This is mostly for the moderators. Other players please enjoy reading what ever this is. Caution- some will take this thread way out of context and flag it anyways. This is a thread meant to be funny.

My intention is to not break anymore rules after a recent incident on general discussion. That is where all the strange stuff happens on the forums. Its the weirdest category which I dont understand its purpose. If we can post all other suggestions for the game in more specific categories then whats the point of general discussion. That category should be split into other categories. Then most of the problems on the forums will be solved if general discussion gets nerfed.

The main categories (not sub ones like general discussion or dungeons) should be renamed. Official news/policies > In-game activities > Traders Forum > Customer Service > Guild Recruitment. No General main category. In-game activities category should include Solo/group PvE, PvP, Combat/classes/character, Questing/lore/exploration, Endless Archive, Companions and collectables, and ... The Traders Forum main category should include Crown Store/ESO plus/endeavors seals, Crafting, Housing, and Events/contest. Customer Service should include Bug Reports, General help, Tech support, and Questions about forum rules/policies. Official news/policies should include Official News/updates, Official contest/cosplay, Announcements/maintenece/patch notes, Forum rules/actions/ and info. Without General Discussion there would be more participation within other categories so none will be neglected. Also rearranging them with updated names and descriptions will help too.

First off I have to admit that sometimes I do mistakenly use the report button as a disagree button. This even includes my own comments. I thought my comments were good but then I regret posting them and then I disagree with myself. Then I file another report on my own comment to throw out the extra reports because another mistake happened. I'm not sure if reporting a report will make a difference or get me banned for reporting my report that's reporting my comment. There should be an actual disagree button next to the agree button that is shaped like a sad face. Then a new achievement on the forums which will grant bonus points for ever disagree reaction that is received. No need to falsely report anymore.

There is so much stuff on the forums especially in general discussion that I often misread or don't understand. I often see multiple separate threads all about the same exact topic. Maybe the ability to merge threads with alike ones instead of closing them will be a better option. It will make jobs a lot more efficient. The multiple separate thread clones becomes one big mega thread as a result of thread merging. Then there should be the ability that is very smart and auto detects spam and trolling ( on-purpose, not accidental). There should also be settings on every single thread that says "mute thread or unmute thread" Which will hide the specific thread from the user's view. That will solve another issue that will reduce the amount of false reports and it will prevent those from getting annoyed.


Then the ignore feature. I know what this forum software is capable of doing and yes. It can ignore up to 5000 people per request. I also know that on these forums ignoring 5000 people would be too much. I wouldn't mind if it jumped from 12 to 24. Then what if the software gets an update so the ignore feature could actually block others instead of a temporary mute of their posts. When others get blocked it should prevent the one who is blocked from responding to your original discussion and automatically hides their original posts from view when surfing through the categories. That would be awesome.

The players should not be the only ones to receive cool new features on the forums. Lets not forget about those who help keep the forums maintained. The moderators of legend. Yes I've seen the moderators receive both lots of negative attention on the forums and a very rare amount of positive feedback. Those poor moderators get no respect around here and I'm sorry. So I have an idea that may help out our friendly forum moderators here. They should get the ability to instantly jump from one thread to another without weaving through the categories, Some kind of AI tools to help them detect what is intentionally breaking the rules or not, tools to help them investigate more efficiently, and some more unique forum profile pictures too. They deserve something nice to help them out with their jobs as long if they don't get replaced by actual bots. I'm glad the moderators here are human beings like the rest of us so they are more understanding.

Then the worlds best forum feature on the ESO forums is me. I post very crazy ideas that somehow will improve the game and the forums despite other's doubts. I make some mistakes like other players when breaking the rules (unintentionally without meaning) and then get a notice. Hey I'm not talking about any specific moderation action. I often forget about the notice the next day and continue to post on the forums without breaking that same rule. Yes it is possible to do that. Then months after I all of a sudden remember that notice then the memory goes away. I know the moderators expect me to behave properly by following the rules the best I can even when its hard. This week it has been very hard indeed. Lots of general discussion related stuff and some personal real life stuff as well happened. I wont go into details. This is not about the one annoying thread that I keep on responding to due to curiosity and bad decision making.

I don't want to betray the moderators on the forums and I do want to be a player here. I'm not sure what that means exactly. People sometimes think I'm a moderator even know I never said I was one or claimed to be one. Other times I act more like a player and sometimes cross the line when posting. I want to be myself here without the autism masking ( acting like others in order to fit in and not be seen is weird). I sometimes sound like a moderator when posting too. I don't have ZOS_ next to my name, my text isn't green, I dont have "mod" or admin" under my picture. To confirm I'm not a moderator. I'm a player which means my text color is normal, I have star stickers under my picture, only my name shows without titles. I guess I'm different because I have similar values to what the moderators have of doing my best to keep the forums safe and to follow the rules, and I'm a player at the same time. Ok. I couldn't really write this one well.

Gosh!!! I have a ton to say about this forums and the game. I should make it into one post instead of many posts. To prevent accidental take over of the forums.

I didn't mean what I said in those reports. I was rage posting venting or whatever. Right now I'm more calm and acting more civil.

Then about the game I was hoping to create an army of kahjiits then realizing I dont have enough character slots or the arcanist class unlocked. I want kahjiits that can shoot lasers out from their paws and incinerate all those creepy spiders and trolls found in the dungeons. Imagine recreating nyan cat in ESO. That would be amazing. Customizable spell effects that allow color gradients and changes. Separate fur patterns from body markings and then changing the color of those separately.

This game can improve on character customization along with adding in some new features in regards to special effects.

Then add in pop-tarts as an actual in-game food item besides various other pastries and sweets that have very special unique buffs to them such as "sugar rush (increases all movement speed and attack speed by 500% for 5 minutes. Then comes with a debuff "sugar crash" which results in the exact opposite until using emote sit or sleep)" "rainbow glitter sparkles ( makes your character sparkle any color of choice)" and "throw food item at npc (knocks down npc when thrown hard enough, crowd control effects increased when hit is successful)". This game needs more random silliness like GW2. GW2 has dungeon monsters and weapons that look like various candies such as candy corn. That is very sweet.
