How many threads have the admins deleted because of their anti-three rings content? How many players have created threads righteously complaining about ridiculous energy updates, only to find it deleted the next day? Surely you've noticed this happening. It's becoming increasingly widespread as people start realizing the issues caused by the recent updates. Do you really want to invest in a company which upholds the suppression of free speech and generally cracking down on the opposition?

Admins: I dare you to delete this thread. Go on, do it. Give us more reasons to be against you.

Isn't this a bit harsh? My threads explain the update in detail and why it is bad and what can be done to improve it and they don't delete mine.

They delete the posts because

They delete the posts because they're stupid and don't provide any logical or remotely helpful information and also want to condense any opinions in one thread for ease of reading rather than have it spread out over hundreds threads that comprise 90% of RapBreon and GodofSkype arguing with people over useless ####.

I purposely didn't use any punctuation because I wanted to see if people stopped breathing during reading like I do because sometimes I have to remember to breath when reading run on sentences which I find kind of funny but it could be considered dangerous PS you are now aware of your breathing.

Edit: Language.

That last thing was awesome,

That last thing was awesome, although my mind edited in the period. But you were right I was aware I was breathing!

That doesn't matter. The

That doesn't matter. The admins can lock posts, and send them to the graveyard. They should not censor posts and threads as they see fit.

I lol'd at the breathing thing. It never seems to work on me though.

Shoebox, master of mentality.

They can do whatever they like.
They are their forums, they can remove and edit whatever they want.
There's no law against it.

You can whinge and ##### all you like but in three days time nobody will care your "contributions" got deleted.
Except maybe you, if you're still butthurt about it.

Edit: Language.

Really? Maybe I'm up to

Really? Maybe I'm up to unrealistic standards, but it seems like no other forum I've been in had admins who were willing to interfere in the posts so much. I'm saying that they should step out.

Incredibly, you missed the point of my post entirely. My argument was not about why are they doing it, but should we take it.

"They can do whatever they like." Missed the point...
"They are their forums, they can remove and edit whatever they want." Again, you missed the point. Are you drunk?
"There's no law against it." As if we did not know that. There's also no law prohibiting objections to said issues, if you're into that.
"You can whinge and ##### all you like but in three days time nobody will care your "contributions" got deleted." Sigh... have you graduated grade school yet? In any case, you have not left with the skill of reading comprehension. I implore you to read my first post.
"Except maybe you, if you're still butthurt about it." Hilarious, you resort to words with disgusting imagery and negative connotations in order to prove your point. Almost made me laugh, but I was too disappointed at the quality of your post to do so.

Please do not post off topic posts like this any more.

Edit: language.

What point did I miss

What point did I miss Einstein?

I don't have a PHD in mind reading, what I inferred from your post is that you want people to revolt against Three Rings for deleting pointless #### from their forums, which Eurydice (the COMMUNITY MANAGER) explained all about already.

If you don't like having your posts deleted and locked, don't post here anymore.
No skin off my back if there are less threads to sift through.

Going to stop now. Spiral

Going to stop now. Spiral Knights is killing my productivity and I have a bit of studying left for the finals next week.

Post Script: I don't want to call for mass rebellion. Magnus did a pretty good job of that already. I'm just bringing this to the attention to anybody who does not know it. Some people don't enjoy sifting through threads to find the useful info, and I thought that people should be aware of the Admin's unusual deleting habits. Seriously, they don't even put a [post deleted for xxxxxxxx]. The posts and whatnot are just gone; taken out by the Three Rings gestapo or something.

END THREAD

You know Shoebox you are doing a lot of excessive cussing and such, as are many of the other players. Where is your ban?

It is our policy not to delete threads. All it does is freak people out. Should you find one missing, check the Graveyard.

How come you don't play? How long have you not played? It sucks to be banned, at least for me, I can't talk to my friends.

I haven't played since...

I haven't played since... Before the start of May.

I don't play because:

A. My computer is no longer capable of running Spiral Knights anymore, after playing the beta just fine.

and

B. The game is almost exactly the same as it was 3 months ago.

Also most of my friends in game have quit or taken a break for the same reason, so we just talk on MSN.
I'm not missing out on anything.

I made friends, I wasn't in the preview, and they keep me coming back to the game. AS for endgame once I beat vana I'm pretty much done with like the content wall. Idk I really enjoy conversing with my guildies and friends.

Well considering that they own these forums they can do whatever they wish. Its not necessary to have forums its a privilege they provide to their players. If you do hate the rules and regulations on these forums you can easily make your own Spiral Knights Forums. =)
