Not at all, I know the bad moderation is worse than someone just playing the game :mrgreen:

Mods are 50% of the reason i even stopped posting most of the time.

Other 50% reason im not playing is slow updates / broken machanics.

I can confidently say that at least 50%+ of the mods have a strong negative outlook on this game, which is very bad publicity for the game and turns away newbs instantly.

Wishy For mod.

It would be nice to see who voted what.

I could make a dozen accounts and push it towards my agenda.

Yea I'd be interested to see the actual results without the inclusion of tribal sycophants and/or their sockpuppet accounts.

I was tempted to use some of my own though haha.

Seriously though. Not playing a game because forum moderation... Its not a valid point to begin with imo.

I voted 'lack of updates' and 'broken mechanics'.

Lack of updates is probably obvious, if clearing up now (at least for those of us who look at the dolda repo from time to time :) )

Broken mechanics: obivous too, I'd think.

I don't play plymouth, of course, but I think the tribe creates such an awesome RP context for the server that it should be lauded. Don't misinterpret, i don't like how they enslaved the whole server and are pretty much untouchable and so on, but that server is what an open world game should evolve into. It only needs more than one faction to make it really interesting.

I don't see why the moderation would keep you away from the game itself. If you want to, you just limit yourself to the bug and help forums, which are relatively troll-free and moderated just fine for my taste. Of course, for a lot of people the forum is a big meta-game incentive :)
