MVP can lose their trust levels like any other poster. I think some of the inactive MVPs are just alts, under the old system all your character became MVPs, under discourse only a nominated character is the MVP. This is true in my case and all my alts are just regulars as I didnāt become an MVP until weād moved to discourse.
The trust levels are dependent on activity so you donāt have people go ham, get it then ignore the forums and still forever maintain that level. Itās a perk for active participants in the forums. I donāt personally have a problem with them decaying.
I donāt think you understood my post. I meant that the MVPs should lose their MVP status if theyāre inactive for a long time, if we are going to lose trust level 3 for not being active enough.
Well, you see, I do. Good for you if you donāt I guess. And by the way, Iām active and yet I donāt have the trust level 3.
I did understand, thatās why I explained that a lot of the MVPs are not inactive, itās that their alts also have MVP status under the old system.
We just have different views, thatās all. As I mentioned before I think that it would be more helpful if posters could see what they are short on when it comes to going up a level and what they were lacking when they lose trust levels. Other than a fresh character itās very hard to track where you are up to.
Im active and donāt have TL3 but we have both had banās its how It goes you have to start from all over again if you are to stand a chance of getting it without one flag or silence which if you are not liked on the forums is pretty hard to do .
I have no idea why you are being aggersive to Puny either she is just telling you how it is no need to take it out on her .
She is not that type of person to do that at all I know you are annoyed at losing it but make a ticket and not be grumpy at wrong person (I know iam bad for that myself)
Itās down to Blizzard to decide how they handle things imported from the old forums. We have the odd discussion topic that never auto locks and stuff like that too. Itās probably more effort than itās worth to un MVP every MVP alt. Ultimately itās their choice how they run things.
As for the Trust Levels they arenāt a social experiment. Discourse is used by a variety of companies and itās aim is to encourage social interaction not harm it. If you are active you passively gain perks, if you drop in activity you lose those perks. That includes MVPs. If you get in to trouble and are temporarily banned from the forums, your progress is reset
Discourse has all sorts of features and Blizzard choose to use it in a way that suits them best.
Aka a social experiment. Everything which has an impact on social interactions is a social experiment. And Iād say that resetting someoneās progress because they got flagged by some salty kid or have been a bit inactive on giving likes is definitely harmful.
That is your opinion, I can see that. I see it as a system that is in place without any experimentation.
A salty poster can not do anything to your TL. If you break the rules that report will be upheld. If you did nothing wrong it will just be a buried post.
What he is trying to say isā¦when you put such a system in place whilst simultaneously allowing the ācancel cultureā to thrive through salty posters with alts that network with other assorted salt posing as players, itās kinda not encouraging socializing but merely group think.
