Guild Wars 2

I realize this should go in the suggestions sub-forum, but I feel like it will get the most attention in this sub-forum (perhaps another issue entirely in itself, or I might be incorrect in assuming that). In any case, I think it would greatly improve the Dev Tracker feature of these forums if it filtered out the ever popular responses: “Thank you and your post has been moved/edited/censored” or the “Keep it respectful, friendly, and on-topic”.

These posts help people understand why certain moderation tactics are utilized, and I encourage the CM’s and moderators to keep posting them, but it would be fantastic if they were removed from the Dev Tracker posts. I believe the real reason a person clicks on the Dev Tracker button is to garner new information about the community and the actual game that is GW2. It is somewhat of a burden to scroll through the dross of moderation explanations.

Thanks for the read.

I’ve requested this before too. Dev tracker is usually used for us to get the Dev opinions on topics (we’re working on this, we’re aware of this bug, this is how i feel about this mechanic, etc). That’s the point of a dev tracker. It would be great if devs had the option to flag or unflag their post for tracking at any time, but i’m sure if that option were easy they’d already be doing it.

But yes please consider this a vote to clean up the dev tracker so we can use it!

Maybe people could stop creating “do something about bots” threads and such that keep getting closed, and refrain from “a mod closed my thread so I’m making a new thread to complain about it” threads that also keep getting closed. With less thread closings there’s less chaff in the wheat and mods have more time on their hands to manually edit them out.
