We need better moderation on the forums.

[ItMe]

This place is becoming worse than ever. Every day there is a new troll post, and everyone falling for the bait.

Then there are toxic threads that just go on forever, and when you think they are finally off the top page, they get necro'd by bored people, who had no regard for the negativity that they bring.

But PLEASE we need some dang self control here, and some more moderation. This game has grown extremely big for its britches in the last two years, and the forums that I once found a lot more of a fun place to be, have absolutely exploded in negativity.

There is good in the world, and we can do better than be bitter.

Be the change you want to see!
Join me, and let's make more positive threads and threads that focus on sincere community engagement~
Help people! Discuss ideas! There is much good we can do!



Edit:

I played the game way back in 2013, and have followed it since the days of 1.0, and I can say for absolute certain that dev/rep communication used to be miles ahead of what it is now. The forums feel like a lawless wasteland at this point.

I've been thinking about this, and I came back to post about it (and on another thread), but I appear to have hit my post limit for the day.
I wasn't around here back in 1.0, but the post limit serves as a reminder about how lawless the forums actually really used to be. I wonder how much the forums are actually worse off now a days with our few resident pot-stirers, and how much is just looking back with rose colored glasses.

Also, Blindheart I'm sorry I can't respond in your thread.

If you somehow see this, goosing is in the action and traits menu at the very bottom in Extra.
