Again with the GW2 Moderators.

[Auron]

I'm sure some of you remember my last post, about how some of the GW2 forum mods (Official not this one) are Amateurs, due to the nature of my post's which were so bad apparently, and even here some thought I was rightfully suspended. Well, Ladies and Gentleman, I give you, my third suspension on there forums for...lol oh god, just read them.

I've written an email to there actual forum team this time, I'll keep you updated.

What in the F, thats brutal, very unprofessional lol sorry to see that.

They have forum rules....you keep breaking them. Of the three you posted, only the middle one gives me a moment of pause, but then, they changed the thread title...and we don't know what the original one was.

Of the other two, the joke one was amusing, but apparently that's not the sort of thing they want on their official forums. So why post that sort of thing there? I think it's more like traffic control than anything else. Too many nonsense posts and serious posts get lost. That can happen here too, but we don't have rules against it.

The final post about being bored really helps no one and it's not on topic and frankly I'd delete it from an official forums too.

You being bored helps other people how, exactly? What is the relevance to other people?

You're used to being on more free form forums that let you say anything you want, within reason, but I can honestly tell you that there are tons of forums out there with specific purposes that won't let anything on that doesn't further the conversation. You should see some of my publishers emailing lists, if you think that's strict.

Bottom line is you have an idea of what you think would be fair/good to post. They have an idea of what should be posted. They don't match. Why keep trying?

And when you find out that your stuff isn't wanted there, why come here to complain about it?

I totally agree with their decision to suspend you. And since you a) admit it on a public forum, thus submitting yourself to potential humiliation and b) you've admitted it was the third time... I think it's time to question the question that's been burning in everyone's mind right now... when are you going to learn?

I don't understand how me replying to some guy raging about there being no end game and me replying with "Games only been out a month, chill" deserves a suspension lmao. And the Original thread title had 'Fix' in it, which having that word there was 'Too demanding' apparently.

That thread got moved to off-topic anyway, and it got kinda popular so as it got moved I thought there was nothing wrong, but then me posting 'lmao' to my own thread and again suspended.

No I've played tons of games and with that many forums, as I like to be an active user and not once have I had this kind of nonsense. Your saying I know right/wrong and it don't match there rules or whatever but who cares when I get suspended for saying 'Games only been out a month, chill' to some guy raging and swearing about no end game you know.

But hey, I post here because i find it stupid & hilarious, and hopefully other people can get more aware of the Amateurs working as there moderators and this is my feedback for them, because the way things are going everyone will just use gw2guru or this, Which will probably be better.

So when someone says something amusing, or funny, your not allowed to reply with the typical 'lol' or 'haha' etc. Instead I should elaborate and say something like;

Hello, I read this post and it caused me to laugh. Every individual varies in their neurological pathways through their “boxes” in their brain to reach the output of laughter from a number of different inputs. Laughter is caused by certain visual or audio stimuli, often by perception of the unexpected or the incongruous. So in short, reading this post was unexpected, and caused me to laugh. Thanks.

I'm just going to ignore you, your obviously a moron.

[Fey]

when are you going to learn?

I lol'd a lil. But the mods on the official forums are actually really strict. Friends of mine have been banned for literally no reason before. I Keep getting the feeling that ArenaNet doesn't actually know how the internet functions. Especially on a forum about a video game.

Anet said up front in a blog post that the forums for Guild Wars 2 won't be like other game forums and that they wouldn't really allow the same sorts of stuff. So far, at least they're sticking to their word.

It's not really supposed to be a social forum, I think, but more an information forum.

As to telling people to chill because they have a concern...while I appreciate that may seem fine to you and even supportive of Anet, if a person has a concern telling them to chill isn't helpful at all. Do you really suspect telling someone to chill will actually cause them to chill? Do you think that opinion answers their issue? I don't.

I get where you're coming from, based on expecations of other game forums, you expect to be able to behave the same way here, but that's now what this forum is. This is much more like my publishers forums, and they're for serious business and not fooling around. Casual, but useless comments will be removed.

Since you know this, why keep posting there?

Really I just like being active. I mainly post in Thief sub, there's so much rage over there, about nerf this nerf that, thief is op, this is op, and as a player I'm concerned because of this, and even more concerned seeing as how my profession has actually been nerfed every single patch it's getting ridiculous, I made a big post over there about it saying it's all exaggerated, and posted a lot of fact's and numbers, but got suspended for having '@ArenaNet' in the title.

They nerfed Pistol whip to the point auto attacks do more damage than it, when quickness was the problem, there balancing team obviously didn't even test it. And I feel it's because of the mass of players still being new to PvP would rather cry instead of countering which, you know, is always the same story in every MMO especially over any Assassin class. But yeah that's it.

That's what I mean though. They don't seem to know how the internet functions. Forums are social hubs. Between the GW2 Wiki and the GuildHead database, the majority of people that go to forums aren't looking for actual information. They're looking for people to talk to, kill some down time at work, theorycrafting, discuss the game, post something funny they found on the internet, etc.

It's not about what ArenaNet wants to do, it's that they don't seem to really know what people actually do. Like how they made it harder to get gold ranks in WvW and have removed some of the event rewards. They wanted to give people rewards for anything they did. Apparently it never occurred to them what people would actually use them for.

Same can go for their advertising campaigns, just in general. Like that legendary video that came out to "explain" legendaries, doesn't explain hardly anything about them. The guy just goes "Oh yeah we made these cool weapons and they have cool effects. Here look at shiny clips of them while I don't actually tell you anything about them or how hard they are to get. They change your footsteps lol". It just seems like they don't get it.

Brilliant designers. Not very good at the social aspect. That's all. With the exception of actually communicating with their community. I give them so many props and +innanets for that. More game dev's could learn from that example.

It's their site, their rules, don't like it, get out. I go there sometimes but that's why I mostly post here instead, because that iron fist of theirs is a lil' too strong for my tastes.

I think it is breath of freash air the game forums... it a lot better then some other game we all know and love...
