+1. I was literally going to write this.Not gonna lie, I'm glad MostBlunted is gone. His toxicity, while amusing at first, got rather boring pretty quickly. Some of his criticism was very much legitimate and warranted, but a lot of his posting was not, and only worked to further inflame threads and make the forum more negative than it needed to be.
This is all very good, but banning MostBlunted isn't making the devs answer our 1827368392 threads about NPCs being boring and dull, and the world being as alive as a lettuce. At least Most Blunted filled the forums with very spiteful comments and made the forums a fun place to be! Terco Viejo isn't coming around a lot anymore lately with his very funny images, now we must rely on what? Lucius can't make enough glorifying Bannerlord threads for us to argue inGauging the community's feelings, yup. With a poll. Y'know, I like statistics. Not just quirky and interesting facts or oddball applications of stats like sabermetrics (pardon the pun), but the mathematical theory of it, methodology, and interpretation of data. One of the things you learn about early on when studying statistical methods is sampling bias. There's a quote I always get a chuckle out of regarding sampling bias, and it goes something like "survey responses are all biased because they only come from people willing to complete surveys." It's said like a joke, but it's not wrong, either, especially when it comes to controversial or emotionally-charged issues. People who feel strongly about something are usually more willing to put themselves out there, while those who aren't as invested are less likely to participate in the survey. I think you get where I'm going with this, so we're not gonna beat that dead horse anymore.
Let's move on to the interpretation part of statistics. Identifying and measuring trends in data is the core of applying statistics, because that is how you generate knowledge which can inform future decisions. If you can't do that with statistics, then you're not really accomplishing anything with your data. As an exercise, I'm going to show you the data I have and you can tell me if there are any identifiable trends in it. Here you go:
We're all on the same page now, with the pertinent information right in front of us. We're just here to gauge the community's feelings and not to try steering moderation policy through populism, right? So, I'm curious how the community feels about the information I have provided, and if they think that perhaps we were too lenient in this case.
The only good take in the whole thread.If the guy got banned it means he was a weak troll. Bend the rules don't break them!
Mostblunted helped keep the forum alive, if he's really banned then it should be lifted ASAP
i got the impression he had real love for the franchise. a hardcore fanMost Blunted, was exactly like what was in his name, blunt and actively breaking forum rules.
If keeping the forum alive meant to consistently troll and flame, then I'd rather have a dead forum. Pretty sure I warned him a few times back when I was mod
Must have missed him, but he's got warnings from more than a few mods in there. He even managed to get one from Reus.Pretty sure I warned him a few times back when I was mod
Now that's saying something.He even managed to get one from Reus
Well then I suppose it's a good thing that that's not the goal of banning someone from the forum now isn't it.This is all very good, but banning MostBlunted isn't making the devs answer our 1827368392 threads about NPCs being boring and dull, and the world being as alive as a lettuce.
If the guy got banned it means he was a weak troll. Bend the rules don't break them!
most recruits need blunted swords as wellI think recruits (empire at least) should have shields.
The man with the most blunted sword is the most dangerous one.most recruits need blunted swords as well
If he did enough to get bannedI put this here because it is related to the release of Bannerlord and this was his place, kinda.
I thought I'd be the last person to wish him back. I feel like a hero without a villain.
So, do we unban MostBlunted one month after release of Bannerlord?
@MostBlunted
If he did enough to get banned
he should stay banned
