Not to be negative, but I don't think it will work though. We already have a lot of threads started here rather than the appropriate forums for convenience and popularity.
A complaint forum just doesn't sound like it'd be a popular place for fans to visit.

I enjoy your posts, but if we are being honest, most of them belong in the Community Creations forum. But I'm guessing you post here so people have the opportunity to see them. And I'm totally ok with that because I like your stuff and wouldn't see it in its proper subforum.
I don't think others should be denied a voice, especially when they are raising valid issues with the company and/or community.

What I propose does not deny the voice of anyone besides the forum would be accessible to everyone, would not be covered or hidden.
Constructive ideas for over one disagrees do not poison the atmosphere of negativity and often of disrespect or insinuations that lack sufficient support.
Sharing contents and general ideas is not the same to denigrate people in their offices or functions, make apocalyptic predictions, encourage mockery and discontent.
If I walk into a bar and hear people talking politely to what not interests me I can stay in place without problems, if what I hear is constant teasing, yelling, insults, threats, slurs, I get up and I'll talk to the manager who kindly send out who tries to disturb the peace of others in a common place.
One theme allows the coexistence, the other seeks ruin.
This game doesn't want transparency...where in the world did you get that idea?!
All of us that have reduced our play time to almost nill because of the Sorc issues, the prudish armor design's, and Zenimax's wasted resources to bring us things we didn't ask for instead of any of the things we have asked for would make it not in Zenimax's best interest to create a forum where we could freely speak the truth and other user's could quickly sum up the state of the game.
Better that they continue the way things are by deleting/silencing/ignoring negative reviews while praising people who praise them. They do it on this forum and they do it on the SubReddit ESO forum. This game is full of disappoint.

The contributions of complaints exist today in the general forum and plug a lot of interesting and positive community issues. Having an exclusive section frees the general forum to have a healthier exchange between users without being harassed by the constant repetition of the same type of complaints which sometimes reaches result in spamm.
Most claims nothing new, are only individual complaints of personal experience about known issues throughout the community, not give any new and not give any solution.

I think you'd see less frustration if ZOS would simply be honest with its players and adhere to ethical and well-accepted business practices (like allowing opt-outs from spam). I have nice things to say about the game but I think what you are witnessing right now is massive frustration from users about the way they've been treated. This weekend's spam and subsequent insulting official reply from ZOS really hurt a lot of users.
So I think it's right that the forums are filled with topics addressing this in the last 48 hours. Instead of burying the threads in a subforum, ZOS would be better to address the issues and make amends to its subscribers for treating them with such disrespect.
I'm someone who never thought I'd feel this way because I truly love the game. But if the issues that people are raising with such passion in the last 48 hours aren't addressed soon and well, I fear the game I love will be gone sooner than later. And that would be a shame.

The problem is that the cost of this fight between dissatisfied users and ZOS are paying many users who currently enjoy the game and want to continue doing so.
The dissatisfied users are not interested in who do enjoy the game and it appears as if they wanted everyone to feel the same as them. Should accept that there are people who enjoy the game and do not need to be disclosed any alleged hidden truth.

This is because ZOS is choosing to ignore the issues. Or worse, tell an "untruth" about the issue. The official response about the spam ads was that ZOS had no ability to send in-game emails.
So let me ask you, have you ever received an in-game email from ZOS? Because I sure have.
If these issues were being resolved in a way that showed a modicum of respect for subscribers and players, you'd see these posts diminish significantly in frequency and improve significantly in tone and demeanor.
You can only poke even the nicest dog with a stick so many times...
And you can not do it in a specific forum?
You need the attention from users like me, that are not interested in issues like this?
You need to force me to see your spamm claims to be effective?
I do not think so.
We are in 2015, news flow like water in a river, i do not need a permanent spamm to know about issues in game, and ZOS neither.
I only seek respect for users that do not want to be used as instruments for a specific cause, if I like the cause I join them but by my own will.

Everyone here enjoys the game or they wouldn't be here. It is precisely BECAUSE we enjoy the game that we are so passionate about not seeing it ruined by spam and less-than-honest business practices.
To be devil's advocate, would you be happy if every piece of ESO artwork you produce had to include Saturday's spam message across the top?
Before you snicker, for many gamers, gameplay itself IS their art. Would you be upset if your expression had to include a banner ad? Because that's how I feel.

Then your way to complain about the spamm of ZOS, is making me spamm in the forum ..... You and many others make to other users as well as ZOS does to you .... Personally bother me more the spamm of complaint in the forum that the spamm of ZOS in the game.
This is a general forum, people can post what they want as long as it falls within the guidelines set by ZOS. This isn't your personal forum where only things you are interested in are allowed.
The forum needs a new segment dedicated to the claims and complaints from users. Currently these issues are placed in the general forum mingling with the rest of the contributions generating a bad environment for those who want to share other ideas.

Now, disrespect, difamation and insult to ZOS employees or the company I do not think so fall within the guidelines.
Repeat the same claim topics or closed ones neither.
