General Discussion - The forums aren't fun anymore - Forum

That's not true for 1 picture memes. They might be unfunny to you or derail the thread a bit, but at least they contribute 'something'. Yeah, even most of the meme posts are at least intended to express SOME sort of opinion about whatever they were replying to.	Posted by Hodari on Jun 4, 2015, 8:32:37 PM Quote this Post

It started with the "no hateful posts" policy which has been used as a blanket excuse to intrude on debate and silence discussion. The decline continued with the arbitrary moving of threads from general to random unused subforums and then reached a true low with the removal of the popular subforums from the index. These new "guidelines" will probably only lead the PoE forums to be more of a ghost town. It is sad thinking about what these forums once were and what they are now solely due to bore moderation and poor moderation policy. It is your opinion, i accept that. But if you want some anti-boredom: go basejumping. The decline - imho - started, when some started to believe that this forum right here is their playground. And like children, they started to test the boundaries. And that - imho - is so unneeded. The Sirus fight is a disgrace.	Posted by ghamadvar on Jun 4, 2015, 9:54:35 PM Quote this Post

Problem solved. Thread can now be moved to OFF-topic. Spoiler oh common, atleast one person needs to keep the mods busy with tasks like moving threads from one place to the other, berating them on their ruleset and making it so they don´t run out of flesh to probate. It´s called Monoevilismn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcKqhDFhNHI	Posted by Lachdanan on Jun 5, 2015, 7:58:18 AM Quote this Post
I can assure you Bex is trying, its just not an easy task to manage the forum community and keep it civil while at the same time allowing for open discussion I dont see any any key! Last edited by k1rage on Jun 5, 2015, 12:52:55 PM	Posted by k1rage on Jun 5, 2015, 9:51:38 AM Quote this Post

It´s called Monoevilismn. Yeah. If every team needs it's bust, then: yeah. @k1rage: please don't use the word "us". I don't want to be thrown in the same group as others here. Why open discussion contradicts easy management und civil behaviour is beyond me. Debating is what we need. And a debate-culture. Not that "us vs. them" or "fight oppression" bullshit. The Sirus fight is a disgrace.	Posted by ghamadvar on Jun 5, 2015, 10:01:53 AM Quote this Post
Also in favour of removing the entire moderator team. Not adjust the current one but completely remove it with one or two new people whose sole task is to remove illegal content. Nothing else. (My one post before I get banned again.) Vote +1 to change Path of Exile to Path of Nerfs. We hate to say, but ProjectPT was right.	Posted by Hyskoa on Jun 5, 2015, 4:06:40 PM Quote this Post

" Lots of people find sarcasm genuinely offensive. Because unlike irony it is meant to be offensive. But it does not have to be insulting.	Posted by Teplokot on Jun 6, 2015, 6:06:41 AM Quote this Post

GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.	Posted by Xavderion on Jun 6, 2015, 6:24:11 AM Quote this Post
