Sarmon Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I just recently posted a thread which was DELETED in under a minute. The thread was in General Discussion and it was simply saying that DE should move their update days from wednesdays to thursdays due to the recent delays. I wasn't mad at the delays or even saying that they were a bad thing. To me, this seemed like a reasonable thread. Suddenly my thread is deleted without any given reason. No clue who deleted it or why. I'd at least like to know why. I don't really care who. Edit: This thread is about the deletion of threads and not about moving update days. If my deleted thread goes back up, go discuss it there. Edited January 7, 2015 by Sarmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noabettiet Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I concur. It feels a bit too brutal to just remove something without a heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiabolusUrsus Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I don't understand why that topic would qualify for instant deletion (perhaps there were a ton of identical threads; did you check beforehand?). That said, there's not much point to moving the "update" days to Thursdays. Not every update will be delayed. If the "on-schedule" day is moved, then that just means that delays will start ending up on Fridays instead. Delays happen. Simply moving the official day on which things are expected isn't going to change that. Next thing you know, people will be saying "just move it to Friday," when delays start moving things to Friday with a degree of frequency.Next thing you know, we're right back to having updates released on Fridays, when the whole reason they were moved to Wednesdays (if I recall correctly) was that gave DE a couple of days to respond to the immediately relevant bugs and fixes that each update mandates before the weekend.

Pretty much this. DE has always believed in getting new content into our hands the moment that it's finished. Unless this practice is compromised, and they instead sit on finished content, there will always be unexpected delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adaptor-Face Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) thats like kids saying they will do the homework tomorrow. setting early deadlines (Wednesday) can cause DE to work THAT LITTLE BIT HARDER that is required to finish the content on time I would say it was off-topic and not GD, also a bit rude, as you are implying that DE never meets their deadlines EDIT: this is also Off-topic IMO, as it is just us talking and questioning about why a topic got deleted, not actual feedback Edited January 7, 2015 by Adaptor-Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarmon Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 People assumed I broke the rules, and I basically replied to them. Also I never said anything that would imply DE never meets their deadlines. Me saying "recent delays" removes implicaton of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)jwernecke Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I vote use common sense. If the thread has no constructive value, is flaming, or leads to flaming it gets closed. Pretty straight forward I think. If that fails then read to rules. I've gotten pretty heated on here and got involved in some pretty intense threads but ive never been deleted or even locked.

-Himari- Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 If there is ever an issue with moderation then you should either PM an administrator or a moderator and ask what had happened. Anyone will gladly try and find the answer to the issue at hand. Locking thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
