Just been over at reddit ...

Was reading the sticky post on the top

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/4yr8jt/thank_you_to_the_community_brief_update/

It says at the bottom:"After /u/MeetWayneKerr's well organized post collecting discrepancies in promised game features, as well as many popular suggestion threads, we will begin to harden our enforcement of Rule 7 ("ad nauseum") in relation to suggestions and "missing feature" posts. "

This translates to: "who is opening more threads about misleading marketing gets banned"

i think it's interesting how HG and affiliates threaten to ban people who just gave them a ton of money only for pointing out SM lied in order to get to your money. I think that's not exactly professional behaviour for a game-producer.

"Sean Murray threatens to ban people on reddit" is not invalid? This topic is just as misleading as a certain gametrailer when it comes to that to be honest. I'm all for criticism, but if you want to be taken seriously, at least make sure what you say is based on some sort of fact or thruth. The sean face emoticon can be used by anyone.

show evidenc who the identity of the mod is and if you can't gtfo. I'm not backpaddling on your word alone. Your BS is as good as mine. Show facts.

It's official NMS-reddit and it's sticky top-post written by someone who seems to have authority. It's most likely written by HG team - nothing indicates otherwise. Your move.

It's pretty obvious that this is just a regular mod if you just look at his previous posts. He could in some way be connected to HG, but that is in fact your claim to prove. At least I don't see anything suspicious about him.

You make the topic and I have to prove your words? My move?

nope, you have to prove your own. I said: nothing indicates otherwise.

At this point you're talking out of your ass.

I see, the stockholmers are running strong again ...

So you claim the poster of that article is Sean Murray? Think again buddy...
Also leaving out the part where it sais search instead of double post just so you can make your own interpretation is a bit obvious isn't it?

I find it interesting that Mods leave posts like this up, in droves which is clearly defined as spam, but they will close other threads regarding mods for the game. Obvious agenda is obvious.

OP is an obvious child and has no idea how reddit works. The subreddit is community run; it has nothing to do with HG or Sean Murray.

I'm sorry, but you DO have to provide evidence, otherwise I can just say you're a former SS man who killed thousands of people in concentration camps. I mean nothing indicates otherwise.

Well, it's a moderator with Seans' face as avatar. Why wouldn't it be him? If it's not him it'll be some co-worker which doesn't make this topic invalid either.

Right, and I played against Gabe Newell today in TF2. Actually Gabe had 3 accounts on the same server and he wasn't the only famous face.

There were 4 "famous" youtubers, Donald Trump and Doctor Who there too! /s

The funniest part is, they all had 50 ping on European servers, so they must have great internets in the USA.

I changed it, now it doesn't matter who actually wrote it. You guys are looking into micro-issues but fail to adress the macro issue but the words are probably unknown to you. Never mind.

Ok, just look at his posts in the NMS forums. He talks about Sean Murray in third person ("I remember Sean mentioning the reason in a video but I cannot seem to find it anywhere."), he talks about how he first heard about this game ("I first heard of No Man's Sky about a year ago")

Unless you're convinced he made statements like that in the past to purposely hide his identity, it tells me it's not SM. You're free to believe otherwise I guess.

EDIT: just saw your edit, doesn't matter now I suppose.

It does matter who wrote it. Because it's just a regular practice on any forum to try to avoid multiple postings of the same thing over and over again. That's why you see lots of smaller topics about Sean Murray's "lies" being deleted here, while the older ones stay up. If this were written by HG and they were going after everyone you'd have a point, but without that this is a non-issue.

It's still kind of harsh moderation i think. Where i come from nothing gets deleted because people can up and downvote on their own, ya know? Deleting EXPLICITLY such topics smells a bit fishy if you ask me. Normally doubleposting just get burried under upvoted topics on reddit if you know what i mean.

Well it obviously depends on the specific forum it happens in. If you don't have a problem with repeat posts the mods can be more lenient, but if you get the same topics every time you essentially drown other peoples posts that may address something completely different.

Reddit is normally governed by democratic votes. Normally if people upvote doublepost, then so be it.

The announcement makes the impression someone tries to desperately compress the hot topic of the day which well deserves 3 to 5 threads because there are certainly different angles to it.

I think they are trying a little bit too hard, no?

I do not like this move and the sticky post, I agree with you there.

but how did you conclude that mods of subreddits are related to staff/affilioates of a company and that this is the case here?

Every subreddit has mods, needs mods. No company has the right to go to reddit and claim moderator status or powers in one of the subreddits. If there is official staff posting on a subreddit they usually introduce themselves and also get some kinf of "verified" text or flair, but they don't gain mod status.

I mean... its ok to make assumptions, but please also make it clear that its an assumption. You just state that this post was from HG staff or affiliated person, without even saying "I think" or "maybe".

I'd be very surprised if HG wouldn't control their own reddit. That would be downright unprofessional.

And yes, since the forum uses a trademark-name HG has absolutely the rights to have it handed to them and that's why they are almost certainly moderating it.
