Okay folks, perhaps I’m being oversensitive but this thread is starting to feel a bit bad-tempered.
We’re all allowed to think whatever we like about games, and as long as we’re not being unnecessarily confrontational, to say what we like about them here. Just as others are entitled to disagree with our opinions. But let’s keep the discussion friendly and about the opinions rather than those who hold them.
apologies, I wasn't intending on being negative, my tone could have been different I suppose.
No need to apologise or indeed take my comment as pointed directly at you. There were a few posts in the thread that made it sound like some folk were getting a bit fed up, and I just to remind everyone to do their best to keep things positive rather than risk them deteriorating further while I wasn’t around overnight! I’ll be honest, I sometimes try to give a bit of a nudge if I’m not going to be around for a few hours when I’d probably otherwise keep a watching brief.
And @KillerRabbit and everyone else, I always welcome feedback on my moderation. If I don’t know how it’s landing then I can’t get better. But while I know I kind of asked for it in this instance by admitting I wasn’t sure if I were being oversensitive, I’d prefer folk to PM me rather than post publicly about my approach, at least to begin with. It can set a bit of a dangerous precedent on forums if folk are openly debating whether or not they agree with moderator calls, so for me that’s a last resort if you’re not getting any joy when picking up with them individually.
