I'm sure there are a few on here that don't go into the shitbox, or perhaps just missed it the instances it has been brought up on there. To sum it up briefly, on the 4th the Mods suddenly decided that my signature I've had for a good what, two years or more I think at least for the quote that is Ruthless', maybe longer on the first quote. Was all of a sudden inappropriate and they saw fit to remove it. Likewise, I saw fit to keep putting it back. You can see most of the tirade for now here. I'll link what I expect to be my final 'post' at the end cause I imagine that's why a few are gonna read it. While showing how humorous it is is one thing, the other is to leave this as a possible 'finale' if you will should I get perma'd on the Forums because of this. If that doesn't happen then dandy, we can just stay as is and leave this as simply another thread of WG being WG. But if not then this will serve as an 'end' to my AMA thread over on the Forums. So in the event I do get greyed out and I'll make that apparent here like in the shitbox, if someone could copy/paste this into the thread that'd be swell. "If someone has taken the liberty of posting this, then it means I am no longer capable of viewing these forums, I shan't go into the whole reasons why because I'm not of the opinion that shooting the messenger would be fun for me or for them. I do not view the whole 'Goodbye Forums' nonsense highly, I see them as glorified malarkey in the hope that someone there will miss you when you are gone for exactly a week before you come running back either on the same account or probably with an alt. Holding the opinion that were I to decide I was done with the Forums I would just leave without warning. But if this has been posted it means I didn't get to make the decision of when I was gonna leave, someone else did it for me. The AMA fluctuates a fair bit with activity, sometimes it is multiple questions or just friendly banter and maybe it goes weeks before someone asks. So I could not say how long or even if someone would come asking questions and they'd only get an answer on the Forums if someone else were to take up the mantle. For those still wanting to ask me personally the questions. The only two reliable methods I would say you'd have is asking me on The Bunker, or on Discord if that's possible to easily find me from searching my name and messaging me on there, I couldn't say how viable it is I've never searched for someone before. Xbox Messages are a thing but since the Xbox Messaging System is absolutely abysmal and limited to 500 Characters I couldn't say it would be worth the pain. I hear there is a WoT Reddit thing but I'm not entirely sure how they're like nor have I ever used a Reddit thingimabob before. So for those willing to go out of their way to still get an answer from me, there ya go. For those not, if nobody takes up the mantle you can just presume the thread as well, dead. And no, I'm sure I could name quite a few who'd think everyone on The Bunker has like three alts, or maybe just that I have one but I possess no such thing nor do I want to." That's my piece done, maybe it will be completely pointless, maybe it wont who could say but it pays to be prepared at the least. For those interested in what I currently expect to be my final response until we see where it goes. It ain't great, you'll have to get it in an alt tab likely to read through it but that's just how long a polite fuck you it was.

They're all from Chicagistan what'd you expect? You don't gobble their little 5 guy on a daily basis and you actually contribute and help people on the forum. Why would they ever give you any slack?

I didn't see this when you originally posted it, but dear lord that last message is one hell of a slap in the face. Unfortunately us here are the only ones who will actually read it, considering we all know WG's track record when it comes to posts longer than 2 sentences. Either way, welcome to the club I guess, though you were already a technical member.

Resurrected my bunker account for this.
But wtf?
After 2 years someone got triggered by your signature and reported you and that's enough for WG mods......

All it takes anymore is one or two people to send a PM to WG staff or hit the report button to rack up the strikes...I had over 4200 posts before I ever got a warning and a certain salty WG sycophant reported me multiple times for calling him out/pointing out his stupidity and I was down to my last strike. Max delivered the coup de gras for a simple response to another forumer telling him not to expect an answer from Max on the Bogatyr thread...boom...perma-ban.

Negative sentiment? Well then, by rights that entire forum is screwed. People complain, people then complain about people complaining, then people point that out and complain about them. Negative sentiment being enough of a reason to perma ban means WG should be banning damn near everyone.

So, i found the Corp. Derpy thread on the official forum, and decided that I too would probably need to have an alternative handy for when the ban-hammer inevitably and inexplicably is going to hit some day. Besides, it would seem that all of the most engaged and knowledgable forumers end up here anyway, so here I am...!
Anyway, I recently made a post about the earning points for the Absolution Op after completing, and made a comment which apparently rustled someones jimmies. I wrote: "So the Keep earning points was a lie liberal lenient approach to the concept of truth?"
I very quickly got a message warning me that I had either made an unconstructive, politcally charged, or offending post. I tried messaging WG, not to complain, but to ask what exactly my mistake was, as there sure wasn't any political content in my comment (unless of course some WG numbskull was unable to realise that the word "liberal" has a much older, and non-political meaning than it has for Yanks today).
All I got was basically the same message containing a copy of paragraph number whatever-the-feck. In other words no clear answer. I'm thinking this blind-eyed forum moderation is starting to get out of hand, and that a change of pastures is probably in order.

And may I say, the last answer to the mods was absolutely perfect. I've recently just fininshed reading 1984, and the dystopian, totalitarian approach by WG is uncanningly close to parts of the book...

That wouldn't be a certain user with the word "Soviet" in his GT, now would it?

Welcome! 😁
I honestly believe they don't train their forum staff. Which is a pity because it's their actions or inactions that push people away from the community every time. Forum mods and admin should be like Gardners. Helping to nurture the community, to be healthy and strong.

Welcome to the forum Hinsir, thanks for joining. Thanks! I'm sure I'll be spending more time here in the future. Is there anything I should be wary of when posting?

Welcome to the forum Hinsir, thanks for joining. Thanks! I'm sure I'll be spending more time here in the future. Is there anything I should be wary of when posting? Nah not really, the rules here just to follow basic decency. Heated debates, swearing, posting emoji's/meme's etc are all fine. Just avoid drugs, pics or threats of violence, adult content etc or personal attacks on other members. If any rules do get broken we don't send people straight to the gulag and often sort it just via a pm as everyone has a bad day here and there. It's very rare that we end up having to do more than edit a post and ask the person to refrain from posting similar things. Turns out people don't mind dealing with a bit of moderation when it is done with open communication. Except RPG. He gets the Gulag.

Perfect! I can do common decency, I think (even though WG seems to disagree).

Granted I saw trolling the op of the thread but It was a bit silly. It was that guy who wanted WG to ban platoons.

Only got banned for a meme once. The meme was risky tbf and i expected a ban when i posted it ( it was a funny meme though) . However i got my ban 8 months after i posted said meme and the thread hadn't been nerco'd. Means someone was searching for ban material.

It's a bit freewheeling at times with some lively debate. However, all of us respect differing opinions and treat people like people.
