General Discussion Is Gone

Gonna go buy some DLC to celebrate.

 

Woke up this morning to this fantastic news. I'm very glad DTG listened to the feedback and common sense prevailed.
The focus should be always on stricter enforcement of the forum rules and improvements made to its moderation over time. None of us want to be in this position again with a few bad eggs ruining it for everyone

 

Thumbs up for this decision DTG

 

Once again you've gone off on a tangent.
To me, ‘so glad folks listened to us’ implied that you were part of the community that disagreed with DTG’s initial decision but nothing in any of your posts came across to me that you in any way agreed with the Community regarding keeping the thread open at all.
Also, not sure why you are talking about how many warnings & bans you issued. I never raised or questioned that at all.

 

Tossed a tenner at Berninalinie to celebrate as it's one of the quality "odd duck" routes that I didn't yet own (and the Steam sale price was good). Good stuff, and it runs well. Just waiting on a good sale for Liberec now.

 

My interpretation is that as a moderator, candacedtg's position is neutral in everything but she has been on our side for keeping the forums by listening and passing back our comments and feedback as she has said she'd done a few times.

(Even though she's an AI bo... Nope, not going to say it!)

Regardless, the forums are here to stay, at least for a bit longer so let's all put past comments, indifferences or whatever aside and see what the future holds.

 

not even a minute ago haha, you're quick!!! haha

 

Thank you for listening, DTG. This is great news.

 

See, this comes across as exactly the kind of needless drivel that nearly got the GD shut down. Let it go and get off the lass' back for goodness sake.

So far as I can see Candace has been nothing but fair in this thread - or indeed any other I've seen her post in.

 

Just yesterday:

 

This is excellent news and I'm glad it's being retained.

 

dtg say they’re removing GD:
dtg say they’re keeping GD:
whether or not you agree with the community managers is irrelevant, if candace had not been as active as she was in this thread then i’m fairly sure the sub forum would be gone this time tomorrow.

 

So it looks like everything will pretty much go back to the way it was antebellum. Storm in a teacup? An overload of corporate speak? And I'm happy for those people who seem to need an outlet every five minutes to talk about nothing important or to simply bark at each other.

Well, my enthusiasm for the game and the forum is unlikely to return. An occasional dlc sale purchase is in my future and I'll post only if something really moves me. Frankly I've moved on from TSW and the nonsense over the weekend is just a rubber stamp.

( Can't for the life of me understand why the Off Topic section has to go. Mostly innocent and sometimes very interesting. Oh well! )

 

Thanks everyone on the community team for extending the life of this subforum. It has been an essential news source for me.
I also support the more restrictive rules going forward. TSW is a great pastime for me and the forums are where I get the most out of it. And feedback, both positive and negative, is critical to help me make decisions or troubleshoot issues or configure for improvements. But the sniping and fighting and name calling was bringing me down. This gives me hope the forums will return to their original level of quality.

 

I see some still can’t read the room … normally, I would just ignore the comments, but seeing how close we came to losing the community I feel the community must do more to police ourselves. I know I will get comments, who made you moderator, no one, but I want to protect what I see as a valuable resource.

What is the purpose of this comment? , I can’t think of any valid reason except to cause discord in the forum. I see four other members have all ready commented and pretty much see as I do. And if you have followed this thread, it is pretty obvious that Candace was working to provide the other CMs with feedback with plenty of evidence as to her feelings toward the proposed removal, all the while toying the line her employment. Her efforts probably had more to do with the reversal of this decision than anything else, while such missives as “you are not part of us” do nothing to make DTG feel good about the reversal.
