ZOS MODS MANIPULATING FORUM POSTS

So the first time this happened i thought i made a mistake when i posted a topic. However, several times now posts i have put up in general discussion have been not deleted or closed, but MOVED to ther parts of the site. Often times buried in areas that are not looked at. The most recent post, which i won't name because they will probably move/delete this post, i made sure where i posted it.

Now if a post needs to be moved then they should be either asking or notifying the poster of a change. I FEEL that they are manipulating the forums. These posts have often not been placed incorrectly, I didnt ask for "customer service" nor was i looking for help but was trying to have my post IN a general discussion area because it was a GENERAL DISCUSSION POST.

    Kind of sounds like a question/concern you should address to ZOS directly rather than on a public forum. I would suggest asking why in a cool way rather than an accusatory way.

    No permission will be asked, nor any notification given for the movement of posts. These are their forums, therefore their rules apply.

    And I swear they're not out to get you. Honest.

    ZOS is following in the foot steps of other MMO's. There is no freedom of speech here its just set up to look that way. Read those agreements we all have to sign. Mods can do what they want anytime they want right or wrong.

    You are NOT entitled to post anything you like in any forum category with the hopes of your post getting more traffic. It is the MOD's JOB to move threads based on explicit guidelines to keep these forums somewhat tamed and managed.

    Their house, their rules.

    ^This.

    A forum is not a place of freedom of speech. There is a Terms of Service for this forum and the moderators have been given the power to enforce these rules.

    If you are unhappy with this probably you need to find another place to post.

    It's the mods' job to arrange forum posts how they see fit. At least I've seen in the posts, after moving thread from place to place, that they explain it was moved for certain reason. So don't try to find conspiracy in here.

    Hello, @AshleyLee and everyone. If a thread of yours was moved without a message explaining why, we apologize and will investigate. That said, please be assured we only move threads if they are deemed to be in the incorrect forum. We will be closing this thread, as it is discussing a specific moderation action taken, but we will be looking into your moved thread.
