Does anyone else get a bit disappointed seeing the large [ Z ] next to a thread and then...

Ratzkifal

... realizing that there were only a few toxic comments being deleted or the thread was moved to another category, but no actual answer from ZOS was given?
Sure, it's good that the forum is being tidied up, but instead of showing "this thread is interesting enough for the developers/moderators to reply" it shows "a bunch of triggered people are here". At least in most cases.

Obviously I have too much time if I am making a thread out of this.

Naw, thanks to ZOS;ZOS made me calmed down.

Dev Tracker
dont bother with Zs, they are almost always garbage clean-up a day or three too late

ZOS_Edward

We've gone ahead and removed a couple...

Just kidding.

Hey @Ratzkifal,

The best way to find what posts we've commented on with answers that we feel the community would want to know is to check the Dev Tracker. We manually flag posts we make like that so they show up there, as I've done with this one.

Posts where Mods are giving people a heads-up about the rules or where Devs are just having fun won't show up in there but will still show the Z in front of a post to show we were there, in some form.

You should flag the ones where you're having fun too

Are devs allowed to have fun?

I wish they'd stop announcing the cleanups. Just do it, and move on.

When I see a "Z", I'd like it to be, "I'm just here posting like anyone else, so click that awesome."

@ZOS_Edward What happened to, 'We're looking into giving mod comments a different visual flag'?

....I may be slightly paraphrasing :P

@ZOS_GinaBruno

OutLaw_Nynx

I wish it was just Developers that had that. Not mods. I don’t care you cleaned up.

Yeah, I hate seeing them. It's usually Matt moving them somewhere no one will read them.

I'm here because of the Dev Tracker.

AlienatedGoat

Yeah its a bait and switch everytime I think there is an answer and instead I get "Greetings, we have removed a few comments for baiting and being unconstructive..." etc.

Dev Tracker OP

Octopuss

I think an automated system where only ZOS employees and not moderators would end up in the Dev tracker would be a LOT better than this.

...but then again, this forum software is a dysfunctional frankenstein technology that should have never seen the light of the day.

We've all been baited by ZOS -- instead of News/Announcements/Answers, we got Forum-Moderation instead. Lmao.

Speaking of Dev Tracker, @ZOS_Edward ... How does is work on mobile? Searched for it but all I find are bug reports w/o replies.

It's good to see that there are moderators active on the forums, at least.

And it's rather nice to see that they have a bit of a sense of humor.

Yzalirk

I would love to see them take ideas and such into consideration more. Seeing them post something like “hey, that’s a pretty cool idea” goes a long way. Some people have great ideas, even if it benefits ZOS.

I know you want them right now but it seems we must wait for the next scheduled maintenance for them to grant us our free crates. (I'm assuming you're on PC)

Other platforms have received their crates because they have had a recent maintenance.

Tabbycat

It does sort of have that clickbait letdown feel to it, doesn't it?

For what it's worth, I enjoy the Dev posts where they are just having fun and being silly.

On the upper left hand part of the screen, when you click the three horizontal stacked bars (menu), you can access some quick categories there. Anything you cannot access directly like that can be found if you click those three bars and click on the "view full site" link. Alternatively, if you know the link, you can paste that directly into your address bar and view it while still using the mobile version of the site.

real shame your web team has as yet not found a way to differentiate between the two, would save a lot of hassle on both ends surely or have they not been asked to?
