won’t quit. No company would hire such a loser with such CV.
Maybe it’s not what you say but how you say it? I’ve seen a lot of criticism for the dev team over that last two years and most of the stuff that’s removed is personal insults, calls for job losses or break the forum ToS in some way
We welcome feedback on the game Brodanyo, and thank players who do so, but feedback and discussion must be constructive for it to be fruitful. Making personal attacks on individuals isn’t acceptable.
So, I would like you and everyone else to know, and be clear on the fact, you are being suspended for that last sentence of your post.
Constructive feedback is ignored for years. We written A4 pages during BfA alpha so you closed this forum section because there was too much critique. That’s what constructive critique is worth to Blizzard… What a joke company. You silenced Blitzchung but you didn’t these who made 1st May parade.
What would be great would be if, when you get a silence, you could be informed of the reason why, ideally with the relevant post/posts linked. From things others have said, this used to happen but doesn’t anymore, which leads people to be unsure of why they received a ban. Some people are convinced they are being targeted by specific groups/individuals and I believe that being given an explanation for the silence would help to dispel this notion - and would reduce the number of tickets being made to find out why!
That is indeed a good idea, and you’re entirely correct on the effect that’d have. You should receive this information with the silence, if this didn’t occur for you, that’s rather odd as it’s added automatically. I’ll look into it, thanks for letting us know
I got a silence the other day (only a 4 hour one) that had no reason given. I deleted the post I think it was, and filed a ticket asking for clarification. Would not be world-ending to not know as I have a good idea, but would be nice to know for certain.
Plus it helps you to know what to avoid in future. Given that many hereare non-native speakers, there have been cases where people used terms that they didn’t even know were offensive just because they’d seen others use those words and thought they meant something else.
I have a good idea what it was (I should never mention Boris on here for my own sake), but I’d like to know if it was me being political or the “elbow-deep” metaphor.
Well lucky you. I got muted because I was defending Blizzard against a known streamer.
I appealed and appealed just to know what did I say exactly that warranted this silence.
No answers. Mostly they will tell me to wait for the period to finish. After that treatment I never even bothered about defending Blizzard, in fact I used to buy services so much but now much less than before.
Not on most forums. There’s the freedom “of the rules and conditions you probably don’t read but click “I Accept” on anyway” which is a very different thing.
Are the codes of conduct so hard for people to understand?
You can praise or criticise if you want to, as long as you make your posts polite and constructive. I still say that silences/bans happen for a reason, re-read the posts that caused it and maybe see where you could/should have worded differently.
I think was the metaphor. I’ve used some choice language whn being political here and not been slapped, but i’ve never quite gone into the territory of elbow metaphors!
