Deleted Posts??

So I posted an honest and open critique of the game and my experiences as of late and it seems those posts have suddenly disappeared into the void of port servers?

Here is the link to my original post.

What is happening here? Why have my posts been deleted?

 

That's really weird. I hope you get an answer...

 

Could a DEV please PM me. If this happened I would like to discuss a proper exit and a possible refund to my initial support of your project.

 

support@portalarium.com is the proper avenue for this.

 

I believe your post was in the R21 Feedback forum. Everything in that forum is archived (available to Devs but not players) when the new release forum is opened. I don't believe anything was deleted; your voice was still heard.

If your post is moderated, you will be notified. @FireLotus has also said in the past that even those posts are not deleted, only marked internal for the dev team.

 

Thank you, Sir Frank

 

I surely hope that is the case, Browncoat. I don't want to feel this is a censored community, so I sure hope what you say is right.

Thanks for your help

 

He's pretty much spot on. If you posted in the release feedback forum you'll see all the previous releases aren't displayed. Devs have gone on record stating nothing is deleted, only hidden and if a post is ever moderated in any way you should get a notice.

 

Have not gotten a notice, Bowen. I just sent a PM to lotus for help.

 

Please relax. What everyone is trying to tell you is true. Note that the ENTIRE section is archived not just your post so not sure why you are refusing to believe anyone

 

Just for future reference, if you see something you don't understand, when you send a ticket to support, it creates a task with a tracking number, and you will get an answer. A Dev might eventually see this thread, but it's faster to use support. In this case, I think Browncoat probably has the right answer.

And please keep in mind that a veiled threat like this can get you moderated. It certainly doesn't endear you to the people you want answers from.

 

You only get a post if a moderator deletes your post for breaking forum rules.

The entire R21 subforum was just archived. This happens every release.

And the best way to get developer attention honestly seems to be posting in the release specific bug forums on the day of release. If you post near the end of a release cycle, there tend to be fewer devs online reading those bug and feedback subforums.

 

So... I'm going to stick this here...



On a more serious note... this forum is the exact opposite of censorship ... they are tolerant to a fault of creating a neutral feedback environment for everyone... even if people find a way within the rules to be overly unfounded and biased against other players about topics... players, features, developers, and the game itself are all held to a neutral form of moderation. If you act within "virtue" then you're good. The forum rules are the only thing you need to worry about.

As long as you don't go all out attack mode or harass a player you're going to find it hard to get moderated here. (I totally got moderated for defending a friend against another player... so aggressive defense is grounds for moderation too). Feel free to post all your feedback. Their ability to listen and support the players is second to none. They are a rock solid team that appreciates your time you took to write your feedback, good or bad.

So, as my image suggests... eat some bacon to feel better

 

As stated earlier by our forum regulars, previous release forums are archived for the developers once a new release is out to keep the forums from getting cluttered with potentially confusing outdated information. Considering that this is our 22nd release (not to mention how much the game has grown since release 1), this is the best way to keep the relevant information easy for our backers to access. The older forums can still be accessed if you have the direct link and are simply tucked away in a Developer only area so we can continue to access the information if needed (as shown in this screenshot). Since the OP's question was addressed, I will go ahead and lock this thread.
