Why are all the threads about players discussing how they don't like the new update being instantly deleted? This isn't how you ever find constructive criticism. Deleting complaints doesn't get rid of them.

Probably because the threads include more negativity and complaints than helpful ideas.

Constructive criticism is a thin line to walk. If you just go X, Y and Z sucks then never say why or how it could be changed then you are just complaining. Now if you say X, Y, and Z sucks because of 1, 2, and 3 and if you did A, B, and C to change it then the problem would be solved. So my best bet is that players are just saying things aren't good and leaving it at that

This coming from someone who enjoyed the release. quote: Why are all the threads about players discussing how they don't like the new update being instantly deleted? This isn't how you ever find constructive criticism. Deleting complaints doesn't get rid of them. Because that's how things have gone for a very, very long time. Trust me, I know.

Nah, Battleon forums is just strict on regulation. Company-owned forums tend to be for PR reasons on potential consumers looking in. [:D]

Meh, I can understand it, but two major forums I frequent, Supercell Forums and Blizzard Forums, only remove and lock threads when they start getting extremely out of hand. If players are complaining about something that happened they won't lock or remove it unless a flame war pops up. If people are complaining about something, it should be the company's responsibility to fix it, not the players. Just my thoughts.

One Winged Angel1357 has pegged a lot of it. We're looking more for feedback and not for complaints. A complaint is little more than an alert that something needs to be changed. To hear it 20-200 times does not increase productivity, in terms of changing whatever the complainers want to see changed, nor does it make said changes happen any faster. Offering new ideas to take the place of ones you mean to destroy, however, is another story. We welcome ideas as long as they really are constructive and they are presented in a neutral or positive manner that doesn't happen to be forced into your face (keep in mind that is an 'and', not an 'or') To answer your question, then yes, we are deleting threads that don't meet one of the above criteria. That is, it is either not constructive, not positive/neutral. For example, I recently deleted a thread that was something of a personal hate list, which sought only gather up what was considered a "fail" in ED and amass it into one giant list. Such is not ideal because a) Staff should be aware of some, most, or maybe even all of those items, and so gathering a list like that and shoving it into their face is not something they need and b) Although they provide criticism that is considered constructive, the manner he, the threadstarter, speaks in is rude. He seemed to want to hurt more than he wanted to help and so he created the list to achieve that goal. One final thing to say is that there are also what we consider "duplicate threads" in that if there is an existing thread (like a Design Notes, for example) and someone creates a thread that has content relating to that existing thread, then that new thread will be deleted because there is no need for it We don't delete topics arbitrarily, even if it seems like it at first. I hope you understand at least that point. That said, if you have anymore questions, feel free to pm me or another ArchKnight or Moderator. I will lock this thread though since the "inquiry" has been answered and there is no need for further ones to take place. ZanpakuTo EDGD ArchKnight
