its not even moderation, as if you edit your flagged post in any way eg adding a full stop it uncensors it, so its litterally just a way to supress opinion XD

And then it gets flagged again and permanently hidden, and moderators won’t do anything either, so it is moderation.

Gaijin’s forums have always been about controlling the discussion. Best thing that could happen is for the community to create their own.
aye but that just means any dirty laundry is aired in public, see the most recent backlash
its an ironic situation, i see the steam reviews being permanently mixed moving forward
Not as long as Steam keeps covering for them.
Their options are to turn them on and have it go mixed for recent reviews, or keep it blocked, which if its been blocked for several months would look bad for gaijin
Virtually EVERYTHING about this new forum is a DIRECT downgrade. Almost everything needs an extra step or is just poorly thought out. Of all the things they don’t ask us about. It worries me that someone at gaijin actually thought this is somehow a good decision when its clearly a step back
There is so much wasted space on this forum it’s insane, it’s like 50% of the screen is blank, is there a second layout or something?
It’s not that Steam specificaly cover for them, but rather that they toggle their settings to not view “exceptionnals reviews” by default.
So once you restore the settings:

And it’s hidden by default for a reason, and what is the point of negative reviews if you have to opt into them to even see them? How many people are going to see the little asterisk there and figure out what is going on?
And even if you want to toggle it, Steam literally calls it ‘‘irrelevant reviews’’ which really sets the mood for these new people coming in, who will just assume people are complaining about the game and review bombed it and not take it seriously.
If I label something as trash, and you don’t know what it is, you are more likely to assume it’s trash yourself.
And even by their own guidelines, review bombing is when people leave a review for ‘‘out-of-game issues not relevant for new buyers’’ which also just does not apply here, the negative reviews are directly related to the game and relevant for future players.

I agree with the others…it is very hard to navigate this forum and I dont understand why it was changed.
The only aspect I like it the new optics, but overall I’d much rather have the old forum back.

Okay, this is actually just hilarious, my post about unregulated moderation got hidden because of unregulated moderation, couldn’t ask for a better example of this nonsense.

I am also seriously struggling to use the navigation, it seems like a clunky mess hidden under a bunch of subforums cramped into a tiny bar on the left side of the screen, this stuff is flat out unusable on mobile. you know its bad when its easier to make a post than it is to find content.
Just give us an option to change to dark text on light background, pretty pretty please.
So why cant we Flag Mods I mean what was it power to us
We have no power here
Otherwise we would not have this ugly forum in the first place
Everything done here is wrong. What should have been done is:
- Run new forum in parallel to gather feedback
- Notify community
- Migrate old posts
- Have bright and dark team for god sake! It is an industry standard anywhere. What hacks you hired for cheap penny to build you this peace of shit you call forum?!
