Welcome: Please Read!
by Nethaera | 07/03/2007 11:07:13 Welcome to the World of Warcraft discussion forums! This forum is here to provide you with a friendly environment where you can discuss all aspects of World of Warcraft with your fellow players. Community forums work best when participants treat their fellow posters with respect and courtesy. Therefore, we ask that you take the time to read through the forum Code of Conduct before posting. Code of Conduct: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/policy/forum-coc.html Please use the search function at the top of the page to find information on a topic before you post a question. Your fellow community members will appreciate it. If you are new to MMORPGs, please take a look at our guide on how to start your adventures in World of Warcraft: Getting Started: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/gettingstarted.html Archive: Click on the link below to read past posts by Blizzard employees. http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/board.html?sid=1&forumId=11120 Have fun posting on these forums, and good luck with your adventures in Azeroth! **************************** ***FORUM GUIDELINES*** In addition to the Forum Code of Conduct (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/policy/forum-coc.html), here are some common courtesy guidelines to follow. While these do technically fall within the bounds of the Code of Conduct, there has been some confusion regarding what is and is not allowed. These guidelines should help clear up any misconceptions. --- In addition, there is a cool down period we institute during times of high forum traffic. If you are violating policy during one of these times due to frustration, you will be given a three-hour cool down suspension. This does not get logged on your record and is simply in place to keep the forums readable and civil. Serious violations will still have the appropriate action taken against them as documented in the Code of Conduct, and we do keep track of these cool down periods separately -- if one is found to be repeatedly violating policy, appropriate action will be taken. **************************** It can sometimes be difficult to find information from our representatives. As such, we've provided the links below, which lead to all current posts from both Blizzard employees and our MVPs (most valuable posters).

| by Nethaera | 07/03/2007 11:07:53 **************************** ***MVP FAQ*** Q. Why was the MVP Program created? A. Often times the members of the Community Team have responded to questions that players could answer just as easily. However, at times, answers by players would go completely ignored while the original poster sought a "blue" response, not trusting what their fellows told them. In order to solve the problem, we instituted a program that has shown great success on Blizzard's forums in the past: the MVP (Most Valuable Poster) Program. This tag next to players who have answered players' questions consistently and accurately lends a note of credibility to what they post; it allows players seeking answers to take what they say at face value, and frees up the time of Blizzard representatives to focus on their primary job duties. Q. What does an MVP do? A. An MVP continues to promote constructive posting wherever they can. They contribute to the community and encourage polite discussion throughout the forums. When you see an MVP post, listen to what they have to say -- they were chosen for their knowledge of the game, also. Q. Why didn't you select _____, someone who always gives great constructive feedback on X subject? A. Please understand that MVPs are not class representatives or community representatives in that sense; they are not chosen for their ability to criticize game mechanics and give feedback. They certainly can do this (and many do). The members of the Community Team are still your vehicles through which you should submit feedback by posting on these forums. We do not have a class representative system in place at this time and would prefer to hear all players' feedback instead of a select few. Q. Why aren't the MVPs all level 70s? A. You do not have to have a level 70 to answer the majority of questions on these forums clearly and accurately. You do not need a level 70 to be able to direct players to the appropriate page on the website for their question, or to link to an answer already given by Blizzard. The "you must have a level 70 to post something useful" perception is largely false, and not something we wish to perpetuate. Again, this partially stems back to the idea that MVPs are in fact community representatives who are giving feedback for the playerbase, which is untrue. Q. How can I become an MVP? A. Keep posting constructively, answering questions about the game, and encouraging discussion (and no, that doesn't mean giving a post a title and then saying "Discuss.") throughout the forums -- we'll take notice. Following the Code of Conduct would be an important part of it, as well. Q. Who are the current MVPs? A. The current MVPs go by the following names, primarily and generally post within specific forums: Faizaniel- Community Frejya- Community Palehoof- Community Kozzae- Community Crepe- Community Iriel- UI and Macros Alestane- UI and Macros Cogwheel- UI and Macros Lopeppeppy- UI and Macros Tandaa- Customer Service Piril- Mac Technical Support [ Post edited by Nethaera ] |
