SimpleSiren Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Just a warning, SimShity did this it did not turn out well for their game. The studio doesn't even exist anymore cause the treated complaints as nuisances instead of complaints, drowned out unhappy players. Just a thought. Never turns out good for the studios that do this. Ever. And I dont mean this to be mean or anything like that, Its just a fact. Simshity, Rust ect all did it they are ghost towns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Where is the dislike button? Either way people, such as yourself need to learn the difference between actual censorship, where a legitimate negative opinion is silenced, versus actually moderating threads which do not comply with the TOS or are simply abusive trolling or contribute nothing. Their forum their rules, and I hope the moderators are more active here, as the steam forums are a cesspool, and whatever threads get locked very often deserved it.

Demran Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Usually 2 types of threads get deleted. 1. Openly Discussing hack/cheating on Forums. Which they want people to send to their mails instead of openly discussing them on Forums, so they can secretly go and watch those people by becoming invisible to them. And catch on sight to directly Ban them. 2. Posts that has no point, and/or that are out of it's path so much by endless flames, that it would be impossible to get in track anymore.

Nubsly Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I can confirm we will lock any and all threads discussing bans and hacks. I can also confirm we typically lock threads that are disruptive to the community and cause more harm than good and are typically going to devolve into flame wars, fighting, and trolling. If you want to discuss something other than bans, hacking, or other generally socially inappropriate things and can maintain a mature discussion on it, we probably won't touch it, but it's still at our discretion what we do and don't allow. I also wanted to touch on the whole free speech/censorship aspect, Free speech is not a free pass to be an ass to everyone. Free speech covers the topics you can discuss, not how abusive you can be while discussing them. But again, when a thread crosses that threshold is at our discretion, and furthermore we're not a country trying to revoke your human rights -Nubsly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadman Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Bit of an overreaction by the OP. If they locked a thread of yours then just PM a mod to explain why if you don't know. As someone who has administered a forum before, most threads that get locked or deleted blatantly deserve it for breaking forum rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jojo Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I quited a game before ARK because they forced censorship in the forum, but never took care about the discussion in global chat. Instead of give an official statements in the forum about something, they deleted the threads and gave warnings without reason. So the community and the rumors has overtaken in game and that affected more hate about every patch, because the community and developers had different views.

Facepunch had a policy the very same and loads were put off by the over strict rules. I've talked countless times against ETA's, I mean seriously a looot. Since I live by logic not by my emotions. I even suggested ideas that other companies are using. Never have they been Locked or Deleted to this date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demran Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Just now, BritishBullDog said: Well i was banned It must be because of the contend in it. If it is proper feedback, constructive criticism rather than destruction all over the place, and no flame wars in the replies section. I don't see any reason of it getting deleted. On the other hand, whenever people rightfully speak against the ETA's, some part of the community I call them "Fanboys without logic" (hence Feedbacks are written for the sake of the Game and Devs - no one would spend the time and write a feedback for a game that they do not love) get very touchy, and start to flame nonstop. And that sometimes might end up with a Lock or Deletion, especially if you reply to them in "their level of respect" towards you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facepunch had a policy the very same and loads were put off by the over strict rules. I've seen plenty of posts of complaints about all aspects of the game, including missed ETAs. I see the same people still complaining. I'm sorry you were banned, but I suspect it was due to 'how you said it' and not as much 'what you said'. Honestly, I get tired of some of the excessive responses people post (not saying you did) and I find a stricter policy to be quite refreshing. However, it's just my opinion. Maybe you can contact them directly to find out exactly what the problem was and address it with them, if you haven't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember rust is only sec to ARK in ea sales it was number one. That guy running rust is a complete ass and tool. Now the most popular ea game is dead for the most part because of their practices. You guys are def better but its a thin line to cross before you start losing people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
