Hi Everybody,
The Dev team has been watching, and listening to input provided by many members of the community. One thing that has been consistently brought up is a lack of moderation and the general negativity of the forums.
A few members of the community have become very hostile and negative.
This hostile environment not only makes the community weaker, but it negatively impacts the development team and their production.
It is time to turn over a new leaf and weed out the negativity.
There are only a few people in this community that consistently create these problems, so we will (and have started to) step up moderation to clean up the mess.
The lynch mob mentality needs to go. Why do we need to insult each other and the development of a free mod?
It is fine to disagree, but in a diplomatic, and well posted manner.
It’s going to take a bit of getting used to, but from this point forward we are going to be taking a hard stance on negative, insulting and generally trolling type posts. We want our forums cleaned up and the community to respect each other.
For some of you, this is going to be very difficult. For some others, you will disagree. We respect the fact you may disagree and we wish you luck as you walk out the door. It is more important for us to respect and support the majority of the community that wants a friendly environment.
As part of this change, we created new forum rules. They are more detailed then in the past, but really, they are just common sense items. Treat others as you want to be treated and you really can’t go wrong.
It is time for us to come together as a community and build a better, friendlier environment. Let’s get back to having fun.
Thanks for listening
Regards
The Dev team
