I mean that would be acceptable, if it wasnt a reply to a post that pretty much asked for it, which didnt get deleted, as i have seen on the forums its someone she likes the posts of
But its ok right to delete the ones who go against something someone else said
Especially when said moderator likes quite a few of thier posts, and several posts they jump on someone over nothing, but those are still there. Im seeing a bias here
You can block that content via parental control so your point is moot. Know the lore before buying stuff. Those things are what makes Conan Conan. Thereās plenty other games out there if you donāt like it.
That depends on whether you consider the forumās social guidelines to be rules or not. Thereās a link to them in the forum introduction post which is pinned on top of the forums. The guidelines mention politics explicitly:
Considering that the mods probably have these guidelines in mind when they moderate the forums, itās pretty much what I would call a āruleā, but theyāre not called rules, and I know there are some other people here who care about that more than they care about whether they should do something or not
I really try hard to avoid politics myself, but I have a bad habit of my own: I have an extremely hard time convincing myself to shut up and walk away
Thatās how I sometimes end up entering a political discussion despite saying that Iāll avoid it, or adding off-topic posts despite saying that we really should try to stay on topic.
There are already mods that remove gore and dismemberment, as others have pointed out.
I have since added some more features to the mod. It now prevents harvesting human flesh/body parts, so it does prevent cannibalism.
So no, Iām not pro-cannibalism.
Itās a real shame that the āfree thralls from cagesā Siptah mechanic canāt be accessed in the devkit. If it could be, a mod could put cages in various NPC camps around the Exiled Lands, which would a great alternative to slavery.
Kinda shows what i was saying, but if forums get one sided it just shows its not really much of a forum, a place for discussions⦠these will likely be removed by tomorrow as though theyre the only posts off topic and or w.e rule gets enforced here
EDIT: i want really aware of any no politics policy, i was just backing up a fellow poster and replying to someone else
Not too bothered, In my opinion thou in this case the matter was already settled and there was no need for any sort of moderation. Both me and @CodeMage simultaneously pointed out that politics shouldnāt be brought up and @Baen was very receptive to that immediately and was happy to change the subject. So I see this as a bit āoverly eagerā from a moderation standpoint, but again not bothered, itās all good
The point that it got removed wasnt my issue, its the point that they got deleted without my notification, and also that only select posts of the sort got removed, and also not by people the moderator frequently likes to like posts of, just something i noticed, but annoying nonetheless, if i got banned from forums tomorrow i wouldnt care, most seem set in thier ways with the holier than thou attitude(even when wrong)⦠i joined the forums for discussions n such but at this point its like cliques in school trying to debate. And i dont mean this as insult, just an observation (quite a few people i respect here, others are frequently flipping position seemingly just to argue, and others think they know more than they know, its oddest forum ive ever been on)
Causes Rules Suck. They set a standard that can not be reach by everyone.
Actually⦠from my 20+ years as a Forum Admin-Mod.
Rules cause just as much issue as people who break them, cause people like to call out rules.
There a Line, do not cross it. People do⦠not all get punished. Some people can not let that go.
They will spend rest of there days bringing it up.
Discernsion (spell check canāt figure out what word Iām trying to typeā¦) of Moderator works well.
Guides Lines,
I think bigger issue in Moderation (specially when I taught people) You can not assume everyone is master at rules laid out before them. Or visit So Many Forums and Blogs⦠your never gonna remember them all. (I get busted for Swearing all time⦠cause several of Main Forums i go to, Allow it. )
People come from different sections of world. And how they should/can/want to Act, can be totally different.
Its up to Mods, to pull posts clearly meant to pull a conversation away. And leave those that are, just banter,
Its a Forum⦠meant for Discussion. People will talk how they talk. cough type.
But⦠A Mod/Admin can make a topic, About āHorses in Conan Exilesā and State Clearly what thread is for. And that all non- Horse talk will be purge.
1st person mention Choco Cookies, has Zero Right to be mad there post was cleaned.
As for Post Poned Twitch Stream link threadā¦
Not sure of @CodeMage linked that as example⦠of something? It late⦠not all lights are on.
That post is on topic, but with banter. Actually⦠I even call it out, its not Age of Sorc questions outright.
Its really only one I had on hand. If they DO NOT answer or even bring it up. I WONT be hurt.
Being off-topic is ok⦠to me. Long as your not trying to start conversation inside another conversation.
Again⦠thats me. Been doing this for way to long.
I type stuff out, and rarely hit (Reply) I delete almost 4-5 of my post on these Forums. Maybe 1 or 2 make it.
Not even off topic stuff, I can not get English to come out right, Grammar is off, Spell Check canāt figure out the words Iām spelling. I proof read it, and question what hell I was even going on about. XD
Click cancel and disregard and go on with my life. Only for hour later to recheck the thread and be
DOH!
I will point out, I wish we had this feature on Capcom Forums (closed and gone now). Seening it in action on other forums, and realize a person can post⦠and no one reads it but mods. And they never know.
Is such a great thing.
Thou⦠once you know feature is there. And then wounder if you have ever been silenced⦠or it was a slow Forum day.
Nothing sabotages a healthy conversation like rudeness:
Be civil. Donāt post anything that a reasonable person would consider offensive, abusive, or hate speech. This includes usernames.
Keep it focused. Please donāt post about real-world politics, religion, and other topics prone to huge arguments.
Keep it clean. Donāt post anything obscene or sexually explicit.
Respect each other. Donāt harass or grief anyone, impersonate people, or expose their private information. This also includes usernames.
Respect our forum. Donāt post spam or otherwise vandalize the forum.
These are not concrete terms with precise definitions ā avoid even the appearance of any of these things. If youāre unsure, ask yourself how you would feel if your post was featured on the front page of the New York Times.
This is a public forum, and search engines index these discussions. Keep the language, links, and images safe for family and friends.
First of all, emotes that directly interact with pets/thralls/other players would be nice.
Pet the hyena, claps arms with oneās bodyguard. These arenāt childish, they are merely immersive. This one whole heartedly supports these for the base game.
So, revisiting this idea of a gore sliderā¦
This could go both ways.
No Gore
Minimal Gore (only dismemberment on heavy finisher attacks)
Moderate Gore (as is)
More Gore (dismemberment on any kill, even DoTs and dehydration)
Maximum Carnage (lawsuit pending) (all bodies explode apart with the velocity of launched rhinos in previous patches and all appendages that can detach do detach, with a crimson tinting covering the screen for anyone nearby)
Another option, but probably not feasible, corpse permanence/instant fade. This one has fond memories of Golden Axe, especially that the bodies of fallen foes remain on the screen, even if browned out. Removing the decay on bodies would be a mess for server load, but definitely add a more gruesome touch. Conversely, having an extremely rapid decay timer would help prevent those unaccustomed to such things from happening upon such a scene. If one wanted a sanitized version, no humanoid corpses at all. Just immediate loot bag. This does make harvesting from corpses impossible, but if the purpose is to make it family friendly⦠Well, probably that is a good thing.
I didnāt. I linked to an off-topic post of my own. But that post got deleted by a moderator ā along with several others ā so now my link points to your post, because forum links arenāt permalinks.
Also, sorry it took me so long to clarify that, but I got silenced for 24h for the post I linked to
My kids are grown, but they grew up playing video games with me, all types. It was a bond that continues.
This demand to water down life to appease the deliberately offended is something I will never understand.
I found GTA to be a terrible game, my son still played it because he bought it with his own damn cash and now works for an educational non-profit, never once having boosted a car.
