Guild Wars 2

So, I just made a thread about strict moderation on the forums, and it seemed to have vanished into thin air, no explanation or anything. I find this really insulting and leads me to believe that moderators on GW2 forums are using their power to never be able to be questioned.

Up until now I’ve posted 4 posts that have been removed by moderators in different topics, all that which would not have been removed in any other forum I’ve been to. I’ve sent in queries to the appropriate e-mail tons of times, but have never received a response.

So what is the deal here, I’d really like a response on why my posts were removed, I don’t feel like posting anything on these forums anymore since it’s all being removed.

The most common reason being “not contributing to the topic” which is a lie.

I hope this gets resolved soon, or I will just stop using the GW2 forums altogether (as if anyone would care either way..)

You don’t post

http://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/rules:

Do not post about locked, deleted, or otherwise moderated threads or posts. Moderation happens for a reason. A staff member or moderator may lock a thread before posting in order to promptly curtail continued comments. If you have yet to see a comment by a staff member on a locked thread, please wait for the comment to appear and do not post a new thread on the subject. If you have questions regarding forum moderation, send an email to forums@arena.net.

I did read that rule, but I’m not posting mainly about my locked posts, but about the issue of strict forum moderation. Besides, doesn’t seem like they want any feedback on improving the forums, the way they post.

Here’s some snippets from the Code of Conduct you might have missed.

Forum moderators have full discretion to address any behavior that they feel is inappropriate. Your membership and participation in these forums is a privilege and not a right. ArenaNet reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to these forums and/or to the game itself at any time for reasons that include, but are not necessarily limited to, your failure to abide by this Code of Conduct.

All forum content is permitted or removed at the discretion of ArenaNet.

too bad that mail doesn’t work.

it’s easy to point people towards the complaint counter when that counter is permanently on lunchbreak.

but hey, it was to be expected, given the state of their forum is still as bad as at launch (and they even like to give you infractions for doubleposts you can’t delete, another proof overall poor moderation).

inb4 it gets deleted, but as you said “they read everything”.

You should drop the period after .net and try using the actual e-mail address. It works fine.

Regardless, I’m not telling you anything. I’m just pointing out the rules that are already in place.
