...needlessly inhibits the sense of community in your game. Instead, forums managers should strive to foster it by embracing people from the different walks who find common ground in your community.
The example I refer to was a harmless, community fostering "what do you do for a living" thread that I found interesting (being a closet wow geek myself) and found it was deleted as I was going through the pages. I say harmless because I'm having trouble determining the down side to a thread like that. Surely it can't be attributed to something as trivial as cost since it's the very community POPULATING such a thread that is paying, at a minimum, $15/mo for years on end....
If not cost, then what is the motivation of deleting community enhancing threads?
It's a nice ideal Thongthlayer but threads that deviate from the forum's intended purpose rarely result in well behaved discussions and mass suspensions are not an ideal solution. There has to be a baseline somewhere.
General Discussion is here to provide you with a friendly environment where you can discuss all aspects of World of Warcraft with your fellow players. Have you considered visiting the Games, Entertainment, and Technology forums? It is not completely off-topic but there should be room enough for you to get to know fellow World of Warcraft players. http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/#forum2721884 |
