i don't really get why badspot is circlejerked by the community no matter how much of an starfish he is.
like seriously, he hasn't done anything for the game in a long time that's even meaningful and when people bring this up he and the golden few come around and get rid of people with legitimate opinions.
not only that, but he has a bit of a phil fish attitude where he acts like we don't deserve updates. like we have paid and played this game, so we're not allowed to ask more of it. and the only thing he's really done for this game in a while is "moderate" the forum by banning people on a kneejerk.
and whenever someone is arguing about one guy, badspot comes in and calls out the list of alts that guy has, and what bad stuff he's done, and everybody loves it, everyone instantly believes him - even when some of the information may not be true.
for instance,
let's say that I buy X game. X game is developed by Y developer. X game is phenomenal and one of the best games i've ever played. I log thousands of hours into it and can't stop. However, Y developer is indeed an starfish. Just because Y developer made X game and X game is good, does not make Y developer any less of an starfish.
Gotta love the key revokes. In situations where it's worth a revoke, for instance, if someone is legitimately ruining the experience of others by hacking the game or poses a threat to the actual game, it fits. But if somebody crashed a server for two minutes they get revoked - even if it's not really their fault - as we see here, with valcle. Without the actual situation being fully explained or valcle giving time to explain himself, Badspot has a kneejerk reaction that leads to a ban.
Incredible moderation, folks. Without even hearing the full story, Badspot says something like:
"X person purposefully slammed a door in someone's face once. I heard that someone got hit in the head by the door, and the person holding the door was X. X obviously did it on purpose, I'm not going to listen to his silly rebuttals or give other people a chance to refute. And if somebody does refute, I'll just ignore them or kick them out, as per usual."
Banning me just proves my point further. As you said:
This whole thing isn't to say that I don't recognize that Valcle has done this stuff in the past or might be at fault:
The end.
