Here's the problem. Many people come here to talk about the fun times they're having in TS4, yet when you look at the board, more than half of the threads are complaint threads. IT'S TOO MUCH. It ruins the collective mood for everyone else.

If people want to complain, that's fine...but can't we limit it to just a handful of threads instead of filling the board with them?

@Nate_Whiplash1 Well there might be a reason why they exist. Don't you think?

The reasons are immaterial, what is important is that 1) there are too many of these threads, and they clog up the board (they need to be condensed) and 2) as someone else on the forums already pointed out, there is a place for these threads (the feedback forums)

@Nate_Whiplash1 looks like the mods disagree with you 'cause they don't seem to mind.

But are the mods the end-all be-all? The last time I checked, this forum was designed for player participation, not mod participation. I'm doubling down on my statement that excessive negative threads detract from the overall environment of these general discussion forums, and I'm far from being the only one that thinks so.

Some might say "well if you don't like a thread, don't click on it", but let me use an analogy. Let's say there was a 5 star restaurant with great reviews in town, but it was in the worst part of town, with crime and blight everywhere--how many people would still want to go?

And how many people (especially newcomers) will want to participate here long-term when there is so much negativity everywhere? It's creating a bad neighborhood.

@Nate_Whiplash1 Well yeah but when you are saying and I quote "there is a place for these threads (the feedback forums)" like it's some kind of a rule people are not following then this is where the mods come in.
Just say I don't agree with the threads being in the General discussion and that's fine, since you don't run this forum personally. If something is posted somewhere, where it "doesn't belong" it will get moved over don't worry about that.

Not necessarily. We're talking about 2 completely different things here. You're talking about what does/doesn't violate forum rules, and I'm talking about what many people feel would be best for the forums. And I'll say once again that I'm not the only one that thinks so, there are many here that share this viewpoint.

I feel like the mods should do more to relocate posts to the appropriate categories.

@Nate_Whiplash1 Many people including who? This is the first time I hear this.

Maybe you want to post that in the feedback section then. It is feedback for the mods. So practice what you preach.

You obviously aren't reading the posts in the threads, because there have been quite a few people put off by the negativity. I'm not going to single anyone out, but it's not at all hard to find.

And my "feedback" is just as much for the people that post on THIS forum, in the hopes that some of them will post in the correct forums. I've made my points, I'm done with this discussion.
