Give MVPs moderator priviledges

#0 - Sept. 6, 2007, 6:07 p.m.

The title sums up my suggestion. This forum is full of trolls, rick rolls and all around idiocy. Any real questions are me with "ur armory sucks looser lol", "this thread is now about steamed hams" or "QQ maor looser lol".

MVPs for the most part, are good representatives of the forums, and the CMs try to lock/delete treads. But the problem is there just too much volume for the CMs to handle by themselves. Give MVPs the power to lock, delete threads and posts and to also ban users (at least temporarily). For an official forum, Blizzard does a terrible job of keeping their forums well maintained. Look at Musician's Friend's take over of Harmony-Central.com. That website had a bad reputation among musicians, but as soon as people started saying "this website is a representation of our company" things got a lot better.

We appreciate the sentiment, however, as much as we value our MVPs, they are not employees. All moderators and Community Team members are and as such, we have tools available to us on site that aren't available off-site along with the perks and double-checks of being employees of the company. We have systems in place that we adhere to and are accountable for. We have added moderators as you well have seen and get to everything as quickly as is feasible, but we need the cooperation of the players to abide by the Code of Conduct as well as to report bad posts.

Otherwise, if you have suggestions on how moderation could be smoother, you can email to [email protected] with them.
