Forum Censorship

From my experience, most off-topic threads simply get locked. I've witnessed other threads detailing exploits get deleted in the past, but why do some other perfectly valid, albeit non-related, discussions keep getting removed without explanation? As far as I know, no forum rules are being broken, and even if they are, shouldn't such threads be locked and not censored?

    They want all threads to be about the game and to be fully constructive in their eyes, and such things are in the eye of the beholder.

    As far as the threads detailing exploits getting deleted, they want you to report them in game or via email, not post about them in the forums (more so in detail) which could tip off other players to go about abusing them before the devs can fix them.

    Just have to be creative in connecting your topic to ESO. The mods are usually pretty lax about things/go with it if you make some effort to reference ESO in some way to whatever you want to talk about. "Will you play more or less ESO now that Trump has been elected President?" rather than "Seriously, did that guy from 'The Apprentice' just win the White House?"

    I agree with the devs on this, when I come to the ESO forums I want to see ESO related discussion, not some totally unrelated threads about random things. If you want to enjoy a forum experience where you just post random nonsense all day and all the users just attempt to troll each other or scream for attention, try a different game's forums.
    I spend way too much time and money on this game.

    Speaking of Fallout... Fallout 4 is awesome.
    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.
    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.

    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    I like cloak. I like stealth. And I LOVE me some radiant magelight.

    I like the NB folks (and others for that matter) scooting around in IC assuming that I'm clueless and helpless..

    Just yesterday hubby (breton/reachwoman/templar/DPS) and I (Dunmer/DK/firemage/control&interrupt) [we are EP] were trucking around doing writs and we found an AD stalking a fellow EP ... watched for a bit, then the AD attacked while the EP was taking on a daedroth.

    It was highly satisfying to jump and toast the AD.

    Oh and I'm here in general to discuss ESO.

    Other stuff does come up, but as an adjunct to my ESOing

    My biggest rant, ALL the "pet" players know AND use AND Share (with their private guilds and/or to their paid subscribers) what the current "issues" or "glitches" of "exploits" or "creative use of game/system mechanics to the characters best advantage".
    The rest of us find out how badly we've been outdone by reading the patch notes.
    here's one example, Veteran Malestrom Arena titles including "perfect run", the majority of players had taken advantage of a previous issue to get it. But, the title was the side benefit of the loot rewards received.
    And the rest of us "casual players"?
    Just whatever....

    As easy as it is to share exploits in guilds or elsewhere it's just as easy for ZOS to strip them of any titles/achievements/loot they have gotten. They can easily go into the data and see who was abusing any exploits. The question is how much effort will ZOS put into it.

    So it may "suck" us "casual players" get left out but the exploiters can easily have their accounts rolled back or outright banned. So in the end is the risk worth the possible rewards?
