I’ve noticed that a lot of people on the forums are getting flagged and mass reported without legitimate reasons. Just scroll a little through the latest posts and you will most likely find someone flagged for no apparent reason.
Same goes for comments on posts, i constantly see people flagged when tjey said some very normal statement…
What’s going on ?
I’ve no idea but also noticed that there had been a big increase in uneeded flags recently too. Most of the threads/posts had nothing wrong with them, even saw an MVP targetted in one thread. 
Blizz need to put some work on their forums that is for sure it’s more toxic than the game itself
Ah yes I saw this morning that I’d been flagged by the community then unflagged by a moderator this morning.
Ironically that was also a comment about it being a shame that some people seem to be flagging comments purely because they don’t like them.
If a post is flagged and buried I usually expect it to be a rule breaking one, the most common reasons are usually masked swearing, personal attacks etc.
Most of the threads i made recently got flagged.
speaking from history it might just be an individual who keeps flagging threads or posts. might even be that one mate >.>
People who are disliked by enough people get raided.
Happens to me all the time. I often get banned for no reason as well.
I think the few bad apples false flagging need to have their flagging rights revoked until they can act like normal adults. This forum is an absolute clown show sometimes… 
To be honest though: You have some really weird takes sometimes that can be easily mistaken for trolling. 
Dunno. Have some examples?
Hard to say why something got flagged without seeing the actual post(s).
Still not a good reason.
I’m always providing real arguments and engaging with everyone in a constructive and polite fashion.
I’m just back from a 1 month ban because I said that PvP would be a better time investment than PvE, since it requires less maintenance to remain engaging.
1 month. For this.
Well I imagine it’s a spill over from Reddit behaviour.
You essentially have a “Like” and “Dislike” button, if enough people dislike the comment, then it becomes hidden. Where as the WoW Forums don’t have this. So the closest they have to a “Dislike” is to Flag it.
The thing is, it’s heavily abused on Reddit, and it’s not really a place to have a real discussion. Just a load of toxic clowns with no in-game friends who want to show off their latest mount drop.
Thinking someone is trolling IS a reason.
You might not agree with it, but that’s neither here nor there.
It’s then up to the moderator(s) to decide whether the flag was warranted or not.
And honestly; if you get multiple flags, that means multiple people think you’re trolling. That says something, right?
Of course there are people who abuse the system and flag more than once themselves. They deserve bans. Multiple times breaking this rule: Permanent ban. Imo. Because, yes, that kind of behaviour is problematic.
It’s lacking the context in which it was posted. That can change how its perceived.
I 100% agree with Tah on this one. You are definitely here to troll.
They lifted one ban this year. I didn’t try to appeal this one.
I can acknowledge when a ban is warranted, you know. There have definitely been time where I thought: “Lol, okay, I got this one coming” but this year it’s different.
People just flag all my threads and sometimes it screws me over for no valid reason.
It’s just as I described.
I said that PvE requires a constant flow of new content every season because people get bored of their 8 new dungeons, whereas PvP can sustain itself on the same handful of maps and has done so for 20 years. I concluded that PvP would be a more efficient investment of Blizzard’s time.
Banned.
That’s not what Tah said, and I’ve had enough discussions with them, I’m pretty sure they’ll be able to tell you that the vast majority of my unpopular opinions are genuine.
You get banned because all you do is post troll bait posts. Your opinions change from post to post just get attention and then play the victim.
But that’s a clear fallacy.
Because the PvP crowd is a minority. Without proper PvE support through regular new content, the game would no longer be viable as a source of income for Blizzard.
So I don’t fault anyone for just seeing such a thing as trolling.
I personally wouldn’t have flagged it, but I don’t actually fault anyone who would.
And if you got banned for it, that means a moderator agreed with those people.
No, my opinions are extremely consistent:
You’re accusing me of stuff I don’t do.
Back in MoP, Holinka revealed that PvP and PvE participation was nearly identical.
I agree it has declined, because PvP is neglected. My coliseum suggestion, and overall putting me in charge, would absolutely revive PvP in this game.
Then I’ll ask again, why are you here if you hate the game so much?
I’ve played thousands of arenas this season alone and I’m currently leveling my third Mistweaver.
How is that hating the game?
It’s actually quite simple.
People don’t agree on everything and some people really want to tell you how stupid they think you are but are not allowed to due to the Code of Conduct of the forums.
So People were used to to have Dislike Buttons (which got gladly removed) that were used by them to express their disagreement.
Since there is no dislike button anymore, they (a small minority!) abuse the Report-Feature to get rid of opinions and thoughts they disagree with or can’t handle.
Thus creating this situation.
You never have anything nice to say about it.
You just moan about it… all the time… it’s tiring to keep seeing the same guy hating the game all the time.
