I think it's a fair proposal.

also for further context: https://forums.warpp...b/#entry2905453

it wont be offtopic so speak to your heart's content.

Once upon a time such discussions were just moved to a different thread btw instead of instant shut down, everything now is an excuse to lock a thred, good job.

The thread is unlocked and most posts are left untouched what we have posted is the following.

Reopening the thread.
 
As a note: Two things were an issue in this thread.
 
1. Its all about adding to the discussion. We have no desire to require that users post whole essays when responding to or reviewing proposals made by other users but we do request that they add to the discussion. All we ask is that users at least say a simple like such as "I don't think this is a good idea." At least give the poster a full sentence. The majority of the unhidden posts in this thread meet this criteria and are fine.
 
2. Keep postings clear of expletives and pejoratives. I know on the internet it is common to use words such as [Kittens], [Puppies], [Quokkas] and other bad words (even if made in very broad strokes such as referring to a larger group as [Koalas]) to mark a serious point, and I am guilty of this as well in my private off forum postings but we should be really avoid posting these words at all.
 
Please just keep it Civil.

and i was told i was the dramatic one >.> the forums is quiet because there isn't anything appealing to discuss. tbh for me, it was never a matter of moderation. that excuse for me was just some sort of clamour and something people apparently got away with before and was a barrier for new people to actually discuss here. who cares if my posts get hidden for so long as they filter it with the ones where i actually contribute

especially with some of us not even playing the game as much anymore, we should be encouraging a less toxic community

And the many cases of over moderation and instant discussion shut down? Will stay as is? Because at times it really feels like there's no point posting as you have the feeling the thread/post will just get nuked.
Let alone the fact that as of lately any post about anything moderation was met with an instant "please foward it to Astra/etc etc etc" when we all know that
1. it sometimes take ages for you guys to even read them(i know you are busy at times but still)
2. by doing so and immediatelly shutting down the conversation all you do is propagate the image of " do not complain about us in public please thx k bye" and it discourages the hell out of ppls participation in the matter
3. it will most likely result in nothing anyways sadly '-'

i know a lot of the flak you guys get lately is undeservely due to HQ not being very helpfull with their overall decisions for the franchise, but one of the few stuff that is entirely up to you (forums) is in just such a sad state now.

it was bound to happen after years of hypocrisy, and exclusivity. the people you used to converse with are no longer here, when they all quit nobody was interested enough to join forums thanks to several distasteful behavior. basically the same treatment i have been giving because that's what i recieved, simply put. but that doesnt give us the excuse not to turn it back around at the very least

Hey andxres!
 
I realize cinnamon gets a lot of flak but the goal is to prevent personal attacks in the community. I do not believe we look for a reason to kill threads. There was no real need to call Cinnamon out so kindly refrain from doing so as it is extremely disruptive and somewhat disrespectful to everyone.
 
If you think the mods are over moderating Astra/I will do my best to review it fairly but if they are also getting personally attacked it is harder for the thread to remain on topic in a healthy manner..
