Why is it that you guys are allowed to delete any topic that you don’t want to be discussed about? I am referring to my Unofficial Patch Note topic which was deleted without a valid reason.

Isn’t it out right as YOUR customer to voice what we want. Yes there are guideline say whats right and whats wrong but deleting a topic without provide a reason for it. Where is our freedom of speech when you will just delete the topic.

Hi everyone!

First, we would like to remind you all of the forum CoC – https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/rules -. Please, whenever posting stick to what it says, as in this case, remember that it is not allowed to post trying to grab the attention of the Devs, Anet or any of its employees – as in, adding names or Anet to the thread title.

The moderation team is here for a reason, and if we see that some post does not comply with the forum CoC we have to remove it. It is not a matter of freedom of speech, you are free to say as you wish as long as it is done properly. It is a matter of politeness, of correction, of education if you wish. You can voice your concerns, your discontent or even your happiness here while adhering to the CoC.

The post you mention, if it was removed, I’m sure it was due to a reason. Also, please remember not to question the actions of the community team. If you think the actions taken by any mod were not right, please feel free to write to [email protected] and explain what happened, but never post about it or discuss about it, because it will most likely derail and turn the thread unusable.

For any other questions you might have, please feel free to write and contact us.
Thanks for your understanding.

Hi again everyone,

Not because there is Anet or a Dev/Staff member name in a post it has to be deleted, that is why it was stated that you should not try to grab the attention of the mentioned individuals. It is ok to post “Thanks, Anet” per instance or “Dev XXXX stream on SoTG”. Those are not trying to call the attention of the staff members. On the other hand, threads like this “To the forum Devs” “To Anet” To the Mods” are not allowed. Simply because while we understand that you want the attention your post deserves, it is unfair to other threads.

But these are the rules and the forums are not the place to contest them or discuss them. For any suggestions on the matter, please contact [email protected].

Thanks for your understanding.
