Yes, definitely. It's one thing to give constructive and helpful criticism with suggestions on how to improve something. It's entirely another to obsess over things you hate and rant and rave at anyone and everyone about it. It astounds me that there are still people who don't understand the difference.
But this is why I much prefer the Forums. It's more heavily moderated here, you can report troublemakers, and choose which threads to be (or not be) part of.
The article does touch on something important, though. The devs use Twitter to open up an avenue of communication with their player base, and since they've been more active on there, we get more information than we used to. But more and more Gurus are falling back into the background and going silent again, most likely because of the people who don't seem to be able to control themselves and their attitudes. I just hope that we can keep the Forums civil enough for them to consider more activity over here.
I thought the forums were bad but Twitter is on a new level of negative crazy ??
This is something I definitely noticed. When I first joined Twitter to keep up with the simgurus they were posting way more. Simguruninja in particular would retweet cool sim stuff he found and was always sharing or tweeting something. Now it's barely anything from any of them except strict pack promotion. The occasional dog or food pic and I don't blame them one bit. I think it's to the point where they don't even want to interact with simmers. ?
