Removing Topics

Recommended Posts

Recently there was a topic with the beginnings of a discussion around monetizing Unlimited servers, now hidden or deleted. Fair enough; it'd be odd if the legalese somewhere didn't give Code Club to do whatever they like with content we write up and post.

What might be nice—given that a higher than usual percentage of topics on Unlimited are likely to be controversial or contain subjects Code Club would rather not be seen by anyone—is a short sticky post describing forbidden areas and a perhaps any process administrators run through before deleting such topics. For example: please don't discuss financial topics Code Club has not already described in an official post. 

For what it's worth, I prefer the approach of a quick post by a forum administrator noting why a given topic is unacceptable accompanied by a topic lock.

Instead of posting something saying "Don't take about X"


 


Why not have them post some actual information so people aren't speculating about topics that may or may not be considered 'against the rules'?

Because of the balancing act shops have to go through: "do we wait until we know everything before we announce anything and get a backlash for announcing late or do we announce early and get a backlash for not explaining everything." If we players get a little information about forbidden subject matter, then information can be announced incrementally and consumers aren't given a false impression that some subjects are not being discussed at all by other consumers nor will they waste time writing and posting only to have their words deleted.

The content had nothing to do with its removal, but the user posting it.


Feel free to repost it if you wish.
