    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

    I posted multiple lists of suggestions I was sending up to the main team, based on feedback from everyone. I'm not sure what you mean, as I was doing a lot of work all weekend to keep the General Forums open, and offer alternatives, and make note of what the community wanted.

    The CM team was working together to bring these suggestions and resolutions up in order to keep the General Forums open, but note, your antagonistic behavior here is odd to me, as I have never wanted to close this post. I have gently warned folks that if it does get out of hand, we would need to, unfortunately, and everyone understood that as my saying "stay civil" and did a great job! If I deleted posts, it was mostly because they were out of pocket, overly antagonistic, or attacking another user.

    Do keep in mind, I issued only 3 warnings and only 1 ban due to someone harassing folks and threatening folks. Even unintentional malice and anger directed at me didn't get bans; I stayed extremely lenient and understood that 90% of what was said from last week until today was frustration and feeling like folks were not being heard and their voices were taken from them.

    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.

    Let me try putting it bluntly:
    The "US" in my comment is the Community Team, who was bringing forward the suggestions and making as much noise as possible on behalf of the community. I hate to say it, but Gen probably would have been shut down otherwise if I and the other CMs hadn't had conversations about this all day today.
    I didn't go on a tangent; you stated I wanted this thread shut down, and I provided facts and data.

    Let me go watch.
    Edit: I watched and this was a really good take, thank you for making this.

    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.

    To be clear about my previous post: I am happy for the community. I am happy we aren't shutting down Gen. The Community was listened to. The CM Team had decided to reduce the forums earlier. I was shocked to see Gen being shut down, as I thought we were only removing Off Topic and merging some areas.
    However, I am an external hire and work during later hours than the other CMs. That means I send it up to the rest of the CM team and usually have a day delay with stuff like this, if not longer, before anyone can make changes or reach out. We don't hide this fact.

    dtg say they’re removing GD: :mad:
    dtg say they’re keeping GD: :mad:
    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.
