Forum post issue

Ichnaea

I posted something earlier, and have had a few people comment on it. I've noticed that the post wasn't getting refreshed as a "recent" discussion. Is this a known problem or maybe it's being intentionally phased out because of its content?

Not being refreshed to recent discussions. I'm just wondering if it's a type of censorship...they can't close the thread for satire can they?

Common practice in many online forums.

That way, a thread simply disappears from the 1st page quickly but people can't rage about it being closed or deleted.

Weird..... I just posted in that thread just to see.. You're not crazy.. It's not going into recents.

I've heard before they can "sink" threads like this (just making it so they don't get bumped) but I don't actually know if its true. May honestly just be a bug.

Not a bug, they've been doing it since beta.

And the fact that you haven't noticed until today means it's working just as intended.

Nope they've have been doing this since these forums first started, so people don't see what kinds of issues are going on. They do it when they want to hide a problem they don't want people talking about and so on.

i knew that they would intentionally move hot topics to less popular forum categories to die...but this is really low, even for Zos. There are plenty worse posts they could do this to. Well I guess they originally closed the voting thread for 5000 crowns too much for assistants. Man, they are reminding me of China now.

It's called sinking a thread. ZOS has a long long history of doing it to threads that are inconvienent to them but don't actually break TOS in a way that would warrant closing them. There're been a few cases where forum outcry got them to un-sink a thread, but only a handful.

Crumbs.... this is devious!

It's true and has been done to threads many time before here. It's pretty sleazy behavior if you ask me.

It's a shame they do this kind of stuff...
