If I may share some observations with ImmortalCow about TB forum and how staff 'abuses everything', it will be a bit longer post, but don't worry oh, most magniificent staff personel, there will be question at the end. ;}
I think TB forum is most liberal forum of all other forums I was a part, and believe me, I was on many. TB is a 'home' I always like to return to. On other forums staff is either composed of robotic people without any imagination that is so above their users that you think you are speaking with yourself with every post, or totally nazi-oriented place where you get slapped every time you accidentally fart.
Imagine a place where when you do some stuff that isn't correct by the forum rules your post gets moderated like this:
[This post was moderated by [insert name of the mod/admin here] at [insert time]]
And, that's it. No one knows why u were infracted/banned. You get a PM with explanation where you need to confirm that you accept the punishment so you will be able to post again when it expires!!!
If you try to discuss about moderating measures you get instantly banned since it is forbidden by the rules, so u get another:
[This post was moderated by [insert name of the mod/admin here] at [insert time]]
And only u again know that you have been banned because u try to discuss validity of punishment. You have an option to send email to support and talk with them about it, but then you get automatically generated response: We are sorry bla, bla, bla, but we can't do nothing about it etc.
Now, imagine a forum where almost every EU nation has their own sub-forum managed by 2 admins that are from that country, speaking that language, and got jobs almost without any cross-check from company that employed them.
It's a fucking spawn pit for mini-Hitlers! XD
Btw, if I would have said 'fucking' there this whole post would probably look like this:
[This post was moderated by [insert name of the mod/admin here] at [insert time]]
I got 7 day ban for saying 'clusterfuck' when I tried to explain what is happening on their game servers in the peak of holidays, when there is 200 K users online. Heh...
Now, lets look at TB forum.
It's manged by people from the community that are so many years with us we are almost a family, they do it for FREE (let me say it again FOR FREE!) and they are not robots, but actual human beings and mostly fun, devs are basically always with us, you can ask Hampa on IRC whatever you like (and if he has time, and question isn't stupid, in 7 of 10 cases he will probably respond), we have ban appeal thread, and if you get there there is 99% chance that you are there for very good reason. You can speak freely about anything here, you can critique admins and mods, and game itself, and you won't 'disappear in the night' without any explanation, at least I never saw something like that...
And one thing: as long we have people like SkulFuk and hanz0 behind the TB forum rudder we not gonna sail into cliffs of Nazism like I saw on other places.
So, if you really want to fight true revolutionary fight of the free people, join me on the
World of Tanks forum! XD We need Martyrs like you there to lead us to the final victory against forces of true evil! XD
Anyway, the question for staff.. Which I now forgot... What the hell was it, it was really important...hm...
Ah, yes, did you check with guys behind
GOG.com to put Toribash as free game download there? They seam very 'indie friendly', and it can't hurt.
