Forum Moderation needs improving

The current moderation will allow any insult or mockery as long as its not directed at the individual via 'you'. If its implied or its presented in a hypothetical scenario it's OK. While exact same reply but in a direct form will be flagged as 'inflammatory'.

Here are some examples:

Remove the running, please.

Oh, another great take! What smarts!

Both comments are a mockery, both are indirect, so they are up. Meanwhile I posted 'aren't your smart?' few days ago, and it was removed and received a warning, all because it was direct.

Moreover we see vulgarity treated in the same manner:

And yet you spent thousands of dollars on the game?

PoE 1 would of have died many years ago without trading. It would be like grim yawn and whatever other garbage arpgs people pretend to like lol.

And
>nobody likes trading
Thats why SSF is most of the playerbase in PoE 1 huh? Definetely not like less than 1%.

Do you always speak out of your arse or is it a skill you retain for special occasions?

edit: actually i don't know why this one is up since it is a direct question... with a 'you', syntax error due to 'arse'?

Most gamer communities are filled with toxic pieces of shit. This forum is no different. In fact, you're more likely to find them here than in any other place because this is where people converge to debate and argue with each other.

It's a magical place full of terrible people with low IQ arguments.

Please do something about this.

Yeah it's terrible, I'd guess that every available forum moderator is currently helping out trying to clear out the support backlog and the forums have been forgotten about.

see, I think its due to their internal SOP. There is no lack of forum mods here as they remove my posts and people I talk to within a minute, most of those posts getting removed are not even bothersome, but they are removed due to some weird technicality. If anything i think they have too much time on their hands, just look at this crafty moderation showcase:

[Removed by Support] completely transmogrified the POE franchise with this Dark Souls bullshit?

If I was cognisant of this turn for the worse, I would never had wasted money investing in poe2?

[Removed by Support]

I literally detest this game direction, [Removed by Support]

keep in mind this account was never put on probation, and even a new person without ever reading ToS would know making posts like this is against the rules.
