PoE Forums Are Broken – How to Fix Toxicity & Engagement

"

Nobody wants to silence feedback. To me it sounds like you want to put yourself into a victim position because you experienced that. You made a rage post and someone called you a whiner or a baby.

no i dont see that as an equivalency. the person upset about the game is on topic. he is providing feedback about his experience playing the game.

the others are getting upset about someone complaining. that isnt about the game. its reduces signal to noise ratios and is the primary source of toxicity. because its an attack on an individual simply because they have an opinion that doesnt match their own.

to say no one here wants to silence feedback. that is a bold faced lie.

my beef to put it more simply is this. there is a faction on this forum that repeatedly tries to discredit other voices or invalidate what they have to say. that is a waaaay different thing than someone being upset about the product. i dont how i can spell that out more clearly.

The point is simple. Toxic behaviour should not be supported. Toxic feedback should be tolerated.
If you make a rage post you can easily change that post and make it not toxic. The amount of insults to the developer in some posts is insane.

But can we get back to the actual issue. Of basically no moderation at all despite some insults getting removed by support.
You cna right now create 2 sticky posts with Feedback for Death Penalty and Feedback for Performance. And then you cna merge every new thread about this into the sticky thread. '
And you get rid of a lot of threads this way.


I for example have no issue with one portal or citadel generation.
I dont like the infinite Atlas and made a suggestion on how to change it nobody even reacted to it. Not enough Drama in the thread.
And i doint really have an issue with Towers. They are annoying but you can deal with it. I would prefer if a tower always has a boss at the end. So using Tier 15 on it is actually worth it. They are good for Delired Maps tho.

A faction implies its an organised Group. That is not the case.
And i dont think anybody wants to silence someone else. Can you give an example. Cause i dont think thats the case.

you are correct, faction wasnt the best choice.

heres titles from a very quick search.

They already nerfed Sanctum because of noobs who wouldn't stop crying
Stop moaning and crying that "ThE gAmE iS tOo DiffICulT" - it's meant to be
Here's a smack upside the head for all the whiners. THIS IS EARLY ACCESS: DEEP BREATH!
KEEP IGNORING THESE COMPlAINERS
Stop whining like a child.
Can't people just stop with the whining already?
Please quit whining like a toddler
Feedback: The game is not "too hard." Do not listen to the senseless whining, GGG.

common thread with alot of these. the attempt to invalidate or silence other people. again ill repeat it. that is way different than complaining about a product.

The problem with this community's toxic forum posters is that they have formed a parasocial relationship with the Devs. They think Johnathan and Mark are their real-life pals and godfathers of their imagined children. This combined with their mistaken belief that this is a high-skill game and not a one-button game makes them prideful and arrogant. So what you get is a pathetic toxic-positivity White Knight problem (like you see in a game like FFXIV) crossed with a toxic elitist problem (like you see in a game like Dark Souls).

There's like 3-5 power posters here who troll any thread giving negative feedback of the game. Unsurprisingly, at least one of them showed up within the first few replies of this thread.
