I want to say you're joking, but you never can tell when it comes to rpg.net.

Quote from: Warboss Squee;838960That was more of a "wtf is this guy referring to" moment.

He's using hyperbole to say that moderation is becoming so strict they are likely to ban using words such as a, an, and the (articles) and at, after, as for and for (prepositions).

Doesn't one of them never use "he" or even male examples when they post?

That would be one example.  Now that's okay when it's your choice, but yeah, I was wondering when moderation would actually get to that point.

Oh yeah, its fine by choice if a bit strange.

Haven'y noticed any of that, but I don't really pay that place much mind these days.

22 for me; I don't know how anyone can tolerate 10 posts per page. Makes navigating threads really annoying.

Letting Onyx Path writers become moderators for the site was probably the exact moment RPG.net became a lost cause. The egos of said writers, wrapped up in their own products and company as well as their politics has squeezed out any and all honest discussion.

It's like letting the developers of Capcom become official Forum Moderators at a videogame forum...Or letting the executives of Ford run a Forum for Car companies...

I ended up recieving my permanent ban because of these moderators and their personal politics, not for any real offensive behavior, but because I expressed an unpopulat political opinion...

God forbid you attack their company or the games they write now...

The sad thing is, our industry is so small already, RPG.net will chug right along due to inertia. These writers will get to keep their personal fifedom because we have little alternative.

It's still the largest forum to speak about RPG's not directly related to a game's official webpage.

I'm slightly bitter about being locked out of the "Tree House" so to speak, and having my appeal 7 months later rejected and told "Try again in 6 more months!" but as my fiancee tries to remind me, I really shouldn't care... and in my more rational moments, I realize I really shouldn't..

I lost respect for most of those writers (Not all) but most from seeing their behavior. I might even still like their work, but they're not the people I should really even want to hang out with, given their behavior.

Anyway, I'm rambling now, but I think my message is on point. It's a fool's endevour to insult Onyx Path based products on RPG.net.... Unless they do something which pisses off almost the entire base of the website ((Like Beast: The Primordial did)) and even then....the defenders of the game were allowed to be far more belligerant than those crictizing it.

I left after only one insane interaction with the mods.  I got a warning for trolling and I replied explaining how they misunderstood that post and gave other examples of what I meant, but also apologizing for the poor wording.  So I got a suspension for responding to moderator posts.  When another poster asked what was going on they posted publicly that I was harassing the moderators by private message.  They flat out lied in order to make someone questioning them stop. I never went back.


Incidentally it was in a thread related to an Onyxpath release.

I really really want what the last two posters said not to be true...because rpg.net was my first rpg-themed forum i knew and i loved that place...i spent many (many, many) an hour there...but unfortunately, it is true...and it becomes ever more intolerable. Nowadays the only thing that most of the threads over there do, is raise my blood-pressure because it is off the charts on the bullshit-o-meter.

Sad...really sad

Isn't there one admin left who is not an OPP staffer and/or SJW? Or is moderation of the moderators by the admins non-existant?

I know, waaaay off topic...sorry.

I don't think Darren McLennan is an OPP staffer or SJW - but unfortunately he's a power-tripper and an arsehole of the first degree.

What can I say?  People love shitting on Exalted.

There's allot of passion and emotion invested in that game and that's going to lead a great deal of spite, bitterness and schadenfreude.
