Why are our forums public?

[xfly01]

I did a search and didn't see anything pertaining to this, I just have to ask why don't we make these forums private to registered users only? I see no need at all to allow anyone especially blizzard full access to everything we do and how we do it, am I crazy in thinking this?

Many agree with you including me, but you'll have to ask bossland

I agree with you that there should be at least a small "private" section for discussing how we do things.

It won't stop Blizzard from getting in, but it will keep the average Non-Botting WoW Player out.
This would potentially help keep them from becoming so-called "Bot Hunters".


You'll probably get some flames for this thread, but don't worry about them.

Although, in the end you will 99% chance get this answer: It will be staying open. Thread Closed.


Good luck though,

Would make sense making the majority of subforums private, but the support forum needs to stay public. In the end, though, it wouldn't matter too much since a Blizz employee could register just as easily. The only thing it would help with is spam.

Not unless if they made a section where members could only view it if they actually bought a session.

Would limit some peeping eyes in some fashion.

But then again, a mod here already claimed:

But we got nothing to hide

What I meant was some implementation of a group for users who have purchased HB.
Then we could have a private section for "How do you send gold, move mats, how long are you logged in."
Basically a "How we work our bots/gold around" section.

But as I said above, 99% chance.

Heh. No matter how much I look at this in any perspective, just seems kinda illogical to not do this.

In any event, as long as Bosslands or whoever the hell is deciding this, I'm pretty sure they have their reasons.

the op didnt look hard enough, we talked about this last week in GREAT detail why they arent closed off, and why they wont be closed off.
