Bob_Lawblaw 0 Posted April 21, 2014 Is it against Forum Rules to Criticize DayZ and the Moderating team of this forum? Of course slander and just general rudeness is, but I've seen many threads with Valid and constructive Criticism being locked and the OP being either blasted with negativity or just straight up banned.

Zarniwoop 1193 Posted April 21, 2014 It's not what they say, it's how they go about doing so. (Rants/flame-wars/baseless accusations to induce the former) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
real meatshield 424 Posted April 21, 2014 Well isnt this interesting? Someone bashing the devs and mods gets banned, and then a new account is created shortly thereafter asking about bashing the devs and mods. Curious how long this'll last, haha. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murlough 192 Posted April 21, 2014 I would think constructive criticism goes in the "suggestions" area but i could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anothercynicalbrit 166 Posted April 21, 2014 As zarniwoop says if your an ass about it then yes it will be locked and moved, if you think being critical will get you banned then you should check out my profile as it proves that is not the case, i have been rude about the game and about the moderators and they have not banned me or warned me because i was smart about it and i did not cross the line, just because this is the internet it does not mean you can do whatever you like. The best way to avoid getting banned is to imagine you are standing face to face with that/those people and see if you would really say the same stuff. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob_Lawblaw 0 Posted April 21, 2014 I'm sure some of the people reading this thread know which topic brought my original question on, I'm not going to quote the topic or talk about specifics but I read the thread and nothing was crossing the line or over the top it was just straight up information and criticism.

Murlough 192 Posted April 21, 2014 It doesnt matter how long it has been up for, it has not been in use until now. And while that may be true id suggest letting the moderators handle it instead of getting angry yourself. If he really is just complaining about himself getting banned or whatever then it will simply happen again. No sense in acnowledging(no way i spelled that right :P) him.
