Mariout Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Oh, this is where this thread was hiding. I kept looking in GD expecting to see something about it. This was the last place I expected it to be. So why has OT been locked for a week? I don't understand why they can't just make any changes while leaving it open, like they've done every single time in the past. Did anything happen in particular that made them shut it down and hide everything? I just want to post about Hearthstone ;_; please gib OT back Goldeneyes, KingofChess and Orangeslash 3 Link to comment
Heimann Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 So why has OT been locked for a week? Daft locked a thread on a bad call. Community got upset & he stepped down as mod. Darkshade took OT hostage. 0 Progress has been made. Also, what posts got deleted ? Munya was pageking here. KingofChess 1 Link to comment

It's starting to feel more like an attempt at punishment than an actual genuine effort to change/improve things Heimann, Senile, Orangeslash and 8 others 11 Link to comment

Munya Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I can't for the life of me see the relevance of this post you said they were punishing ot, that is in fact not true, if they wanted to there were much better options. Surely it doesn't make ot users happy but its not being done as a punishment or out of spite. KingofChess 1 Link to comment

HerpDerpBox Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) When I first saw this thread I thought there was a finally a chance to actually communicate with the staff for once. But some people from both sides are hating for no reason. And it's sad. There should be no reason that mods immediately ignore/hate any post just because "Oh its OT, they are stupid shitposters". And there is no reason some OT members shouldn't listen to mods just because "Oh they are vampire mods, whatever they are saying is shit." That is not the makings of a conversation. It's extremely childish. Thats my input. I'm just gunna lurk until OT is back up, because obviously this is isn't a suggestion forum. Its devolved into repetition and unnecessary hate from both sides. Edited June 30, 2015 by HerpDerpBox KingofChess, Orangeslash, Misfire33 and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Rigamorty Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 We will make sure plans are communicated to posters. has this happened at all yet? all i've seen from staff in here so far are shit posts from munya, darkshade picking out a couple points to shit on, and noad trying to keep some kind of peace. this thread isn't supposed to be some argument. it is to be suggestions. I haven't seen a single staff post something like "okay good idea we'll work with that" stop focusing on the negative points, we need to see some kind of progress, don't just post strictly to shoot things down. what progress are we making so far? is their any kind of idea in the head of whoever it may be that is going to be making the changes to off-topic? I don't think there's anything more than can be said here that hasn't already been said. you can only have so many ideas on a way somewhere is moderated. the community have give there ideas, now staff needs to tell us what they've taken from them so far, in a way that isn't simply "see this is what we don't want" like yeah we get it fuck off, now tell us what WILL work in your eyes.

Munya Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Not all of my posts were "shitposts" and the one that is being called such mainly, was more a give them some time, they haven't forgotten you.

Its only been a week and they even gave you temporary places to post until it is back in what was arguably offtopics most popular topic laidback zone sort of way. Trying to say 1 single thread is good enough to contain the entirety of a subforum? I'll chalk this one up as a shitpost too. It MIGHT have been okay if it were like a few hours. A few hours of a whole subforum in one thread seems okay. But 6+ days? This is just getting stupid. Edited June 30, 2015 by Rigamorty Link to comment

Kelarr Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 What is being accomplished A day or so back Off Topic went from 847 threads, to 846 overnight. We've come to the conclusion, that with Daft stepping down, his sticky was canned. Gunthug and KingofChess 2 Link to comment
