3LUE Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Anyone else notice that WG discord general chat is like a club and if you are not member they ignore you. I find it funny that WG thought going to discord was a good idea. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snargfargle Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Discord reminds me of a high school lunch room, whereas these forums are more like a community pot luck supper. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it funny that WG thought going to discord was a good idea. It's a high school clique. If you provide constructive criticism, they will move from ignoring to outright trolling of you. WG volunteers are encouraged to insult and belittle those who don't conform to the company line. This toxic and against the rules behavior is allowed by WGs 'moderation' staff. Don't give that place your time. It's far better here. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugilistic Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Its by design not conducive to sustained conversation. I think that was very amenable to WG. This is much better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iDuckman Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) Discrud 'threads' are supposed to be like Topics here. But AFAICT most users just ignore them and respond directly to the most recent messages. On my team server we've dabbled with threads and found them useless. One thing that does baffle me, though, is that WG has filtered links to Devstrike.net from its streams. You'd think if they didn't want to support a forum, they at least wouldn't object to someone else doing so. The purpose here is to support WeeGee's game, after all. ** ** However subjective the concept of support is...

If they remove “devstrike” alone then it is a statement, isn’t it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iDuckman Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) No, I'm a VIP. I can post any link that's not filtered. Not sure about the word 'devstrike'. I just tried it. "devstrike" is not filtered. Edited December 23, 2023 by iDuckman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_cant_Swim_ Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 @iDuckmanGood to know. So WG wows actively filters out devstrike.net. You are sure of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugilistic Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I think they filter out links to devstrike.net unless posted in the thread that is about this forum. Otherwise I found that mentions are not filtered, but its been awhile since I have made any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_cant_Swim_ Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 @iDuckman thank you. Neither could i (post a link) but if you had the privilege to do so otherwise, then what they’re doing is unfair to their own community. And asking for a reaction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Could you tell us who thought it was a bad idea? Amazing that they think we are a threat to them. What a bunch of incompetent community managers... It could be leveraged in a whole bunch of positive ways...but no, some leader's ego is more important.

It's more likely that they have a filter to just strip out URL's, which would certainly make sense to avoid bot spamming. the URL (http://devstrike.net) is filtered, devstrike (the string of characters) is not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beleaf Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Think people are judging the WoWs Discord solely by general discussion, which yes, is kind of a circle jerk at times. The rest is okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is never an excuse for trolling or insults. It is completely possible to respond professionally even to absurd forum posts and positions. It is telling that WG refuses to actually police their own volunteers and actively engages in maintaining such a toxic community rule set. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3LUE Posted December 23, 2023 Author Share Posted December 23, 2023 I tried to get into a conversation they were having, but I was totally ignored and left. I went back a few hours later and got the same treatment. Another guy came in when I was there and brought up a problem he was having, and they treated him like garbage and told him he was just bad. I just found WG Discord to be rude and not a place I would want to go back to. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well depending on the problem maybe he was really just bad, that's just the honest truth to be honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
