Guys, you have got to deal with reddit

Ok so a guy made a perfectly valid post (now deleted by mods) about how terrible the PoE subreddit is.

Frequent downvotes of, well, everything
About 5-6 people who seem to just sit there and post negative comments all day
Helpful videos (e.g. ZiggyD/Liftingnerdbro) always downvoted
etc...

And guess what, the mods DELETED this thread!!!

Every single good player I know avoids the subreddit (except to troll sometimes for fun) because it is so toxic.

@GGG, you simply have got to reel these people in if the subreddit is the only way you will communicate with us!

Them's the rules. It's called a democracy. And it sucks pretty much most of the time.

Its a democracy when the mods delete this thread yet leave up loads of threads with title like "XXX = Scammer"???

Well obviously yes, it's always been like that, just check the US.

Where are the knights to tell us about how toxic this forum is, and how friendly and helpful reddit is? They seem to be late...have they lost their horses?

On a slightly more serious note, I think I've decided that these forums have been quite nice the past week or so, and it's pretty clear why.

GGG doesn't control the subreddit, what do you expect them to do?

Not use it as the communication medium, maybe?

That doesn't really help the OP though, because he wanted them to deal with his threads being deleted and other content he likes being "downvoted."

Chris will never give up on reddit, it's where the cool kids hang out.

For subreddit you can find who's the main moderator for it. If it's some fanboys that doesn't like your opinions he can delete it. That's just how it works.

Be glad they haven't instantly shadow ban you yet. Which is another RainbowKappa way they deal with people expressing their opinions.

edit: also sometimes the official game company/forum mods could have influence over subreddit if they have connection with the reddit mods via ingame advantages or via blackmailing. A infamous incidents happened in one of the mmos where the game company is influncing reddit subreddit and even twitch by blackmailing and working with the reddit mods.

Fun read https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoW36Rjh-w0.

This is the world first guild getting shutdown for no reason because their rival guild somehow convinced the game developers to ban them for no reason in order to get world first themselves.

They can also ban your account if they feel like it, hiding behind an anonymous moderator tag and make up any reason for it.

I got a ban once and the reason they used was 'name calling'. The really funny thing was, on a sub where every second post is name calling, they picked one of the few people who had never called anybody names, ever.
