Trolling posts already seem to be as frequent here as they were on the original forums. I was really looking forward to this site, but I guess I expected the new forums to have much stricter moderation, even if it means less posters. Quality, not quantity. This does not seem to be the case.


These new forums will quickly take on the awful stigma of the old forums if threads like this continue to be the norm and not the exception...

This person asks about the technical aspects of keyboard turn speed and most of the responses are absolute garbage.


This site has so much potential, but after almost six years it is blatantly obvious that a vocal minority of players will continue to make immature, unhelpful, and unnecessarily "angry" posts until there are actual unwanted consequences for doing so.

Heavy moderation always carries the risk of alienating certain players, but rampant trolling posts also alienate players... intelligent, adult players.
