Genuine Question Here

[Fawkes]

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.

[Alleluia]

So transparent what you actually want lol

... Well, I would hope so? She was talking plainly.

Like what?...can you be more transparent please?
Im not following your "Gotcha" Moment here.

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

"We don't want an echo chamber!! We genuinely want to understand the criticisms!!"

EDIT2: Since apparently there have been some post deletions, my down arrows no longer make sense. Thanks, Mods. lol carry on.

I would try to return to being back on topic, but "Do you want people who disagree with you to leave? Y/N?" is a bit silly and can't really be legitimately responded to other than "No." really. No offense, OP.

Or for the love Jebus, get some real Moderation in here.
Maybe General would be completely fine, if rules were enforced with a Mod Presence.

There was actually heavy moderation back during the HW/SB era. But then back then there were people crying about unjust bans. I don't think I've personally seen any unjust bans back then, only heavy-handed ones. Like people who are generally nice and well-liked got a permanent ban on their first offence. They could probably stand to strike a balance between heavy-handed moderation and almost none at all tbh.

^ This right here is the risk of going too far with increasing moderation. This is why I'm not in favor of mass reporting or people trying to force the mods to act. Both of those are good ways to get the mods to start over-moderating.

(Obviously in specific cases, if you earn a ban, you should still get the ban even if you have a good record)

Nah, clearly I am the only real poster left here. Obviously. Certainly. You guys can trust me. 100%.

My favorite is people dismissing others opinions out of some tinfoil hat conspiracy theory that the poster is a troll alt. Certainly makes for a convenient way to dismiss people who disagree with you.

B-b-but! You're a T-T-Titanmen alt!!!

Oh shoot....what if THATS the reason they are absent...because they are afraid of getting abusive?
Or rather they have had an issue with the Heavy-Handed bans and it might have been leading to backlash they dont want....

Hmmm...food for thought. I only came into the forums around the time Stormblood was ending and they were promoting Shadowbringers

Ok yeah, I can see the problem, or a possible problem there.
Well dang.
