Guild Wars 2

I belong to many, many forums, and i understand the need to moderate forums, really i do, but i have to say the over moderation on these forums is appalling.

My very first post was to tell a guy who ranted about his dislike of the game that his thread would most likely get deleted, i was given an infraction for being off-topic…and the thread deleted.
Then a guy had a legitimate question about how to pay for the game without a credit card…there were 5 very helpful replies, no flaming, no one off-topic…the thread was locked.
Now i see many other threads with players questions or concerns are being deleted or locked….most of us here are adults and we do not need to be babysat or treated like children…forums are for discussions, even if some of them are mildly ranting…it should all be useful, free feedback for developers.

I would suggest you get someone who has experience moderating gaming forums and teach the current mods to ease up a bit….we need moderators, not forum police…thanks.

I agree, they (the mods) should cool down a little.
Sometimes its quite annoying.
Though its quite good that anet really does watch the forums!

I totally agree with you. Unfortunately this thread will be deleted and we will all probably be infracted.

Agreed, I’ve gotten lots of infractions. Some deserved, I admit, others I find just strange. Like getting an infraction for agreeing with a suggestion, in the suggestion forums. Another for commenting on the Mad Kings Clock Tower, in a topic about it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for rule enforcement. I report ANYTHING I see in-game that breaks the rules of the game, anything at all, because I care about the game and don’t want the community to end up like the one in WoW, but some of the moderation on this forum is just bizarre.

well, be happy you didn’t get randomly suspended for “accumulation of infractions” without ever having received an infraction, like i did >.>
