Positivity!

[Theodric]

People come to these forums to leave feedback, positive or negative on the game for developers to consider. Forum dwellers come in to derail those threads and the result is no useful feedback being left behind.

If you like something about the game, people immiediatly remind you that the game is trash. If you don't like something about the game, people will call you a negative nancy and tell you to "unsub".

The fights on every single thread are the reason they ignore our forums. A lot of people here have the maturity of a child, and take someone disagreeing with them as a personal insult. The forums really needs to be modernized, and we need moderators to do their job. Until then, welcome to the Wild West.

I don't think that's the reason. Even when the forum was less chaotic than it is at present this place was still largely ignored with community representatives posting to introduce themselves and then never showing up again.

I made a thread requesting more engagement, as can be found here:

This place, despite its flaws, really isn't anywhere near as bad as the likes of reddit or twitter when it comes to voicing feedback. Especially the latter, where it's all too easy to scroll down the comments to official posts and see some highly inappropriate commentary and images or get viciously attacked over simple personal tastes.

Any issues related to chaos due to a lack of moderation is absolutely not the fault of regular forum goers.
