Way to shitpost, "senior moderator".
Yes, it does censor people. And yes, it's a problem. Want some proof? This thread.
I've already voiced my opinion on this matter. Treating people who pay for your games like children is a really silly thing to do. I guess the way the filter is implemented is somewhat amusing, but it still doesn't justify blatant censorship.
This thread is proof of nothing other than people insisting on running in circles, in my opinion.
W-what? The fact that this thread is here and there are opinions from both sides IS proof that this is an issue. A "mod" who comes and says "it's not a problem because I said so" doesn't make it any less of an issue.
This is a forum, and you should probably expect input that doesn't follow your world view and not get defensive whenever someone doesn't agree. Calling another opinion a "shitpost" isn't the best way to further your argument.
Also, me being a Senior Moderator doesn't mean I can't express my opinion on this "problem". My opinion being that it absolutely doesn't matter. If I was taking the "it's not a problem because I said so" approach, I would have closed the thread.
Now, if you want to argue about my opinion that's fine - but don't try and de-rail the thread.
