    The other thing with most forums is that there is an expected base level of people liking the thing that the forums are intended to discuss. Not in a "love every part of it or you're out" way, but in a well moderated forum there's going to be a point at which a moderator says "you've done nothing here but attack the game and people who enjoy the game; you are clearly not our target audience and you're making discussion difficult for the people we actually want to cater to". And then the person would have the choice of being more civil or leaving.

    None of that is happening here. There's no control over negativity, it drives away the people who want a balanced forum for discussing the game, and it gets further and further entrenched because new arrivals decide this is an unpleasant place to be.

    It's like if they were running a hotel or a restaurant. They can let everyone in, and let disruptive guests run riot and ruin the experience for everyone else, or they can say no to a small number of people and encourage more pleasant people to stay as a result.

    And yeah, maybe the person with a negative opinion has some good ideas for improvement, but if they do nothing but hang around and berate the staff – and then berate the other patrons for daring to enjoy the place as it is – then all the good ideas and intentions don't matter. Doubly so if it's just a matter of personal taste.

    The truth they don't want you to hear, for fear that it would break your feeble little minds is this.

    Every single poster on this board is an alt except me. I am the only genuine poster left alive after the great purge of July 7, 2021.

    But my Alt is a Hrothgar.....and this sounds like Im gonna get Purged in July.
    But for what? Imagining why Id get Purged is more Mind Breaking then the idea that every person on the Forums is an Alt
