One moderation too far

[seePyou]

Yes I'm sad, because I love this game and it saddens me when something so vital to the game is broken. So I lashed out a bit on the developer diary thread, saying I will not buy anything else until the sectors are fixed. That post got moderated out of existence for being needlessly toxic and a reasoning that I should speak up on what specific problems I have.
Setting aside that any moderator and user and recipient of comments from the forums here should already know what the sector complaints are, and setting aside that I was speaking about the specific issue of the sectors (without further details, though, just "sectors"), and adding that I used no profanity. I find the moderation of the post unnerving.
I could be wrong, but I do not think this is how moderation works.

As a friendly head's up, this thread's likely going to get locked - best to send the moderator a PM asking for an explanation. Public threads tend to result in unnecessary drama and come across as a bit 'witch-hunty'.

Most likely, the reason your post was removed is because the issue of sectors is a dead horse that's been so thoroughly beaten that it's now being sold as beefburgers in Tescos. That doesn't mean your points are bad or wrong, it just means the arguments at this point tend to illicit emotive response that wouldn't have been on topic in that thread anyway.

So instead of yet another sector argument derailing a thread it has no bearing on, the mods will nip it in the bud in advance. I believe there's a joint thread for sector issues floating around somewhere anyway. My top advice would be to make unique threads for issues and air grievances in the correct places.

Well said.

Sectors aren't allowed to be complained about outside of a special "sectors" thread Wiz posted.

Wiz opened a Sector Only thread again. Please feel free to add your Salt Shaker to that thread. Many here seem to like their Forums very Salty.

Most Forums have a rule as part of the TOS:
Do not open a thread to discuss moderation. Same way you do not reopen a thread that was locked. That kind of stuff just never leads anywhere usefull. And you propably accepted those rules when you made the account.

Trying to blackmal the Developer (Do X or I do not buy) is also unlikely to get over so well. Propably should have not said that.

As was said, the whole "Sector" discussion has been done to death. Composted. Revived.
Beaten to death more slowly and painstalkingly. And now it is being resurrected. Yet. Again. In TL;DR; the discussion reads:
"Ain't perfect, never will be. Won't be removed outside of mods and the existing ingame exceptions."

Most fixing of sector is also better done by reworking the mechanics altogether to be supportive of the sector/empire AI. So whatever changes they make to slavery as part of Banks, propably is part of "fixing the sectors".

Getting 7 disagrees is the bottom line, so obviously I am in the wrong here. Thank you all for commenting.
