eekeeboo: For the full reply now. I want to highlight I'm
working on, with the team improving and revamping the forums to
make them both more user-friendly and more pleasant to
experience. Some mentions of stricter
moderation: We already have quite stringent moderation, that
receives a lot of complaints (from those who don't agree with the
rules). People don't always understand (for some reason) the rules
are rules. I know part of the problem is sarcasm doesn't
always transmit well over text and can result in a ban or penalty
when unintended etc. Pinned How to thread: I
will look into "how to post a new thread" topic, but I feel this
will end up the same problem of people already not reading rules
and guidelines as it is. Forum Negativity: As
always, I can't emphasise enough the importance of reporting posts
that you feel break rules or are offensive. I go through the forums
frequently when I can, but it's possible to miss things
occasionally. Reports will generate a list of people who the
moderators can then review. This system allows repeat offenders to
be removed from the forums and hopefully improve the
atmosphere. Community engagement: Wasn't brought
up, but one thing I feel is important for the forum positivity and
atmosphere is to have a strong interaction between yourselves and
staff/representatives. We have a lot of wonderful people on this
forum and some highly valuable individuals, but even these people
will eventually lose enthusiasm if they're not encouraged or given
support from people like myself. Part of my job is to have to stand
against "popular" opinion sometimes and give the facts from the
side of the business and the company. They're not always popular,
but it's my job, and people that understand this or understand the
behind-the-scenes reasons can and do get attacked personally for
having an informed opinion and being knowledgeable.
Somethings that can't be changed: Despite our best efforts
and intentions, you can't help everyone. People are different and
not everyone gets along. You have people from different cultures
and backgrounds, different jobs and education all mingling this can
cause a huge level of friction if someone is "stubborn" and set in
their ways. The important thing to remember is to respect a person
and talk to them how you want to be talked to. Like myself just
because I'm employed by WG gives no person a right to talk to me
how they please, I know I am not popular for the way I will not
tolerate this abuse or the opinions, but I will always give my
personal and honest approach to things. People deserve to be
treated as adults and if you can't accept you should listen and
read information and facts, regardless of whether you like them or
not, that's the way it is. Which leads me to the next part. Some
people feel they are right, and that caps lock and not reading are
the way forward. I have little tolerance and patience towards
people who choose to ignore and belittle my time and effort I put
into replying to things, just as anyone would. If someone takes the
time to give you a well thought out answer or think about your
question, please do this, clearly you have missed something that
you should be considering or thinking about.
