Can devs or mods please remove the function that allows a forum user to hide people’s posts! I understand that reporting posts that are aggressive abusive or go against the terms of use is needed, but no user should be able to hide another users post. The flag function should be a way of letting mods or devs know that there’s something wrong in a thread. It shouldn’t give a normal user the power to misuse it and hide people’s post he doesn’t agree with or he feels is irrelevant to a thread. This is happening on a daily, and it’s going to kill the forum. Certain users are making it impossible to contribute as they no there is no drawback for them misusing this tool. I also understand that it’s hard to have a mod on 24 hours a day. So once again I request that the system is tweaked and a ban or some sort of punishment is put on users the misuse and abusie this function
I totally agree. This is not a good hiding function, this is census by a troll who shall not be named, for the biggest part at least. Maybe open some applications for mods. I am sure many people here have no issue doing such things for free.

Yeah, the troll who shall not be named, makes reading/having a normal discussion much harder, just because one guy doesn’t like people with another opinion than him. I really hope for a some changes to make the forum friendlier.

This formun is getting really heavy, we can find people complaining and trolling and then, when their topics are closed or they are banned they say they’re making a ‘feedback’
There’s people who may have problems like this:
And after the comments…
Now this may happen and it’s normal,
but now we find this people who may have different intentions
without mention of those comments that change the main topic of the thread.
I’m not sure if everyone in this forum can hide a thread… but of course, that should be fixed.
@DonHart A good example would be where I got threatened by the troll who shall not be named.
Luckily the rest of the community did support me on the specific posts.
It was posted in this thread Improvement demands unfair to Warhorse
A posts of mine that disagreed with the troll who shall not be named was also hidden after a report of a certain person. Many others also seem to be annoyed by this as they are also victim of abusive behavior.

@DonHart I understand most of that but hiding people’s post because the troll doesn’t agree or like the user should not be allowed! In fact this 1 person has caused more drama then any other user I’ve seen. Now I’m not saying he should be banned. There’s a few times he’s made very good points, plus it’s not for me to tell you guys how to be mods, but surely there’s a warning system or a way to stop him flagging posts so that it removes them or automatically deletes the post. Shouldn’t the flag post tool be used to alert mods to a post that is against the guidelines of the forums.

I’d like to see one of those hidden post, as far as I know only admin can hide posts or delete them.
and, well, Chris is the CM, he knows well which post should be hidden or not,

This is what I DM’ed Christian:
Please explain why WH considers the following to be spam:
Somebody wants to use and is using the spam flagging feature to censor discussion about making modifications to the game because in his/her estimation that isn’t something warranted and in fact is untoward to ask of the studio
Well, maybe Chris didn’t hide the post, some people just flag the comments or topics and maybe one of those flags were marked as positive.
That’s why Chris make the comment.

Whoa, whoa, whoa… Christian didn’t hide anything. Christian didn’t flag anything. Christian did the right thing. He explained his thoughts and then acted upon them. He unhid a comment that was flagged as spam.
That’s not the issue. The issue is the spam flagging is being used to censor other people comments

Don if I flag a post as say spam it automatically gets hidden from the forums. No mod or dev intervention that’s why we both have replies saying it should never have been hidden
