Beware, POE1 subreddit is banning for negative opinions

First, my reply to sirgog was shadowbanned this morning (message appeared to me) but when I logged off it showed as deleted.

So I decided to make a post about the shadow ban with screenshots and well, got banned for 14 days for being too negative about the game, some of my comments were cherry picked, nothing offensive, some jokes and nothing that haven't been said many times before there or here.

In other words, if you wondering why there are no pitchforks on POE1 sub this time around, thats why, mods doing everything to steer the narrative, and keep criticism to minimum.

No way dude, I would never know that.

shame they can't put that level of attention into controlling the sheer number of low-effort posts about lucky drops.

Call me naive, but once I experienced it firsthand, it really hits hard.

It actually turned out that my reply to sirgog was shadowbanned because I called up sirgog's argument about async trade being responsible for low drops a bullshit.

I won't call you anything, not everyone knows how things are. There is reason that so many people call reddit cesspool.

What's funny about the difference of subreddit and here is that any time I publish an idea on subreddit I usually met with a lot of negativity or even hate with their supposed moderation.

They didn't even let me post a question about how many people wish div cards were global drop not like they are now.

On the other hand, here feels much more normal than there.
How there can be any negative opinions on a great game?
Can't please them all, i suppose
in reddit seems like they are playing the new update Keepers of the Flamers.
I like standard.
I dont need reddit to tell me how unrewarding the league is and how poor the game performance is this patch anyway as usual my opinions are based on my own experience and nobody else.

But returning after settlers seems this game has 100% taken a big hit on dev decisions that make an ARPG an ARPG. Let alone on the game performance as well

If anything this should clear up where the money is going to because again it's not going to poe1 I tell you that much at least you can see it on the lack of atention and how things were barely tested

Poe 0.2/10

Returning to poe in 3.27: ATROCIOUS game performance, 5/10 league and I apprently missed the loot back in the last league. The more things change the more they stay the same..

They did this to me, too, when they perma-banned me well over a year ago.

They cherry picked a random comment from >6 months prior that I already got a temp 1 day ban for (well deserved, I admit). Then they added some recent discourse that got a little "heated" but wasn't offensive and hit me with a perma-ban. Power-tripping mods even sent me smileys and basically laughed in my face when they banned me. They can shove it. Now I mostly only check hot topics.
