| I was wondering if anyone else felt that there is a need for easier community moderation, or rather a way to moderate it. The main one that I deal with is the reddit community (duh), and since it's quickly approaching 20,000 people I fear that it will get out of hand once RoS launches. I don't want to make the community private as having to accept the hundreds of requests a day would be extremely tedious and annoying for those who want in, and the few 'officers' of the community. I wouldn't mind the ability to some how change the color of my text as an officer in the community so that people can be aware of why I'm telling them to stop saying racist or homophobic things or to just stop trolling/antagonizing everyone. Also, when someone is kicked from a public community, I think they can just re-join, and that seems to basically make kicking pointless and gives trolls free reign, even more so with the fact that there are multiple community chat channels. Am I alone in these thoughts? EDIT: Jesus people this is not about reddit.com/r/diablo, this is about communities on D3, the things that are like clans, you know? I used the reddit one as an example because it is by far the biggest and is currently the only one I moderate. Raticus79 summed it up nicely with this: Anyone who has a public community faces the problem of what to do with people who join and make bad posts (e.g. spam messages). Currently, we have: Option A: remove them. They re-join and continue spamming. Option B: change it to a private community, maintain a manual blacklist and review each request to join. What's being requested: Remove them and block re-joining (either permanently or for X days). This involves far less administrative overhead. We're talking about a really big community here - 20,000 people would involve hundreds of requests a day and leave no time for playing the game. | ||

| We're interested in potential ways to improve both Clans and Communities in the future, and I appreciate the constructive feedback in here. I'm more than happy to pass it on. However, I think we should take a step back and breathe for a moment, and allow this discourse to progress in a more positive nature. Please avoid insults or personal attacks, or I'll have to moderate the thread accordingly. Thanks! | ||
