Any little bit of dissension in the post and it feels like it gets shut down. When did swtor become china? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraBob_Fl Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 That ironic moment when this thread is closed for not being about the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jett-Rinn Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Anyone else feel like they close too many threads / give too many warnings? Any little bit of dissension in the post and it feels like it gets shut down. When did swtor become china? Well if the same fifteen people would stop making the same five or six doom and fail posts maybe the Mods would ease up...but they aren't going to let folks call each other names...insult the company or insult Bioware employees...they keep saying that in the nicest way possible and some folks refuse to get it.

Pink_Saber Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) I don't have a problem with the moderation at all. It makes these boards a lot more usable than it would be if half the front page was filled with the QQ of the day. And yeah, this thread's doomed. If that's a surprise to you, you should check out the stickies on each forum. If you're getting threads closed, that may explain why.

Deshie Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I've been warned 5 times now for apparently being "rude" when I havent used a single swear word. They will warn you if you say anything like "Keep QQing/learn to play/get good" because apparently telling people they are bad is offensive.

Wolfeisberg Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 All I see them doing is keep constructive criticism threads up and running, close down any duplicate thread or non constructive criticism or praise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExBrillig Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Actually, this will get locked for being about moderation. And IMO, they don't moderate enough, there's still plenty of trolling going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdell Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) The forum mods need to learn what "constructive" means. As it stands now, their version of "constructive" means things that agree with the OP. Anything other than that, and you get your post removed. It's almost like being in 1940's Germany. I've made lots of legitimate counter arguments on these forums, and they always get removed. Edited January 31, 2012 by mattdell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink_Saber Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) It's almost like being in 1940's Germany. If you think comparing people to Nazis is "constructive," you need a dictionary. A little perspective on history and a bit less exaggeration might do you some good too. Edited January 31, 2012 by Pink_Saber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't true at all, I see a ton of constructive criticism threads not closed, and I have only seen non constructive threads or duplicate threads get closed. /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jett-Rinn Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Their forums, their rules. That's just the way it goes for every game's forums. Pretty much and honestly they have let some really rude folks continue to post for weeks now....so it isn't nearly as restrictive as some folks claim.

I've made lots of legitimate counter arguments on these forums, and they always get removed. Legitimate counter arguments don't get removed - at least not for being legitimate counter arguments. If, in the process of presenting it, you conduct yourself in a manner which violates the rules and merits post-removal, well, I've seen a lot of those ones disappear. They do enforce their rules. Why should that be a surprise to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
