Blizzard's 'catch 22' forum rules: what do?

09/29/2011 08:20 PMPosted by Bloodyaussie

If I, say, were to make a thread complaining about disco lions, or some other dead horse, I would be scolded and told to use the search feature.

Would said thread be constructive and provide genuine feedback? Then by all means, feel free to share your thoughts and ideas! =)

However, if I were to use the search feature to look up an old thread and post upon it, I would still be scolded, and possibly even banned for 'necroing'.

How do I win? Is there some sort of gap in these unsensible laws?

This isn't too hard. Found a thread about the subject you wish to discuss? + Was the thread created or has not been commented on in over a month or so? = Create a new thread

Found a thread about the subject you wish to discuss? + Was the thread created less than a month or so ago or still actively being commented on? = Post a comment that's civil and will hopefully encourage others to participate in the discussion.

Remember, these forums are designed to be a friendly place for all active players to be able to converse with each other about any game-related aspect. Doing your part in keeping it this way is encouraged and deeply appreciated.

If you have a concern about moderation, please do not post about it on the forums, rather send us a private email from your forum account registered address to [email protected].


EDIT: Clarity

EDIT 2: I should also mention, when doing a search, be sure to click the Date sort option at the top of the list so you find the most recent thread rather than seeing a potentially older thread that was popular a while ago.
