That's cute and all, but why not take 2 seconds to add it here as well?

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/moderation

Because it only applies to CE. DToast mentioned that when he made the announcement about no suspensions/ban topics many people on the site were confused because it was specific to CE.

I also agree with Stero that it's a form of trolling/harassment, because suspensions could lead to warned status, and people can post here while warned now.

It was more it was only a problem on CE. Not it was limited to CE.

What would have been more effective would have been a sticky topic on CE.

I agree a sticky would have been more effective, but I understand why something wouldn't be listed in the main rules if it was mainly happening on one board. I do think the no politics rule should be listed, but I'm guessing they didn't list it because of the complexity in narrowing it down.

Ou yeah absolutely. The fact politics isnt mentioned in the TOU despite it being their biggest change to the site is weird as hell.

Yes. Thats been addressed already. The issue is the wording imo. The issue itself was limited to CE on the most part. The rules apply site wide.

Hence why I think a sticky on CE would have been a good addition to the original post on the announcements board.

Looks like it. DToast said they were going to go into more details than that though. It was supposed to have its own thread like the transphobia one.

Personally I dont see it as that big an issue. They cant account for every single fad theres ever been on here. Where the rule for not being able to post cool story bro or rickrolling. There has to be a line somewhere and a fad that only happens on one board is well below it in my personal opinion.

There are many thing to criticise Fandom for. This is low on the list. I find its more crazy how there is no mention of politics in the rules despite that being their flagship change to the rules to date.

It might not be a "big issue", but it reflects on how much they actually care about being community managers.

I'm betting gamefaqs boards is at the bottom of their to-do lists.

TImmyQuivy (Admin)? What happened to SBAllen? How much has changed since I last visited these boards? Also, GameFAQs got bought by another company 2 years ago? I guess that sort of explains things. The message sort of feels like, "The members of this board and its general culture are from the old internet, relics of a a bygone era, and have no place in the current internet."

I'm sad to see that Current Events is private. ;_; I used to come here because it was the most active board on the site and it was nice seeing a lot of active threads. Now that's basically dead... Good thing I visited the site a few times in the past year.

SBAllen stayed as Admin until October last year when he stepped down.
Did you read the linked feedback threads?
They waited with replying until it got close to 500 before basically replying I see that most of you are against this. Since we care about our users, let me say FUCK YOU, we dont care about your feedback. Please keep giving us your feedback in this next thread, because we care about our users.

One of Toast's experiments to boost engagement must be releasing new, confusing, and poorly documented rules that get inconsistently enforced to the point where nobody knows what they can say where. I don't know how this is going to lead to growth, but I'm also not an entry-level community manager in a giant soulless corporation that throws nobodys at websites they're planning on dismantling because all they want is the data and the guides and not the people, so who am I to say if this is the right approach or not.
