Mods closing topics for no reason

[Shocker_33 4]

I disagree with how the mods close down topics for no reason.

 

This is a forum! A forum is a public space to share ideas and thoughts about a particular interest. Closing down the topics the way you do is destroying this forum. This is by far the worst forum i ever visit, why? One reason is that the mods close the majority of topics too fast for no reason.

Made a complaint on the feedback website too.

There are reasons. Many topics are ones that are repetitive. Why have 2 of the same thing when we can concentrate on 1, and improve on that one? Why keep useless topics when you can show hip and more popular threads?

Why keep useless topics when you can show hip and more popular threads?

This is a matter of opinion. What you think is 'hip' and 'popular' might not be by my standards. - Do you use other forums? Have you ever seen the other forums moderate their sites like this? I haven't seen a single forum operate in this manner apart from this one.

Remember that this is a forum and not a contest for the most interesting looking website.

 

You will find that topics for things like this are repetitive. It's not like new products are being released all of the time for people to discuss the latest product. How close of a match one topic is to another is very subjective and again is a matter of opinion unless the topic is copied and pasted by the same person.

 

So there are a couple of categories - Clans and Teams. Why can no one create a topic in there without it being closed immediately? Remember it is still part of the forum and therefore should be treated exactly the same. Why have these categories if no one can discuss anything in them? It really is completely pointless.

 

I like how Loktinho's post has been edited by MizARee. Is this censorship i see going on here?

Oh yeah, now i remember why i haven't been on this forum for a while. I stopped visiting the forum because of the massive censorship against anyone speaking negative about Update 123. Absolutely shocking!

 

EDIT: Word correction.

They close down topics so it doesn't spam the forum. You must realize that they are just trying to keep the forum from having repeats of the same topic over and over. If you cannot find the topic, then create a new one, but other than that the search bar is there for a reason-

I don't blame them for just trying to keep the forum free from spam, they are like the garbage man of this forum, just trying to keep it clean from the unnecessary things people put up.

It's good that this is done but it's done far far too aggressively. They also close down so many topics that shouldn't.

 

 

EDIT: They close down genuine and normal Tanki topics to stop spam? Do you know what spam actually is?

NO, we are lucky that @FederalBureauFBI is not a MOD.

[SpreadLoveNotHate 374]

Since it is moved to Off Topic Discussion...

There's been tons of threads made about this already. Avoid flooding.

[jonathanjoseph 71]

oh good, it's in another section.

Leave the FBI alone, they're doing their job! (he's doing his job) He's the second-best Consultant, and he would be a GREAT mod, but he likes having the job of Consulting better.

Why is loktinho's post edited by MizARee?

Probably be because what MizARee had to say, it was said by lok, except she wanted to say a little bit more and in different wording than that, but the same idea, so she just edited his post.

[jonathanjoseph 71]

No, I'm not. I've been here on another account for over 2 years.

[Shocker_33 4]

Why has this been moved to Off-topic?! This is a complaint! Not a ramble on about something irrelevant to Tanki!

[dogm45 10,678]

Listen the Mods. are doing a great job!!!!!!!!!!

[r_Slash1524_20 23]

Stop flooding the forum with useless memes.

[Nltobh 498]

If they do then it maybe it is an offensive topic, someone out there may get offended even though you or someone else may not realize it. They do what they think is best for the community, they may be harsh, they may be mean, but they still have to do there job. Another reason why they seem/are mean is because many people will say something that is insulting, whether it be to a mod or not, they are the ones who are responsible for all of us. and then people come along and get mad because their friend got banned or they got banned for something they did, even if it wasn't a very bright idea. So that harshness they receive would only be expected to bring sadness and anger, they are people to i'm pretty sure none of us like being "yelled" at because were trying to protect others.

Sorry if you can't understand what I am trying to say.let me try to sum it up

 

There anger/ "harshness is only a reflection of what they receive almost every time they try to fix a problem between players or try to protect other players from harm. Remember that most players are younger, so the mods have to also keep everything as clean as possible, and there are also many older players so when you say something that can get a parent worried that this game isn't a good place to be and take there possible business and children else where. You should be thankful that the mods are even here, because they have to go through many problems everyday to keep this game safe from dangerous people/hackers. And guys, if your going to argue and fight, please do it elsewhere.

Loktinho - Why do you only just start to complain about this topic?

If many topics have been made about the moderators actions, then why has the behavior of the moderators not changed? Keep the costumers happy to keep the business running smoothly and earning money.

You're first sentence only covers the trolls. I'm talking about genuine discussions about real and normal things Tanki related - just get locked.

Secondly, you'll find a 16+ sign in the bottom left corner of the forum. Maybe this would indicate that the forum is for people of 16 years or older.

Thirdly, it appears that the anti-swear filter on the chat has been removed as i've seen plenty of swearing with proper spellings this past week or two.

he is a first sentence? :huh:

Share ideas is not here it is in feedback , Mod close is not for fun or what they close because there is a topic that already make . Before make a new topic use search button first if you got a same topic your topic will be close .

Why it is Called Off - Topic, if we can't talk about other games?

[r_Slash1524_20 23]

Why it is Called Off - Topic, if we can't talk about other games?

+1

Either call it the second general section, or remove it.

[RiseOfCucumber 651]

Why it is Called Off - Topic, if we can't talk about other games?

This is why :
