Thank you to the moderators

Its nice to see some action being taken, even if we really need much more direct action taken moderation. I get that trolling will always be a thing on forums like this, but it has turned very vicious and vindictive of late, from actively targeting users with sick insults, not to mention the constant use of LGBTQ+ issues as a shield to stoke the angry in almost ever viewpoint. Its sad because this could be a great community hub, but this just hurt everyone involved outside of a few immature edge lords.

I can’t praise this Zephyr Im sorry I want to stay hopeful that this place will improve but honestly they deleted a thread that was made to name and shame and they still didn’t ban the user himself AND he continued to name and shame:

That account is probably still not banned even after this and even if, it wouldn’t matter because they have dozens alts.
At this point Im actually believing one of them is either a mod or they are awfully favoured because any active mod would see what is going on with all the alts and all the threads made to incite people for “fun” but nothing changes and it could be EASILY changed and it’s clear they are around, but choose to do nothing. Can’t be praised unless thanked for the bare minimum…honestly this matter should be taken out of the forums and talked about at this point for anything to change.

oooh, i got named and shamed! What did I do??

On topic: you're absolutely right Sassy, I think it's just nice to see SOMETHING done, even if it isn't even really a slap on the wrist. What's concerning is that he does seem to be escalating his behaviour, which makes everything nastier for sure. I'm not sure what we could ever do to get SE to notice or care. Maybe have a Japanese poster try to post something on our behalf in their forum? idk.

You're making some good points there. This is good feedback that the moderators could use and learn from.

Removing a thread does nothing. 24 hours is usually when that thread is at it's busiest so they removed a thread that was winding down. Banning is where it's at. Even if it's an alt. One alt down means the next could follow right along with it.

They make like 6 a day now. So one every 24 hours is the barest of minimums.

Thats why honestly SE should be made aware of this outside of this forum for something to actually start changing because it is becoming shameful how this place is handled.

Honestly I don’t think they care all too much about these forums at all. There’s 0 evidence that devs read anything posted here and there is 0 CM interaction.

I know this place clearly isn't the main source for new people to come voice their concerns, likings etc of the game. That clearly is reddit, discord and twitter. However just for the amount of people who do want to come here...the amount of nonsense troll posts and also said posters hijacking other threads to bring them down its just not a good look. I mean heck if we wanted to name or shame like he has there are plenty of alts they could banhammer in one go...but they're spending a good bit of money on these alts XD

...but they're spending a good bit of money on these alts XD

are they though? they have quite gleefully posted how they do not pay for their accounts.

if they are truly not, then they are not spending any money on the alts, so that argument for their untouchability flies out the window.

I would very much like anything thrown out of the window with these trolls but deleting threads doesn't do too much. The issue that is concerning here is if you are getting reports about these threads from this particular few people and this is abundant in being reported surely you must think hmmm maybe its best to ban the user now rather then let them cook.

I cant disagree. however we may think, the moderators clearly have different ideas or guidelines
