Yes, and my point is it was called out. Forever ago. Indeed, probably longer still. There comes a point where it’s borderline unhinged. Migrating to TL solely to bitch about a game that’s been DoA for months and argue with Spartak is ridiculous. There’s nothing new under the sun here, there’s no new info like all of the stuff mentioned in the past few pages has been discussed thoroughly in this thread. Which people would know was the case if they’d actually been active TL participants for any amount of time. | ||

Unless reddit changed things recently, you can still see comments/posts removed by a moderator by going through the post history of the user. And if we ever removed any of your posts/comments, you will get a DM with the explanation of why it was removed and a link to the post that was removed. So, as an active member of the subreddit, which of your posts/comments got removed for being critical of the game? That should be easy to get an example of since you are adamant that we are regularly removing negative comments and you have obviously been nothing but negative about the game for a long time. Well, the only post of mine that ever got removed was the most recent Tim Morten LinkedIn post, and the linked reasoning was just a copy/paste of the sub's rules, which didn't explain anything. But you did later explain in the thread of the next, similar post that it was because of "bad faith paraphrasing" in the title, which didn't even make any sense. Like, newspapers and websites paraphrase things in titles all the time. It's kind of the fun part of writing articles, which is why editors usually steal that part of the job.  But in any case, it's not that important. The change in our attitude towards moderation is also fictional. If anything, I have been slightly less lenient on some repeat offenders recently. Moderation was even more lax in the past. The subreddit always had plenty of negative posts and comments. It is just that recently 99% of comments are negative, instead of it swinging between 30-70% negative as in the past. The change is due to what happened with the game, not because we used to remove negative stuff and for some reason we stopped doing so in the last year. Well, look, you might be right about this. I haven't combed the history of the sub exhaustively to be able to prove it one way or another, and it makes sense that there would be many more negative posts after the game's spectacular failure (and, I'll point out one last time, the spectacularly bad faith actions of Frost Giant's management, particularly Tim Morten) Perhaps we are all just beating a dead horse here. Except for the fact that the horse itself stubbornly refuses to completely die, which is just confusing for everybody involved. | ||

Even when it does happen and the game is great you get that one in a million Avilo type person who will do crazy things. if you want to avoid this possibility do not promote video games as some great life experience to 100s of millions of people. these companies are right there to collect the profit.. they also have to be there to accept the blow back from unhinged thrill seekers who were told their thrill seeking aspirations would be fulfilled by your entertainment product you charge $$$ for. Frost Giant and its agents made all kinds of lofty promises knowing full well Morten already fucked C&C into the ground 10 years earlier. | ||

Anything I've read from Spartak here seemed AT WORST like something from a normal dude and not a normal dude acting as a moderator. Do you have any evidence that Spartak singlehandedly alienated an entire fanbase BEFORE that fanbase turned to realizing Stormgate was never gonna get there? From my perspective, y'all just lumped Spartak on to the other side of the fence and then said "See? OBVIOUSLY he's evil, he's on the other side of the fence!" | ||

People were sick of him before the devs released 0.6 as their 1.0. That's why he is openly mocked on other platforms. If it was just about the game being bad people would just blame FGS and Tim "The Charlatan" Morten. | ||
