It’s the same client. It is different servers though, reason being latency. Latency is not an issue on the forums.

Forums Improvements.
-
Get rid of second-class citizens, we’re all paying the same subscription fee, and yet for the majority of us, we don’t get our posts highlighted in green.
-
Just as they did with dislikes, they should remove likes, because just one of them is needed for a distinction to be made, to dislike a post, all that is needed is the opposing argument being liked.

Ignore, not only do you not see the person’s posts but they can’t see yours, the ramifications of this would be interesting, to say the least.
TL3 not being out of reach for long, long time users…

Ooh that reminds me, a way to see your progress towards the next TL level.

I want a better ignore function. If I block someone I don’t want them to be able to reply or quote me directly.
And make progress not decline?
Far as I can see, I have made no progress. Been on the forum since vanilla, had one 3 day holiday. How am I not a trusted user yet?

The only time it was easy to see what you needed to do was when it was all new. We could see that x and y were required and could use the personal page to see how our engagement was going.
I know some of us hit the requirements pretty fast and others seem to go years and never quite get there and it’s hard to work out why. It’s easy to see what we are meant to do but no way of seeing how close you are or what exactly is missing.
I do think the TL3 perk is trivial and is probably best to be something a user doesn’t try to farm because as you say it can depreciate as well and that means if you aren’t normally that active you won’t retain it.
It would probably be a nicer system that if you hit TL3 you kept it unless you got a time out and then being reset and having to do it over would be more reasonable.

How?
It’s just a number next to a Thumbs down. It shouldn’t hide posts or do anything, that’s what reporting is for.
I’m not a fan of downvotes esp with the current system where you have huge number of characters per account you can just downvote on. I do understand why some people want them.
There is a whole load of studies to show it does not have a positive impact on discussions or posters.
If it were to be introduced it would to not hide the posts as well.

When Thumbs Down was removed I didn’t mind as I agree that it’s not always very helpful.
But the number of posts that are Flagged because players simply dislike what is being said is worse.
A simple cosmetic Thumbs Down (no hiding, ignoring, reporting etc.) should be ok. They should be Account limited though, so only one per person.

A few things i want but not required a us and eu forum which doesn’t require an account on other region to use more ways of interacting with posts i.e thumbs up and down. Maybe bnet integrating though would ruin some of the threads in the rp sections. Maybe monthly dev q and a on forums which isnt reddit
There may be different solutions to that problem. First that comes to mind is “penalties” for wrongful flagging, eg: 3 unjustified flags, You get a warning. Two more - Your ability to flag is disabled for a specified time (eg. 3 months). But this would require
, who would actually check if the post is justly flagged, and not an automated system like we have now.
If this post is to be believed:
one of the requirements for TL3 is “Don’t have more than 5 Spam/Offensive Flags”. Since
You might just be a victim of unjust flagging. AFAIK, theres no way for You to check if Your posts are being flagged or not (apart from being hidden due too many flags).

This would be good but has 2 drawbacks.
- Needs real Moderators to check these things.
- This could be a little subjective.
But I do agree that would be better.
A Thumbs Down would be easier to implement though.

Because the moment something gets that negative number, people will start to gloss over it.

If it gets that many negatives maybe they’ll be saving themselves some time.
But also maybe they’d be curious as to why someone got such a reaction. There’s a reason social media algorithms prioritise negative content, it generates engagement.
- Bring back dislikes.
- More communication from Blizzard, even if they just chat on the forums.
- Allow level 2 users and above to make polls.

If so that’s dumb. Other users shouldn’t be able to take away someone else’s trust level…
It’s a shame really because every time a blue posts on a fun topic they get shot down with why aren’t you doing this that or the other
