Forum seems overmoderated

I've recently came back to the game and find most topics and replies under some kind of pending moderation, or closed. Including a thread that's designed exclusively to consolidate "rants and vents".

This isn't conducive to a healthy community. Most of us aren't children. Moderation should be a last resort, what is the point of stultifying a community like this? Let it breathe.

Yeah , so " where's the update" "They took the money and ran ..." blah blah blah , it's tired and boring.

You got what you paid for. Like it or don't.

Post constructive criticism in the appropriate place or move along.

Baseless accusation has no home here.

Except this game had a roadmap of content laid out. Maybe you weren't around back then, but it existed and when you release an EA game you need to deliver or else you can land in hot water with valve. It's not like they DON'T have the funding, they sold 10 million copies... so that leaves us wondering, huh, where's the complete version promised?

They have a weird moderation methodology. Lots of merging and collation. I assume it serves them better somehow to do things this way. So, fine.

Check out the Black Mesa Steam forum some time. That is the most heavily moderated game forum I've been a part of since the devs expanded its community moderator team.

They also turned off comments on their community updates because they can't handle criticism. Very immature devs.

Valve anti spam bot was having issues. Seems to be fixed now.

That's Valve spam bot and not the developers, you should apologize to the developers.
