face_hindu Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 What does this mean? Hello everyone! This thread has been temporarily closed for maintenance and will be made available again shortly. Thank you for your patience! LOL Sometimes they go through and tidy up a whole thread. When it goes back up, it'll say "We recently had to remove all posts with people calling other people trolls, even though they probably were, in fact, trolls. Please keep it clean, and don't say these words: -troll -WoW Nor should you attempt to quote James Ohlen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsarionRDM Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 By 'mucking out the thing' you mean censoring? Easy there tiger, before you go all 1st amendment on us. It means what I said. They're removing posts that start flame wars, continue said flame wars or just break the forum rules that you and I all agree to when we joined here. Hell, I put a toe over the line more than occasionally, and the few times I've been slapped on the wrist I knew I had it coming. In other words, PjPablo, they're trimming the idiocy due to people's lack of self control/restraint or any sense of polite social interaction.

I just find it odd that a whole thread gets shut down so they can sort it out. Then again I am still waiting for a reply to my email to community support on why they censor so many threads. When I sent the email the other night 1/4 of the threads on the front page were closed by mods. That just seems excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter, ya know, it's Smokey, so his toe slipped over the line a little, big deal. It's just a game, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zangaboing Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 What does this mean? Hello everyone! This thread has been temporarily closed for maintenance and will be made available again shortly. Thank you for your patience! LOL It means there are so many posts that need to be removed and/or they keep increasing at such a pace that the moderators had to close the thread, remove the posts and re-open it.

Nah I've been saying they've been a bit overzealous on the moderation for years. I do seem to remember it being much worse though before retail release/massive beta invites.
