Rootsie Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Seriously, out of the last 5 threads I started reading, 4 of them were eventually closed by a mod. Most of them weren't duplicate posts, but the mods still closed them and linked to other threads that were vaguely similar. Thread discussing patch 1.1? Close and link to the patchnotes. Thread discussing different issues in patch 1.1? Close and link to one thread talking about one specific issue. Thread comparing SW:TOR to another MMO? Close because THIS. IS. STARWARS! And this thread will probably get closed and linked to the forum rules or something. That's my rant for the day. Sorry for wasting your time. /closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tehfrigginlazer Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I think they are becoming too heavy handed with the moderation on the forums lately myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imtrick Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Thank God they're closing the repetitive threads. Most of them are just full of complaining about the same stuff every other thread is complaining about. Not that I don't think the complaints are valid, but we don't need a new thread for every person who thinks their hatred of a particular issue is somehow unique.

Closing discussion threads in this board, and linking to other boards, isn't going to fix the problem. It's just going to cause more people who have the same complaints start a new thread, because they don't see one already here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saurakk Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Exactly. Too many people feel their complaints are unique or their spin on it NEEDS to be read so they start a new thread right on top of the many others saying the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inseeisyou Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Basically every thread created was about the Ilum crisis and they have just created a graveyard for that discussion to be ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuka Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Because it's BioWare's forum and they can do as they wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imtrick Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Closing discussion threads in this board, and linking to other boards, isn't going to fix the problem. It's just going to cause more people who have the same complaints start a new thread, because they don't see one already here. And how is having multiple threads on the same issue supposed to help? If the mods can redirect to another thread, at least they are aware there's another thread, so somebody at Bioware has seen the complaints. Why take over the whole front page with them? How about if someone has a different issue, and is knocked right off the front page because it's not the QQ of the moment? I don't see how that's going to help, either.

Novati Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I have to agree. Alot of the closed threads did in someway invite possible constructive criticism and discussion, and yet, they were closed in around 5-10 minutes of them being created. Seriously, the mods have to stop being so trigger-happy. I love reading this forum and all the comments from both sides of the fence (I'm in the middle atm) and understand that derailed threads need to be closed, but this really is getting silly.

ZlupZlup Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Its because there patch is so terrible and the lag is so bad there trying to hide it, its just a shame there are already so many videos on youtube of the fail that was once known as illum.

al_giordino Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Well if they had a search function, that would cut down on the amount of threads. But mainly, I think they have a trouble with forum posters revealing the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuuj Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Exactly. Too many people feel their complaints are unique or their spin on it NEEDS to be read so they start a new thread right on top of the many others saying the same thing. This.

imtrick Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Well if they had a search function, that would cut down on the amount of threads. Look at the top of the page. It's there. Has been for a little while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
