Thread: Closing Threads

  1. #61

    The Irony of this thread is that all but 4-5 of the posts were spam and had nothing to do with the thread, and therefore this thead could have been closed awhile back (imo).

    With that being said the whole point of this thread was to inform those with the "power" to close threads that they're being a little trigger happy with the closing of threads, but to do so without pointing the blame at anyone in particular. Hope the right eyes read it.

    See this is an excellent example of "opinion". What is spam? What is off topic? Where is the great rule in the sky that says a topic will never evolve? Who's "opinion" is it that a topic has gone on long enough? There have been several threads closed I found interesting and would have loved an opportunity to respond to (in a thoughtful way).

    There have been threads that had a measure of "fun" and joking that could have been interpreted as drivel, but were community building.

    My "opinion"? I wish the mods the best but please remember there are older, well educated, professional business people that play this game and read the forums (why is another topic lol).

    Free advice? Be humble no matter how hard it is, there is always gonna be someone out there that knows more than you do no matter how much you think you know. Been there got lots of t-shirts

    Very well said, Amikee.

    To be honest, the reason I post so little on the forum now is because of this moderation style. I've read the rules, yet I see so many threads closed because an authority figure felt they had run their due course while it actually seems to us that they simply didn't want the topic discussed anymore. (e.g., don't dare mention bots or your opinion about bots or those who use them because the powers have decided that there have been enough opinions stated and anyone stating further opinions will be in violation of the forum "rules".)

    From what I've seen happen to others and to any threads mentioning any one of a number of sensitive issues that actually affect peoples' perception of their own gameplay, at best the thread will be closed because it's "already been discussed" or because discussing such things is somehow "in violation". At worst, the poster will get a line through their name.

    So, as I've learned over the last 7 1/2 months, it's just best to keep your head down, keep your opinions to yourself and don't bother posting much at all.

    Normally a closed thread is only because it turned into a flame war, went completely off track and half the messages are unrelated to the topic it started with, or as Kingale said we have multiples of the same thread. Normally with multiples I merge the threads though, sorry to anyone if that messes them up!

    If you see a thread "closed" because it's old or for a reason that doesn't makes sense - message the mod who closed it and ask that it be re-opened (politely stating your case of course lol).
    well all i can say as the host of a server 20 alliance and war alliance leader i find the staff and mods for evony annoying in the least. we were just gifted with a moderator who for all intents is a PAIN to us that have been without one from server launch.We have had a great and active forums especially diplo ones but now we have this person who has no CLUE what or how we roll on our server offering there options on our discussions. Then we have a evony staff member laughing at us listing players using bots so all i can figure is that you guys 1 do not care and lie . oh he deleted his post after i burned him on his comment. We DO NOT need you closing our threads that are active sorry if we say we do not want need or like our mod nor do any of us wish her option as shown in the thread about that. So the hosts of the top alliances on the server are looking for someone to host our own server where we we post our business and just not read answer or pay you all attention.Seeing how you are not answering mail and do not wish us to keep this medium open.And seeing ow i am the host of the most active war alliance there if the players there want to know what is going on and the other top 4 alliances have all agreed we do not want YOUR BS anymore. SAVE THE LIES AND POST CHANGING

    It's entirely your choice what you want to do with your discussions, and a lot of people have created their own forums for various reasons including the one in your post.

    Instead of telling me what the issue was, you PM'd me "I'm PMing you" with no information on your issues. You then have yet to reply to my reply requesting more information on what you need. Other moderators or admin can't help you if you don't talk to us.
