Maybe they are going thru and deleting those that don't meet "forum guidelines"?
Some of those titles looked like they NEEDED to be deleted.. hehe

yeah I know was wondering what i missed>< I don't fourm 24/7 and was shocked what i missed in the little time i was gone.

I guess i can make a real point for this thread.

I really would like people to think before they type and try to be less rude.

being rude to other players is like being rude to SE for having these forums. Need to play nice so they keep them.

You ask me, there's not enough threads being blocked out. I want Bacon Mage back. I don't know how the "Down with gear swapping" thread is remaining afloat. Not constructive at all, it's only a destructive, mind melting waste of space and words. :/ Too harsh? I don't care, it needs to be locked/deleted.

From my understanding in the ToS threads really need to be constructive and some seem to hid under the raider.

bacon mage is not constructive, the only way around that is to have sections for playful threads and make it more clear what SE expects, see thread:

why did the airship thread get taking down?
someone not like the idea and bashed it off topic?

I see a lot of stuff getting redlined. I hate to think some of the job adjustment threads will end up the same way just because someone doesn't like someone else's suggestions. I guess some people feel the need to shoot down any idea that will change the game/job from the way they think it should be.

There's a difference between proposing reasonable adjustments for a job and something inane like creating the troll-based Bacon Mage. Unfortunately, as something I've found out over the years trying to get SE to pay attention to RDM's melee side, differing opinions can attract the worst of behaviors to either try to put you down or insist their side is right (and then try to slide in a jab against your character).

i dont think it's ideas bringing the worst out in people, it lies more in your first point, where everyone has an idea, but they cant tell the difference between something reasonable and something completely asinine like 'please remove relics.' just because one has an idea, does not make it a good idea, i'm glad the US works like this, because ive met some people with really awful ideas for laws.
