Off Topic Discussion Megathread

[Kolsykol]

Snip.

I've noticed this too.
In the end of the day there is no such thing as perfect moderation there will always be some bs that happens, but I'd rather take the moderation on this forum over the AGS moderation on the Lost Ark forums.
Especially deleting threads that are actual discussions and feedback, they've deleted A LOT of threads talking about the demon form change too.
I really REALLY hope that Smilegate decides to drop AGS at some point, the game director seem'd genuinely unhappy with them in the QnA before release he publically criticized them.

I suppose some people will say that they're right for deleting the threads because AGS already gave a response and people keep making threads about it, but that's essentially just saying that we should accept what they said and just sit down and shut up about it...
Which I fundamentally disagree with, I think people should keep voicing their concerns about these things because otherwise how will change ever happen if there's no pressure on them?
It's the same with P2W too people shouldn't just bend over backwards and take it, they should keep talking about it.
If AGS can just delete threads and pretend like they never existed then it becomes easy for them to just ignore genuine feedback and run the game like a dictatorship.
It's especially shitty when it's not even their game and we have no idea what feedback they in reality decide to communicate to the actual devs or not.
Even if the Korean devs read the forums too they won't see it if it's deleted... It's just extremely scummy.

It's the same on the Steam forums too they've deleted threads systematically... It's not even locking too but just outright deletion which kinda says something, that's just trying to hide things.
Some of the mods are clearly on a power trip...
Another thing they do too is not '' unhide '' comments that have been hidden due to abuse of the report button, both comments I agree and disagree with but a lot of the ones I see that have been hidden are totally normal and aren't rude or anything they're just genuine feedback.
And I see a lot of comments that some of the mods clearly disagree with that remain hidden permanently while some of the ones that are more in favor of their '' changes '' are unhidden.... It's so blatantly transparent especially when it's big threads and it's the OP being hidden but then another more in favor of them gets unhidden.

Ultimately they have the power over what they choose to communicate and it feels like they're abusing that power.
Like when someone is in agreement with their changes I suddenly see their CM's come out of the woodworks and be all like '' wow we hear you, I will talk to the team '' but when it's negative feedback not in line with their current line they just ignore it or delete it...
