No I donât think thatâs how it works because I the moderators know if itâs alt flagging and I spoke to a GM who indirectly indicated that they were aware but still held up the ban, if they saw it as unfair they would have removed it surely?
I think it works on a reset basis, you get a ban you have to start earning TL3 from scratch but because itâs harder to monitor the post and like count or people get silenced in game itâs hitting roadblocks. It could even be that people are getting 5 flags but no bans and that is stopping TL3 but because we donât get told which posts are flagged unless one post gets enough to be hidden we are at sea
I think inappropriate depends on interpretation in some cases. Obviously, there are some post that clarity fall into that category, but maybe moderators can find something inappropriate even if it doesnât seem to be.
It sound like harassment, doesnât it? If same people keep flagging your posts no matter the reason, in my opinion means more than just disagreement.
The alt-flagging was unfair, but perhaps the âtrollingâ flag wasnât? Could be a reason why they keep the ban.
Thatâs enlightening. Could be.
If Trust level reset from any action against you then yes, thereâs high possibility people canât earn Trust level 3 because others keep flagging their posts.
As much as I like the new forums, the move to character specific profiles was a step backwards in my humble opinion, so I look forward to these changes.
In my view they should remove the whole system and employ more mods ,far to many people are getting flag for wrong reasons just because the other person/people donât like there tone or being stood against .
Agreed, the system can be easily abused, limiting the chances of getting bonuses (Trust level) just because someone dislike a poster in a personal level. Itâs too subjective.
We need active moderation, if moderators took on a visible presence on the boards and stepped in to calm situations down, give out a small âhey guys your starting to step over the line hereâ I bet 80% of flags wouldnât happen.
If we actually saw them we would be more careful in our own behaviours including flagging as a form of harassment.
Even if they gave MVP powers of moderation or added a player moderation team it would be better than a secret team of ghost moderators imo.
I didnât know that either and I presume that is only in the context of official forums. I have no idea, many of us have been moderators/administrators of our own private forums.
I donât know if it is France in particular or EU as a whole, but I know a few CMâs that were told to go home when they wanted to work late as they are not allowed to do any free overtime due to labour laws.
I am curious, a little off topic but not too much I hope, does the trust level (or lack of it) apply all through the forums? I mean if you made say a recruitment thread for a guild or community and put in links, would the links expire or not work if you did not have the correct trust level?
