Why open discussion contradicts easy management und civil behaviour is beyond me.

Because a lot of people think open discussion means they don't have to behave themselves.

So its ok to cut out all the sarcasm, jokes and disagreements and make it a happy place where everyone has to agree with one another?

Quite frankly i rather take a thousand insults than get 1 person to say "i would disagree with you but i cant because i get put on probation".

Also in favour of removing the entire moderator team. Not adjust the current one but completely remove it with one or two new people whose sole task is to remove illegal content. Nothing else.
(My one post before I get banned again.)

Aye also in favor!! A certain ruler mention before they should all be fired

Where in the rules does it say you can't disagree? Freedom of speech does not apply to a privately managed forum. Freedom to be heard is a complete myth as well.

I would dare anyone to bring up a POE/GGG relevant topic that you think will get you probated, and I'll make a thread stating where I stand on that topic without being probated with three exceptions:

Can't be spam, can't be illegal and can't be a duplicate thread.

Seriously. I will express my opinion fully and not have a single RBS or probation. I sometimes place my threads in the wrong subforum, so they might be moved but I would like it to be in the right place.....that is a service, not me being muted.

I think some are missing the difference between expressing your opinion in an adult manner and expressing it in any manner you feel like.

I would offer to also post a thread expressing some else's opinion but I think we can all agree that it will end up hollow, and probably tongue in cheek. I'll also be quoted later as if it is my own stance.

Easier to just represent myself.

edit: I can explain the difference between a 1 picture meme and a "First" posting to you, if you don't mind. A "first" posting contributes nothing, it's just wasted space. That's not true for 1 picture memes. They might be unfunny to you or derail the thread a bit, but at least they contribute 'something'.

Yeah, even most of the meme posts are at least intended to express SOME sort of opinion about whatever they were replying to.

Got my post fucking deleted when it was a one image meme reply and that's all it needed but if I see any fucking single meme ever again then someone's not doing their "job"

I'm personally taking a break from Path, money and all, because of the forum nonsense. I tie a lot of my fun in my hobbies in the attitude of the staff and off game banter and I don't care for the community side of GGG at all right now.

Might seem like sour grapes but it is not - in today's gaming market there are many dozens of good games all fighting for eyeballs. It is easy to simply pick up and move on to something more fun. No one needs to be a part of a thing where they obviously are not wanted.

So with that - take it light fellas and lasses - maybe I'll catch yeh in a year or so or never. o/

Hi there!

Just thought I'd drop in to address a few concerns regarding the new guidelines.

Please know that this revision has been brought in due to the excessively large amount of hostile and defamatory posts aimed at individuals on the forums. We are in no way aiming to censor or cull the community's opinions or freedom of expression.

However, it is our hope that this can be done without the need for aggressive content or by directly attacking any individual who chooses to use the forum, regardless of their background or playstyle.

Our community manager is working very hard to meet the needs of everyone who uses the forums, both current and prospective. The team will only action where completely necessary after warnings and repeat offenses.

THIS!

1. Being upset because you cant be a douche on the forums is not a legitimate complaint. If you want to contribute, contribute. If you want to try and fight with someone, go elsewhere. Forums aren't here to provide you with some feeling of being better than another player, or justify your self worth.

2. Saying that the team needs to be fired is petty. Fired for what, following the new guidelines? Doing their job? If you want better interaction with the team, stop breaking the rules and pretending you've been hard done to.

3. The forum's are still fun, now more so for watching the people in this thread pretend they have been mistreated. Still very few 'I posted to tell a guy his dad needs to die', just all 'wtf Ive been probated omg new rules suck! omg fire the team!' Grow up.

*edited to reduce quote. PS notice I didn't target anyone individually? Notice that I wont be on probation? It's almost like the new rules work fine. WOW!

The amount of childish and ridiculous posts in this thread, REALLY shows why some steps were needed to change things in here.

This isn't happening though, no need for hyperbole.
