If it’s like the old forums it’ll only get flagged if enough people report it then you get auto-banned. It might be new forum software but it’s the same old mods behind it.
Ask any roleplayer and they’ll disagree, severely.
Afaik every flag gets looked at and 5 flags trigger the automatic 24 hr lock. Someone did do a fully detailed post about how it works when the new forums went live, not sure if all the details are in the sticky at the top.
in where? we’re in general discussion, how’s it even relevant who’s Roleplayer and Who’s not?
pretty much, forums arent being moderated as they should be.
we’re not getting off-topic sub-forum either because mods cant be bothered to moderate it.
elaborate. how does someone ERPing concern you? or in case you’re not a roleplayer, how does it concern anyone else? its a closed RP, mostly private, if not, you could just make it a private thing and poof issue’s gone.
As far as I’m aware with the new system no ban is in place until a moderator acts upon the flags.
Why should there be an off topic forum. If you want to discuss other stuff join Reddit or something.
Like the old forums. /wink
Not even gonna answer this lmao.
Problem is, people often either A: don’t do it in private or B: lay it on way too thick in public.
Another problem is that, of course, minors play this game. Minors RP too. People do not check whether the people they ERP with are minors.
Edit: Are you, by any chance, familiar with a little something called Goldshire?
yeah this could get a fix.
not sure what this means.
I’d love if wow was +18 tbh.
yeah, and unless you ban thousands of people that place wont get fixed.
I think generally doing ALL rp in private is a way to go. some people dont like this others dont like that.
Imagine a female draenei that every other sentence feels a need to remind you that they do, in fact, have a thirty inch schlong.
Most RP is relatively harmless though (with exceptions, of course), ERP not so much.
well what’s harmless to one isnt harmless to others, its a subjective thing. in my opinion, opening up is better than tabooing.
Boy oh boy have I completely lost track of you. Opening up what? Tabooing what?
lemme elaborate.
In Current state - I think making all RP private is a way to go, including “ERP”
In an ideal situation - I think most RP should be open, except few exceptions, like your draenei exception, that can be private
I’d like your post to signal my agreement with your post (to some degree) but due to only having a limited amount of likes per designated time periods and having to write at least ten characters per each post I am now forced to write out this brief summary as to why I am not simply liking your post but replying to it in full, to ensure that it does not seem as if I simply left your reply to my comment hanging.
It is in the sticky that Pachimari wrote. I don’t know the specific requirement of how many flags to get a temp closure of a topic but clearly some topics do get triggered.
based mvp for once???
In the nicest possible way, wut?
If you’re going to call someone biased at least spell the dam [sic] word correctly.
I am regularly accused of being biased because my posts appear in green. Anyone who can be bothered to read my post history (maybe if you can’t sleep) will see my opinions are very much my own. I am not required to support Blizzard as an MVP, I am allowed to express myself freely and I try to be polite about it.
I do think people should have action taken against them if they break the rules. I personally have only had a good experience so far with reporting. I haven’t had to report many posts to date, but I do report them if I think they are breaking the rules.
Admit it or not you’re much more ‘polite’ now than you used to be.
