Good read

Rule 1, 2 and 3 are so true

You're right. They really are. In DCUO there was early development mention of a quantum set they were thinking about and by launch the forums turned it into "They promised us quantum and lied! Unsubscribe!"

The GW2 mods and devs seem to handle it just fine. They lock threads, have strict forum rules, and communicate very well with everybody. So it can be done with a little effort...

They clearly have a more mature community than we do here then. I've personally watched threads that were locked for violating rules get new threads replying with "They're censoring us! They locked my thread that i started to incite violence and prejudice then banned me! Unsubscribe!"

(that wasn't a direct quote, but the gist of the thread)
