General Discussion / Re: These false reviews need to stop.
« on: October 22, 2017, 11:50:35 PM »
Leaving aside the problem of having two forums, steam forum moderation is basically impossible because you have to have at least one board open to all steam users - which means insane people just make alt accounts forever.
As far as solving the review problem - it can't be solved. We've hit a rich vein of burning autism that can't be extinguished. Look at the cigarettes in this very thread acting like I've abandoned a child just because I won't play with them literally forever.
10 year olds were in kindergarten when maps were removed. We're not dealing with kids here, we're dealing with man children. Literal adult baby special interestists.

There's basically two major classes of negative review:
- People who played the game for 5 minutes and couldn't figure it out
- People who played the game for 500+ hours and are mentally ill
There's a few leftovers complaining about corrupted graphics (thanks nvidia), and mac problems (thanks apple).
I can't really do anything about any of these categories. My mistake was not charging a monthly fee or implementing microtransaction cancer. I probably could have bilked the mentally ill for their parent's entire life savings by now and gotten the same number of complaints. Most of the vocal participants want the game to burn - with them in it. I don't know if it's like Munchhausen syndrome, or if they want to feel alive by suffering, or if their ego is such that they cant bear to let other people have a game after their done with it, or if it's just arsonist's glee reveling in the power of destruction.
When you ask people what they want in the game, here's what they tell you:
- Revert back to version <whatever version was out when they were 12 years old>
- Bring back maps (so the game will look like it did when they were 12 years old)
- Implement some incredibly specific feature to satisfy my autism.
- Implement some never-before-seen technology and overhaul the entire game so it's basically a new game. Yes, for free please.
People will literally claim that there have been "no updates" since v21 (2012), ignoring dozens of updates because they're expecting an entirely new game - or something. There's no point in engaging with this.
Honestly, if we got B4v21 awareness out there, this stuff would probably fix itself. But in the mean time we just have to deal with pissy 10 year olds.

I assume he's referring to HRT since there are no girls on the internet (especially not on lego forums)

Even if the stories are all true, EvilLore is just a medium-creepy sperg - and what do you expect from someone who runs a gaming forum? The funny part is that he's crafted a community where even the accusation of violating a fair maiden's honor is enough to be excommunicated. So it doesn't matter if he did it or not - he's made this rod for his own back.
The real story is that most of the moderators quit (if they weren't already in jail) and the site relies on heavy moderation to maintain it's impossibly steep ideological slant. He'll either have to wrangle up a whole new group of amazingly hypocritical moderators or allow the politics of the forum to change. He could also step down either by selling the site or transferring it to a shell company with a hired manager.

Poll should have 3 options:
* Yes
* No (lying)
* No (prepubescent)
Those are really the only options. I saw a study a while ago about the effects of research where they had to cancel the study because they couldn't find anyone who hadn't used it.
