People are free to make threads on what they like unless they are threatening someone. You might not agree with them but it's their opinion.
Yeah but the constant flooding of the threads become incredibly tiresome. You can pop on to have a bit of discussion about the game and all you see are multiple threads complaining about the same thing. Seriously, people should just use the salt thread and they can all bitch to their hearts content in there. It isn't even like it's constructive or going to achieve anything, this isn't a Blizzard forum, it isn't like they are monitoring for ideas. Having 10 threads about bomb warrior is pointless. Just condense it and have the bitch fest in the thread designed for exactky that....
You can say ignore those threads, fine but the runts will still flood constructive threads and repeat the same crap. Seen that 'stuffs' guy say his Italian media calling the game dead in multiple threads, there's no need for it. Its just unhappy people trying to drag anyone and everyone down with them.
We need some "op, you're a moron" posters on the forum. Their job would be to go and post in every thread that asks for nerfs (or simply complains about some decks/cards) during the first two weeks of any expansion.
It's the only way to make them feel like crap and stop posting nonsense. If most of their threads would be filled with "op, you're a moron" posts, maybe they'll become afraid of posting and start thinking more.
Unfortunately this "community" is fueled by this game's target audience. Probably because they beg their parents to buy the bundles for them and such.
There's already an over abundance of those sort of posters on this forum already. Every time someone posts anything even vaguely negative, you can guarantee about half a dozen self-righteous forumers will be calling the OP all sorts of derogatory terms and pretty much not helping the situation in the slightest. What would be better would be to have more posters who can demonstrate a little compassion and understanding when responding to people who are upset. You can always disagree with them - you just dont need to be a jerk when you do.
Especially those who immediately exclaim that the OP must suck at the game. So much hilarious stupidity wrapped in pityful pseudo-intellectuality.

Here are a few stale, sanctimonious replies that people have used to shield the game from criticism since the dawn of time:
[Salt Thread]
Git gud
OP plays X class and is salty
X is important for the game (don't forget to go completely silent when it gets nerfed)
Im glAD BlIZZ doEsNt LIstEN tO thiS coMmuNitY
Accusing OP of playing homebrew decks (only those lose games, right?)
Telling OP to switch to Wild/Standard
Assuming OP has no tech cards whatsoever (even if he does, it's not enough. 2/3rds of your deck must be tech cards before you can complain)
gAEm iS dYinG sIncE bEtA
Telling OP to wait for the next expansion
Telling OP it's too early into the current expansion (time these last two carefully and you have a cheap defense 100% of the time! How rad is that?)
You might be shocked to learn this, but using the same replies every time actually weakens your point. You'll rack up support from people who agree with you and get little more than a glance from the opposition.

Start of Year: Provoke the failure of 3 expansions, force nerfs on otherwise balanced cards, bring deckbuilding to an all-time low and get rotated one year earlier for being such a threat to the game's health. - Genn and Baku's historical entry on the White Book of Shit Design, shortly before retiring unpunished
Yet, apparently, there are not the same people who make these threads (game dying, class X is op, card Y is op, etc) after each expansion.
Unless they are trolls or simply masochistic, of course.
When you show these posters compassion, they take it as them being right... And keep on posting and arguing... Until they get fed up with the negative comments and (mostly) never come back. Which is good - maybe other games are better for them and HS has a lot of issues anyway. If we could deter them from posting in the first place it would be awesome.
Posting (especially if it is a type of complaining) is often cathartic for some people. It is a way to release the frustration of whatever is bothering them. Expecting them not to be able to do so is particularly selfish - it's all about how it affects "you"; there is nothing forcing you to read these threads or accept what is being said. And there is certainly nothing about showing compassion that leads a person to believe they are right. You can tell someone they are wrong without being cruel or unkind.
I'm not saying such posts are either right or wrong - merely that there is always a human reason for them that stems from a need to relate to other people how they are feeling. Since this game is online and the only interaction comes with people you can't speak to without braving the "friend" system, forums such as these are naturally the most likely and convenient place to vent and talk about your frustrations.
I've had a few moments after games where I've felt infuriated and wanted to make a negative post about how I hate X deck, and it's a cancer to this game and needs nerfing yesterday; and then I catch myself and realise that I don't need to do that. I'll get over it before I've finished writing the post. :-)

Nobody is forcing you to read the threads. We can ignore it and move on. If a person spams the same information that he already posted then he should face the consequences.
Did i called ur thread about Warrior non constructive? i´m not saying u are wrong with ur statement about Warrior, it´s just too early to talk about nerfs since Warrior´s kit hasn´t ever been a problem for the meta and now with the addition with certain new cards we shall see if it will be a problem for the future.
Warrior is currently sitting at 2x Tier 1 decks and 1x Tier 2 deck in the "meta" if u can even call it a meta on Day 3... once people realize that most classes have a decent amount of tech cards against bomb warrior it won´t be as effective as it MIGHT be right now.
fair enough, I assumed too much there.
Still, I don't see why we can't preemptively talk about future possibilities. People have been criticizing Blizzard countless tiems about how "they should have seen this cancer coming", but then when someone actually tries to predict stuff it's apparently "baseless whining"
Also, at the end of the day, this is Hearthpwn and regardless of whether they have a point or not, everyone on here thinks they know what's best for the game (myself included) so why act surprised when they want to share their opinions...sometimes in a less civilized manner
Its more the hearthpwn community. Ever since hsreplay has existed most of the high level players left this site. I like it for the articles but my god the forums.

Btw all decks sitting around 55-59% win rate. Noobs just suck at this game.

Use this thread for your salty complaints about the forum, please:
https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/general-discussion/212005-group-therapy-need-to-blow-off-steam-mega-salty
Threads like this will never stop, we should punish people for not posting bs like this in the whine section.

I tried having fun once. It was awful.

So what deck is stronger than the others in your opinion?
