Sir! There's a barrage of flak incoming! What are your orders? We do what we always do soldier....sit back and enjoy the show with popcorn and a cold one.
In all seriousness though. I love this game and its community. Clean and productive forums are what we can do if we really want to support the game at this point. The Mods are doing their part. We should do ours.
Thanks for listening to my ramblings. Feel free to flame me or praise me. This is only an opinion from an internet skrub afterall.

No more spam. Threads being locked. In general I am very satisfied with the moderation on the forums in these past few weeks. Even though there isn't much to talk about in terms of new content, that's not an excuse to use the HAWKEN forums as your own personal troll headquarters and popcorn consumption zone. If you aren't able to have relevant discussion, don't discuss. I'm glad that steps are being taken to move us in the direction of relevancy. Really looking forward to continuing to talk Hawken with you all here in the future.

The very idea of having a video game-related forum board consisting entirely of well-thought-out, respectful, relevant posts and conversations is a castle in the sky. Locking a tongue-in-cheek thread with a bit of bickering is not the right way to go, even if it is slightly off-topic.

It's also entirely up to the mods as this isn't a democracy and the forum is a privately owned space, all we can do is start whichever discussions we feel don't break the rules and go from there. If threads get closed without anyone giving an explicit reason why then the same threads will come up (and the same people will get a little too emotionally invested).

Maybe better for moders replace topic into off-topic section, than close it, if topic broken some rules? (if broken)
Also, as I know, any discussion of moderators actions = closed thread or ban without any explanation. So...

Just as long as it doesn't turn into the unsupervised narcisistic playground for the mods like we had during the Decline and Fall of the Empire, here. it got so that it was intensely fun smurfing up and poking at them with sharp sticks just to annoy them, and see how fast you got banned.
It was sort of a self-feeding monster. This we don't need.

I've had my fair share of crappy mods. I was once temp banned from a forum for no reason.
I asked around. One of the mods said the guy had a "bad day" and decided to ban me.
Oh, and this was the same place where, after the original admin tried to shut the place down, the other mods made it so everytime you said his name it was replaced with "vagina".

Sorry I don't agree....that thread was locked for good reason and the people responsible need to get a grip on inflated egos or create their own little private chat room where they can go at it. Having a few back and forths between people is one thing but this foolishness tends to go on forever... This was at the very best ponderous ...

And I really hate the new moderation, they take the fun out of everything ... if we can't find enough fun ingame at least let us go wild in here like the old days ....

you made it even more boring.This thread is super boring.
Also, moderator can give a warning, if see that thread falling in off-topic, if people not hear, then close thread, else not doing nothing. I think it will be a right way.
Actually, many thread starting like "we need nerf sabot!", and ended like "no, we need buff a mini-flak instead!". And it is not bad.

I have three warning points for calling someone a dildo.Yeah there's a reason warning point functionality exists...
Numerically speaking, I have no idea what the warning points signify. Is that like, how hard I called someone a dildo?

Thats nothing, on the old forums, Mod2 gave me a warning point because I quoted someone elses post where they violated the rules. My post was in no way a violation either.
The numbers just mean how bad they felt it was, once you accrue so many points (must be 20+) I assume action is taken, but I have a bad feeling "action" actually means nothing at all.

I am ok with locking some threads when they derail too much but was very sad when this happened with both of them on suggestions forum with no comment about the actual idea of the first post.
I also would be glad when they ban cheaters so fast like they lock forum threads. This doesn't feel balanced.

I hope that this is not the case, as it would imply that calling someone a dildo is equivalently offensive to posting a picture of nyancat running in to the world trade center on September 11.

SS396 understand me, I mean moders can say something like "calm down guys, or I closed the thread because offtopic"
I tried to understand you, I thought I read your previous post correctly, but your two posts do not seem to match. One says to post a warning message, and then to lock the thread if the derailing continues. Your second post just mentions a warning, and explaining the reason for closing the thread. I realize english isn't your native language, but I can only go off of the information I see.
I hope that this is not the case, as it would imply that calling someone a dildo is equivalently offensive to posting a picture of nyancat running in to the world trade center on September 11.
What else could it possibly mean? Both cases were offensive to at least 1 person, and broke the rules. Since they were handled at different times though, comparing them isn't really valid in my opinion.

I have such a hard time believing that anyone was offended by being called a dildo. It's like being called a kumquat. Or a shaved polar bear. Or a sloppy milkshake. Or an asparagus. fuzzy bunnyn asparagus.
This is the thread where we discuss moderator decisions, yes? That is the intent of this thread? Good. Just want to make sure I'm not going off topic here.

This post is completely off-topic. This is the thread where we discuss dildos crashing into the world trade center. Way to derail it.

look i'm not the kind of person to respond to things by sardonically going "lmao" or something like that. I'm really not. But I laughed, and am having a hard time not laughing while writing this.
I'm literally imagining someone running down a street in saints row three with a horrified expression on their face with a wall of wobbly penetrators just collapsing behind them all "Day After Tomorrow" like.
It's glorious. Thank you for that imagery, however indirect.
Attacked by dildo.
"Florida man suffers vicious dildo attack."
"Florida man suffers verbal attack by man on internet calling him a dildo."
I'm not sure I've ever called someone a name with the intent to offend, and believe you me, if I did I wouldn't be calling them a dildo. If someone actually submitted a report for that as if they were offended and it wasn't just Tiggs reading through the thread having a bad day, then good lord that person likely gets scared of kittens.

Look, if you want to run around like its 3rd grade playground and act like a child calling people names, thats your prerogative, but when someone shows up and reprimands you for doing it, don't act so surprised. You are old enough to know right from wrong. Its as simple as that, treat others how you would like to be treated.

My friends call me a dildo all the time or some other humorous vehicle. It's not calling someone a name, it's calling someone a dildo, buddy, guy, fwiend.
"Florida man suffers vicious buddy attack."
It's just not the same though.
I think you're misunderstanding the concept. It seems a bit intentional.
