Respecting

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 6:22 am

I just wanted to know why those with supposedly NO problems are posting and reading in the Issues forum? Obviously you are having some issues so please be respectful and let those who have been taken and ignored express there dissatification with the game. We let brag about the perfectness of what is you, Though we really don not care.
Or tell us what you did to get a working game.
If a poll about ways that a group of people can work together to express dissatisfacttion about a product we can not use is put up let it be or you may just be fueling an unwanted fire, of course that fact that it was locked may indicate a successful suit.
Please just respect the people who pay all Beth/ob employees, including moderators.

I agree.
Its infuriating to have people come on here and say 'my game works so you lot are whinging about nothing'.
One idiot on the Lawsuit thread even tried to say that the game has NO gamebreaking bugs.
As if corrupting all of your saves, forcing you to restart the game isn't gamebreaking enough.
People must just be imagining it.

The reason people do that is normally when someone says "everyone is having problems" or "everyone is having the DLC issue" or "everyone is...", when in fact it is not "everyone". "some people" are having the DLC issue, "some people" are experiencing a lot of freezing, and "some people" are experiencing only a handful of minor glitches.

However, I do believe these boards shouldn't include any of these polls or rants or anything. Maybe ONE topic and that's it, stickied and everyone can go to town. If you guys want your issues solved, the developers are going to just stop reading the board when everything is just buried under these types of topics. It's called the "Hardware and Software Issues" board, the idea is to post your actual hardware and software issue, including how you experienced it. I understand people are frustrated too, but start a blog, rate it poorly on Amazon, find your satisfaction somewhere else. Also, I know that for some reason people on these boards believe that freedom of speech only belongs to one viewpoint, but if you have the right to rant, they have the right to rant back. I think it'd be much better if the Moderators just deleted every single one of these topics on sight (the "My game doesn't work, you owe me money!" threads or the "haha svckers, my game works perfectly, you must be doing it wrong" threads), and kept it to actual discussion about the game and the specific glitches (but not rants and speculation about them, actual discussion)

Someone in another thread insinuated that people are lying that they don't have any major bugs, like those of us who haven't experienced the DLC bug are in fact making it up and we've all had it. Both sides have an equal number of infuriating people on board.

1) Closed for review. While well-meaning, I get a sense that this thread is in reference to a couple of other locked topics on this board. And we don't really allow threads that discuss Moderator actions, why a thread was locked, complaining about the complainers that complain about the complainers, etc. I'll see how my colleagues feel about this.

2) "Lawsuit" and "petition" -type threads simply aren't allowed on this forum. Personally, I don't have a problem with someone trying to sue Bethesda or Obsidian (worst-case scenario, for me as a Moderator, would be that it drives the company out of business and I'd no longer have this forum to go to in my free time - but that's about it.) But the company's own official forum really isn't the proper place to be discussing legal strategy against it. And petitions are against Forum Rules.

3) We do want to allow members with (obviously valid) issues express dissatisfaction and vent frustration here. The problem we continually run into here is that (naturally) we're dealing with an emotionally-charged subject. Bad-mouthing the company is fine. Arguing, debating, and voicing conflicting opinions is fine. Taking things to a personal level, flaming, trolling, etc - is a good way to get a thread locked. If you think you see someone derailing a topic, flaming, or otherwise acting against our rules, please do use the Report function.
