Guild Wars 2

Hey there, I’ve been trying to remain on the up and up on the forums moreso than I did to the MMO I migrated from. I see a lot of the same kinds of people on this forum; the whiners, the elitists, the just-plain-confused, etc.

One small gripe I have is moderators completely shutting down a thread for little to no reason. I can understand shutting down OLD threads or threads that might have took a turn for the worse and turned into a flame war, or even repeat threads but I made a thread asking a question (not utilizing the Q/A feature, just asking a question) and from that question began a lighthearted conversation. The conversation did not last long, as a moderator came in and said “Mystery solved, shutting down this thread!”

Wow! THANKS! I wasn’t done talking, but thanks! Keep up the hard work!

The creators of this game claim to be attempting to foster a friendly atmosphere for players and for the most part they have been absolutely successful; people in-game are friendly and helpful, as this is critical to success in most instances, but I mean.. really?

What exactly is the criteria for shutting down threads? Is it random? Is it at the mods discretion?

Apologies. I mean “Community Coordinators” and not moderators.

Don’t bother asking for forum improvements. The moderators/admins are too busy picking their noses and handing out infractions to actually do anything useful.
