There is a very real, and very serious problem in the Hearthstone forums. People’s post are being deleted, and people are being suspended/banned and labelled as trolls for no other reason than they are expressing opinions and thoughts that go counter to what the majority think. We are not talking about messages containing profanity, or that contain attacks on peoples or cultures, but ideas. People are flagging ideas that they do not like or agree with, and those posts are being removed and those posters are being suspended.
Please, let that sink in for a moment. Ideas, no matter how bizzare or ludicrous sounding, are the very foundations that spark change. Even the most rediculous of ideas, when discussed, can lead to better ideas that actually lead to improvements.
I live in a country that values free speach. I understand that people have fought and sacrificed for my right to share my opinion, and to have my voice heard. I realize, as well, that there are people in the world who are still struggling to have this right, which makes me value it even more.
I have been a victim of the events I have described. My thoughts stricken from the record, my voice silenced for no other reason than people did not like the idea I put forth. When I complained, and others added their voice to mine, I was suspended.
These events have disturbed me in ways that I cannot even begin to describe in words.
