Crpytic now censor server crash posts!!!

[Archived Post]

Ok, now i get the close/remove the iquit threads. This prevents the forums being flooded with unhappy x-players and potraying a bad image of both STO and Cryptic. However now they are closing all server crash posts?!!? . I logged on the forums this morning and went to check the link i saved. Simple to see how long the server was down for. Has peoples dislike and feeling of failure in Cryptic now got to the point they have to close any negative feedback?? Whats next? Q&A being closed because someone says something negative again the game??

Notably i now waiting for this post to be closed as well.

If you can cope with the heat cryptic you should have jumped in the lava pit!!!

Crash posts are as unnecessary as "I Quit" posts, and their removal isn't a big deal.
However, constructive negative feedback should never be removed.
I haven't personally seen a constructive post/thread removed to date.

I tried to load the forums earlier and noticed they were down. I went to the main STO site and that was down. I assume from your post now that the server too had gone down. Please, Cryptic, consider moving the forums at the very least to somewhere outside this arrangement so when things go badly we have one place to find information besides repeatedly hitting refresh. Better yet, create an official STO Twitter account where server updates can be sent. If there is one, oops and can someone link me?

That thread was pointless and borderline trolling.

Lot's of borderline constructive/nagative/trolling threads still exists too.

Wouldn't of been posting if the server was up. But I'm glad you get to pick what is pointless. Sorry, to have offended your eyes and wasting your time to read it. I think it was funny to tie a server crash to a classic trek line to a c64 which the servers must be running on. But, wait you may not know what a commodore 64 is, or ever had to deal with one. Might be showing my age here.

You can't expect the captain, in the middle of a storm, to have a sense of humor. If you want to become an comedian, you gotta learn about timing. If you want to become a captain, learn when to shutup :p

You were probably providing a truly enlightening bit of info. Maybe the company didn't know the servers were down and it took your thread (littered amongst the other bits of forum gold) to keep everyone in the loop.

Frankly, if there is one "Server's Down" thread already, post your "Yea, it's down" reply there. Everyone trying to play will already know the server is down, but let's try and keep the pointlessness in one easily ignored place.

Theres no doughty then in all my years of posting on this types of boards that this one is the most censored , I have never received and infractions ever in any boards here I have 6 , I actual got one the other day for posting "QFT" lol , fond that funny.

But I have to say even though the Iron hand of the mods is bit overdone , they do not close threads that are "constructive" the threads they close are once that have nothing to do with the game but invite trolling , I think personally they only invite more hate to wards them self by being so rigged , but they are fair , and if the thread you mentioned was closed there must have been a good reason IMHO.

Spamming threads got closed and/or deleted. No need for the tinfoil hat. The black helicopters aren't here for you.

The reason this post in question was removed was due to a couple of people referencing some posts made by a blogger where said blogger gave rather graphic details about their "hygeine" habit.

As clever as these posters were in trying to hide what they were posting by attempting to use "clever wording", it was still vulgar and the entire thread was removed due to that.

I had several posts within that thread and saw the ones in question.

That's why it was removed. There was no Cryptic conspiracy to remove threads about the server going down. I'll also remind everyone that Cryptic does maintain the right to remove any threads they want, whenever they want for whatever reason they want. They own the forums, so it is within their rights to remove posts/threads if they wish.

Follow the forum rules and you'll have no problems.

Just as long as they dont censor the "SHAKKA!! WHEN THE SERVERS FELL ! " thread, I will be fine with this new form of Corporate Communism. After all, that seems to be the direction most things in the world are heading these days...

I consolodated a lot of server down threads into one thread for better communication purposes. After the servers came back up, I think a number were locked since they were no longer relevent.

Otherwise, this isn't the venue to discuss moderation. Hit up community@crypticstudios.com if you have an issue.
