Great job Moderators

TDK1044 · 01-29-10, 07:34 AM

Great job by the Moderators over the last few days. This place exploded over the DRM issue, and the Moderators played it perfectly. Let people vent their frustration in an appropriate way at Ubisoft because of the DRM decision, but step on any threads suggesting cracks or piracy.

This was a text book exercise in how to ride a wave of discontent, and it reiterates why subsim is truly one of the best Forums out there.

Great job, Guys.

It means that TDK1044 is kissing ass!

No it simply means "I agree"

Yeah, invisible moderators are the best moderators. (It sure helps that 89% of Subsims user base have brains)

I'd rather kiss moderators' arses than accept DRM or OSP

If you want a good contrast, visit the official Total War forums.

If you post something critical of the abortionate mess ETW vanilla is, the post vanishes. Do it again you get banned. The only review that addressed all the issues and rightly panned the game was banned from the site, and any attempt to refer to it was purged. All the 95%+ "this is the greatest game ever to see the light of day" reviews ~ which also spoke volumes as to the professionalism of most game reviewers ~ were plastered all over the place.

Talk about a totally terrible environment.

The irony is the TotalWar Center site, where all the serious modders etc live, simply became more and more critical.

The moderators here are good. I think in 9 years I've disagreed with them once, and even then it's civilised.

The fact that this community is self-regulating to some degree helps a great deal, too.

By the power vested in me, I hereby award you the Oder of the Brown Nose.

Nah, but seriously, in a forum that has been describes as "smelling of
gasoline" recently, the mods are playing it perfectly.

...but then we have all come to expect such of these honorable men,
these giants of the community. We are but humble specks in their
awe-inspiring presence. The magnitude of their glory is boundless.
Even the countless stars affixed in the firmament of heaven await the
holy word of the moderators in reverent silence.
