Ok, so, all the regulars. Crusading against players with a different viewpoint to yourselves is pretty un-fun for everyone, especially newcomers to the boards. There’s a notable pattern that people are jumped on for having different views or experiences and it’s just not very cool.
Could we, maybe, keep it a bit cooler? Perhaps, if you disagree with a poster providing feedback, consider just not replying to them? A good way for us to guage player sentiment is to firstly look at the updoots a feedback item has (the heart button is a good one). Reporting someone for feedback isn’t fun for anyone. We then look in to the replies. However, damning someone for posting their feedback turns a thread in to a disaster.
Some tips.
- Smash the heart button on feedback you like. Posts like “+1”, “^ This” aren’t needed if you’re smashing that like button. Maybe you have something to add to the feedback you agree with? Sure, add it in to the mix. It’s useful!
- Crusading against someone with feedback different to your own makes the ‘experience’ much less pleasant for an OP. You can not support feedback by simply ignoring it and moving on to the next thread. It’s obvious when feedback isn’t wideley supported and that’s useful to us. You can challenge feedback you disagree with, sure, we’re not going to stop you from doing that, but do so in a respectful way. Should someone get salty at the challenge, then report them using the suited features, but don’t get salty yourself. It takes away from the validity of anyones point of view at that point.
We will look to clamp down on crusading as it’s turning people away from sharing their thoughts, thoughts you may not always agree with, but that they should be able to share without feeling crushed by the weight of the vets.
