Subject: Our board going to hell
   I remember patch 1.4, at that time I was playing a mage. Everyone was #@%$!ing in the mage forum. It got so unbearable that I quit playing a mage. What's the purpose of leveling a class if I am going to get to 60 and then it sucks? I would check other boards once in a while, the Warrior forum was always the one that seemed the most civil. Even though at the time (v1.4) they were worse off than they are now. Their PvP wins were around 35%. That means out of 10 fights 6.5 of them were lost (for the non math players).

Anyway, this is not my autobiography as a WoW player. What my main point is that in the past the Warrior forum would always be civil and productive. Nowadays I login and I see the following:

We were nerfed waaaaaaaaaaaaah
OMG did you see the nerf?
I am quiting
This sucks
Fury build, how can I make it work
Stupid blizzard nerfing us
Fury build
Dual Wielding Fury talent build
Blizzard hates us
Thoughtful intellectual post goes here (currently +hit% vs +crit%)

So I have to ask, how can we fix our boards. Obviously our boards even though they are moderated still have a lot of issues. Asking for Blizzard for better moderation will not give us anything since a) It will take time b) More people moderating = more money spent, which Blizzard will probably not do.

Do we need a better FAQ?
Wait until everyone complaining roles a mage?

This is not a cry post, I actually want to create a think tank for us to come up with a solution that will minimize this questions. If a new FAQ is needed so be it. We will create one, every time a question gets asked we can refer them to it and that will end that thread. Weeding out the threads to important ones and threads that die off.

Q u o t e:
Personally i blame Tseric, now wait, just hear me out. Ok, back in the glory days of our board we didn't have any blue posters, and hadn't seen any blue posters for a long time, so we knew that no one cared about our plight, if we had one, and that nothing we whined about would be fixed. So we acted civil and peacful to one another because whats the point of yelling if your in a sound proof room right?

Ok, then Tseric showed up spouting that he was here for us and that he understood our woes, well that just opened up the floodgates, all the pent up anger and whining just exploded because here was someone that could take what we said to the head honchos so to speak, and maybe get a few things changed in our favor. So every single whiney and angry person put out posts about what they thought should be done and so on and so forth hoping to get something changed.

Then Tseric up and left again, you see where im going i hope? If not i'll explain, the warrior forum drank of the fountain of blue posts, and found it sweet, but then just as quickly it was brought, it was stricken from us. Tseric basically opened up the flood gates of anger and hatred but forgot the close them, so here we are waist deep in useless posts.


Facinating how you would attribute the behavior of a large group of people to a single person.

Does that mean I should post here or not?
Bob is my co-pilot.
