These forums becoming unbearable?

ima agree with op. And please stop debating in here, making the thread be off topic, debating about the fighting :3 Everyone in general is attack each other ve the topic, using post counts, not playing, etc etc to make their point mor right. That is called mudslinging. And that does need to stop. A lot of peoples post do have an angery hostil tone.

It is a game guys, we don't need all this drama, fighting, mudslinging over it. We are no longer discussing the game, but fighting with each other.

for example getting mad @ someone for posting
"don't expect cs, they take a long time to do" is a bit much, blowing up at then for
"not knowing about it" it stupid. Maybe they know more then you think, or maybe you infsct don't really know. But that is beside the point. Point is anyone who bought ffxiv can post here. Everyone has a right to an opinion if someone makes in error insomething don't get mad, fix and explain the error calmly. Everyone, playing or not, wants a fun popular game.
so lets just make up ok.

Criticism is valuable whether it's for or against your ideas. Debate is important to have or we might as well have Tanaka back. While I feel that a lot of people on these forums (thinking of two particular people with 1k+ posts) are waaaaaaay too involved and get way too sensitive about things.

Debate needs to continue but it needs to be constructive, when we get to people fighting for no reason then that's when threads should be locked. I wouldn't go as far as to say opening the forums is a mistake (as someone said earlier), rather the lack of moderation is a mistake. Mods do their jobs, but I feel they are holding back too much, I know the community is sensitive but by allowing the forums to become a warzone you create an atmosphere where people with valuable opinions or ideas are afraid to post them in fear of getting flamed.

I've reported a lot of posts, and they do actually get deleted much of the time. I would recommend anyone finding flammatory content or offensive posts to report them with the little '!' on the bottom left side of the post. If posts get reported then mods will look at them, I know they do.

Mods have erased like four of my threads and suspended my account just as often. I think mods are quite active, myself.
