    If a post is generally filled with hyperbole, and/or calling DB out directly, its gonna get shut down. That will help @Mbannar and others to not waste time creating posts to threads that will get shut down.

    Do not always agree, hyperbole is to board of a sword to wield, as for calling DB out, is not the fourm where you can bring your game issues to talk to DB about? If not whats the point of the fourm if you can not find out from players/fourm mods about issues your having with a DB game, the joys and frustrations?

    And dont say customer support because the are not DB
    And dont say customer support because half of them dont seem to even play the game or know about the ingame issues

    I didnt make the rules...but there is a fine line between discussing customer reps, and quoting them. There is a fine line between saying 'hey db, uh whats up with doing this?' and 'hey db, WHAT THE HECK??!!' There is a fine line between asking fellow players for help getting around a problem or what compensation to negotiate for, and dissing db for the problem. I learned this with a post i wrote about boycotting spending till the ent e was added, Shan pmed me and asked me to change my post. I asked why and she explained a few of the community guidelines.

    They are pretty accepting of player criticism but usually they close them because they either go off topic or turn into a DB bashing.

    Ultimately I think these forums are well managed thanks to @Shan and @Black Pebble

    Agreed 100%!!! as a in game friend of mine BadJimmiz said, 'the Mods are trying to put out a wildfire...with a squirt gun, thats empty'

    If you want a forum where you can a wide latitude of what you say about DB, go to the STT Reddit.

    If you want to have an actual chance at DB reading what you have written, make a concise, focused post that is about a specific issue. Bring whatever facts and statistics you can to back you up. Do your best to keep your thread that is important to you on topic (obviously not entirely in your control, but it's possible).

    This.. really hardcore this.

    I feel that in some ways traction is not gained on issues when it does not start just with the facts.

    Agreed. Posts that start with “I’m not spending a single dime here ever again” or toothless threats of legal action are worthy of being ignored right off the bat. Likewise with the “I’m quitting” or “DB hates us all and is only out for our money until they have wrung us dry and moved on to another IP” kind of posts.

    Don't forget I'm gonna sue or go postal or whatever

    Yes, I love the I’m a lawyer and I feel my time is best used going after a video game I play

    Oh I can assure you they're not lawyers. Whenever you hear someone shouting "I'm a lawyer and I will sue" at a cashier or a video game forum or the sky, it's almost certain confirmation that all they know about law they got from Legally Blonde.

    A lot of posts get shut down for posters getting personal in their responses with each other... once the direct insults come out, it’s just a matter of time before it’s shut down... it is the internet after all... I think a lot posts would he more constructive if the poster waited a few hours for the initial rage to calm down before posting... also applies to dealing with CS as well...

    One of the quickest ways to avoid having a post you work on wind up in a shut-down thread is to look at the OP... The same people get their stuff shutdown all the time... I'd type out their handles, but no need to give them more notoriety...

    Yes, through her in depth knowledge of perms.

    And I think Elle would be much too reasonable to start screaming at the developers of a video game.
