so what do you guys think of the new official forums?

[Xecks]

ive done a bit of glancing at the things said about them but i dont know what to think rightly .

anyone have any info on it or thoughts?

New? Looks the same to me.

Same buggy, poorly coded pile of junk as they usually are.

they go into read only mode the 13th and then are supposed to have functionality like the overwatch forums.

i dont know .

there is something about "trust levels" or some ominous sounding stuff like that.

also though they are going to allow people with certain "trust levels" to embed images and memes .

i just dont know if its going to be some sort of bad thing with only blizzard shills getting those levels.

Got a link? Haven't heard anything about that. It sounds pretty bad, and it'd explain why there are so many shills coming out of the woodwork these days.

should be the right one. also on the official forums theres posts about it with the green mvp mark besides them that go into some of it.

Where's the "trust levels" commentary?

This reads like "we're updating our forum tech"

Literally nothing ominous about "trust levels"

[AwkwardSquirtle]

Trust sounds like just verifying that you aren't a bot. Seems fair.

sorry i just was glancing at it and diddnt link it . i dont know really if it is ominous really. it just seems like it could be some sort of carrot on a stick for people to not be critical of blizzard and i dont know about the reporting system and its enforcement .

ahh well will just have to see.

Nothing ominous, but I'm sure the usual Youtubers are making videos to peddle a tinfoil hat conspiracy.

Blizzard's announcement literally says you won't be able to post very often unless you get higher trust levels.

TLDR: They are ruining their forums, so less people post, so they don't have to pay as many CMs.

[D3athsting]

Probably it's a mobile-friendly forum...lulz

[Deleted]

It's a new form of censoring but hey that's the new norm apparently. I trust me, I guess that will have to do official-forum'ish.

I don't think you even read it. YOu get unlimited posts at level 1. To get to level 1 you must:

Entering at least 5 topics
Reading at least 30 posts
Spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts

Sorry, that comes nowhere close to ruining the forums and getting less people to post.

[anveena]

Unless this removes my permanant ban I couldn't care less.

[zhero]

why are MVPs posting the details instead of the WoW/blizz staff?

[Lochton]

Sounds fine. Great to see it upgraded.

Kinda liked the BlizzCon forum setup.

[Soisoisoi]

Will they load faster? The US forums seem to take forever to load (UK), but no other website, EU included, loads absoulutely fine.

Meh, nothing too much seems to be changing. Hopefully the forums won't randomly log me out and refuse to let me back in until I go to the main website and log out and back in again.

I'll never be able to get to Trust level 3 because I've been banned from the forums twice and suspended from the game once for three hours 7 years ago, so that sucks.

Tree threading ? That's a great idea, anything that cuts back on a thousand pages of repeated history in a linear thread.
