Posting a promotion screenshot gets you timed out on the discord?

[Synka]

Why arent we allowed to share those?

What is this discord amongst the employees

Public discords are always either a cool place to talk about stuff, chill and hang out; or the most miserable place where even more miserable moderators take their daddy issues on everyone and ruin the fun. No in-between.

To be fair, that argument could be extended to any public forum with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ moderators. THANK GOD WE HAVE A GOOD MOD ON THE STEAM FORUMS, PLEASE DWARFURIOUS DON'T BAN ME I SWEAR YOU'RE ONE OF THE COOL MODS!

Sigh, so just turning into another "Discord is trash" thread eh. First off we don't have all the info, I'm not even sure Synka is the one who posted the image, since another poster mentioned it in the gallery channel same time this thread was posted, was given a responce that it was in the wrong channel (modded vs unmodded), and was merely given a warning about reading the rules / making sure to post in the correct channel, not a "time out".

To me it just seems like Synka wants to start ♥♥♥♥ as usual.

Ya'll already forgotten the "I did nothing" vegan guy? oh yeah, it's them bad mods...

happend to me, Jacob unbanned me last year after I was banned for 5! years with no reasons given, he actually said "I have no idea why you are banned"

timeout is over by now, the screenshot was just the promotion screen

Yet those are the exceptions, not the rule. Vast majority of of the time we end up getting the reason after a bit of back and forth.

But just to be clear, did it have modded content and should've therefore been posted in modded-gallery?

What would you even mod on the promotion screen?

I got simplified class icons ig, but why would anyone consider that modded? the class icons are part of the base game

'Modified' is the base word 'modded' is centered on.

Its not someone's consideration, its a fact.

So mystery solved, called it in post #5. Just another user unable to follow rules... certified Discord moment indeed.

I can't speak for everyone but what I meant by that, is that the Discord has way too many rules, and they are over stringent and heavy handed about enforcing them; not that no rule was broken.

I was muted once for responding to someone who asked if GTFO and DRG were similar, it was a brief one paragraph description in the general discussion area, answering his question with a summary of some things the two games had in common and a few things they didn't. I was muted for "off topic discussion." (The guy who asked the question oddly enough, was not muted; despite him ostensibly breaking the same rule.)

Was I technically off the topic of DRG? I guess so? That's an extremely rigid and over zealous interpretation of the rule though. It was a general discussion area, which is a broad term, and GTFO is in the same genre as DRG; and we were discussing how the two related to each other; which is itself discussing DRG.

So for future reference, when I say "Certified Discord moment" I mean, the guy prolly did technically break some small rule, if you squint really hard; and interpret the rule in the most stringent way possible lol.

That said, they are essentially a private club, and well within their rights to enforce their rules any way they see fit, if someone doesn't like how they run things they should just avoid going there; which is what I do.
