Anyone else noticed that since elsweyr most "negativ" Threads are getting closed very fast?

Or is it just my imagination...


Nevermind but I think the whole forum and ZOS Moderation are going into a censorship-adventure...which is more than worrying.

Hope this closing trend will disappear very quickly.

    They were probably given a dmg control directive, to keep more players from seeing how silly their patch is.

    Its seems so, yes. It also seems like it is a reaction to the negativity during the same period. Its definitely on the rise. Uncertainty about the upcoming patch, lack of communication, or lack of what players expected in terms of communication from ZOS, bugs, etc.

    Most threads seem negative, few are closed. I'm not see what you're seeing.

    It's much easier and faster to close a thread than actually fix the reason causing the thread, it's also pointing the blaming finger toward a customer Z0SZ0S!!!

    Yeah its always a little disappointing when you see the "Z" next to a discussion. Always have the hope that its a developer actually responding to a players frustration/questions/concern. But it always ends up being "There is no much negativity we are closing this down" message instead. :(

    Hi there, often times threads that derail into malicious comments directed at other forum members are closed if the conversation cannot be salvaged. Threads topics that are critical of the game are perfectly fine, as long as they remain constructive. Simply posting "I hate x y or z" as the only statement in your post and not elaborating on why or what changes you would make, isn't going to generate a meaningful discussion.

    We also ask that forum members don't create threads discussing a moderator's actions because these oftentimes derail very quickly and end up violating multiple forum rules. If you ever have a question regarding a forum action that was taken, we highly encourage you to message a moderator. We are happy to further explain or clarify for you.

    The very annoying thing happening often is when I see the Z on some interesting thread and it's too often the usual "nonconstructive comments removed" instead of giving some actual information on the issue, also many times the questions are totally relevant and constructive.

    Keep in mind, forum moderators are not devs, and they do not have the same access to information that the devs do. Oftentimes, companies will actually hire third party companies that provide forum and/or in-content moderators, and those are usually even less versed on the game content. I don't know which tactic Zos employs (although it'd probably be pretty easy to find out), but either way, the mods who comment on forum behavior are [generally] not the ones responsible for content or content changes. They're only hired to wrangle us unwashed heathens and make sure we don't freak out on one another and explode into flaming balls of nerd-fury.

    I understand this very well, but I've asked very clear questions from support and haven't got clear or sometimes any answers, also keep in mind that my account has been completely stuck for over 4 months now so I might get annoyed quite easily on forums nowadays.

    To answer a few questions related (specifically) to forum moderation and as long as it remains civil. @SweepsAllClowns have you opened a support ticket regarding the issue with your account?

    Yes I've had multiple tickets regarding my stuck EU account, missed daily rewards and ESO+ monthly statuettes, I've closed few myself and there's no open tickets at the moment. After 4 months I've lost all hope, not sure if there's even point to create a new ticket anymore.
