Half the posts on forums are modded

ForzaRammer

Everything is filtered, no authenticity is left.

Half the threads closed don’t even contain vulgar language.

This thread will be closed as you are not allowed to even discuss moderation, reddit remaines so mildly moderated alternative.

I just want to say that given this, half of the forum posts aren't modded.

Of the 28 posts visible in the Recent section of the forum, only 8 have a mod symbol on them. So around a quarter of the posts. But even then, most of those 8 aren't even actual moderation, they are just moving the threads to a proper sub forum or they are answering questions.

Y'all are really overblowing the moderation impact on the forums.

Eh, this one is more baffled about the threads that get shunted to other sub forums without the issues in the threads being recognised/addressed by the moderators.

There are few unmodeated forums left. Even murkiest corners of web mod at least spam, loony politics and illegal material because it will spill over and drown any "free speech" if unchecked. ESO forums are pretty readable compared to less moderated places. One can discuss everything relevant to gaem here if one minds how to express it and alternative (but still moderated) forums exist.

Never mind, they control the vertical.

They also delete posts and suspend accounts without announcing it with the "mod symbol".

I mean, if you don't want your threads closed or your posts moderated there is a code of conduct you can read at any point. Also, most of the threads that get closed are duplicates of another or have devolved into back and forths.

Im pretty certain that the OP has had a thread "moderated" and the title changed that did not violate the ToS or CoC.

Changing something that someone said into something that you wanted them to say without their consent is effectively removing their voice. Its orwellian.

I think a lot of the sub-forums/categories need to be done away with. The forum doesn’t have enough interaction to merit so many different places for posting.

Orwellian...

This isn't the government. It is a private forum. There is nothing Orwellian about it at all.

And to continue with that thought…
I used to always sort by “recent” for the ease of seeing the most recent posts.
Now, I feel obligated to always sort by “recent” to stay up to date on what’s happening on the forums because threads get closed and moved around so much.

Close some of the categories instead! Still allow posting on those topics or whatnot, but there shouldn’t be so much separation.

A forum being moderated is Orwellian? It is zos's forum, they get to pick the rules and we voluntarily agree to them to be here.

This isn't the government. It is a private forum. There is nothing Orwellian about it at all.

Next they will be making first amendment arguments, which again, are completely irrelevant to a private entity controlling their forum.

This will be shut down in 3...2...

This issue has caused me to lose half a nights sleep over half the time over the last half of the last year. I've slept like a baby skeever the other half of the time so it's all good.
