This forum went completely out of hand.

[Mazisky]

I understand the frustration about CA communication, nobody could deny it was very poorly handled.

I understand the negative reviews, which every player has the right to write regardless if some fans like it or not.

I also understand the disappointment about the last DLC and its absurd price compared to the poor content.

But this is honestly getting out of hand.

Insulting the developers or posting extremely offensive content puts you on the wrong side and it doesn't accomplish anything, the forum has become completely irrelevant and devoid of any meaningful discussion.

[Mepho]

I don't think this forum has ever been more relevant then now.

[edit]
By a wide margin as well. Basically it was utterly irrelevant and it now isn't anymore.

Where have You been a few weeks ago, when the situation was 100% the same? Or does it need to be a spectacle - and other people have to push it first?

And it maybe a right to be angry - but there´s no need to. As it´s easy to opt out.

How dare people have valid reasons to be angry.
"Have you tried just not being angry?"
Just opt out of your anger bro, duh

Took you long enough to notice the spiral

[KingOfFriedChicken]

I mean the crazies who are cursing and being just downright awful they are wrong, but their frustration over a statement of a precived attempted silence is understandable. I am pretty level headed and when I saw the statement I was like Jesus what's wrong with them...

Why does it always seem like you are being a backseat moderator?

Being angry is an emotion. There doesn´t need to be a reason or right for it. It´s pointless to talk about that people are unable to control their emotions - to "justify" it.

[Aleera]

I for one actually agree with Mazisky here.

All of his points actually. I guess hell just froze over.

[Slaytherine]

They should have foreseen this when they posted that 'discussion is a privilege', and also ban hammer. It's absurd that this is the first time I've seen this being on Steam for so long.

As do I.

For once I actually agree with Mazisky

Exactly. Yes I do agree insulting and berating people is bad and should not be allowed, but them removing CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM threads and negative reviews is LITERALLY scummy. CA needs to be held accountable for that.

[Imposter]

People just magically show up near DLC release, every time to express their disdain. They kept silent all this time, knowing that there are issues, they have acknowledged that the steam forums is where CA doesnt care to be, yet people come here demanding CA to do something anyway. Was reddit not good enough?

These people come here to punish other people on what they blame CA for and expect us to bow them. They do it by flooding these discussion threads antagonizing regulars in hopes of recruiting their efforts, when people would rather discuss other things than the same repeated threads. Hmmm.

It would be strange if people, who use these forums from time to time, actually disagree on that one. We´re here for the love. Btw: have R & M actually exchanged hearts?

They deleted certain posts before that, in certain threads, which were probably reported by the people who created these threads, or anybody else who dislikes a post or maybe even the person who wrote it. (which is how the moderation on steam works in general) And they were removed silently, so probably not many people even recognized it.

I don´t think that CA actively reads through all the posts and threads, but rather only reacts to reported ones. It may be different the last few days, when they lock certain threads - somehow at a time, when we could think that a workday in the UK starts...
