Does TW fear us?
Why would they?Does TW fear us?
too many people mind blown by just the bot v bot fighting to actually be critical about the rest of the gameThey are not happy that their forum shows their game in a poor light. They have a couple of people here that try to put down some of the fires, but they know they can't please the mob with what they've done, so most of them don't visit the forum at all (although Armagan secretly comes here every few weeks to see for himself).
What they really fear is a Metacritic rating worse than 80 on release.
might not be out in timeYes, they fear we'll tell our grand children not to buy mount and blade 3 and ruin it's sales.
With the exceptions of a few individuals, TaleWorlds employees can't actually perform moderator actions on the forum. Aside from Armagan and the two community managers, they're also restricted to specific areas of the forum (like tech support). I can also tell you from looking at the mod log that other than in tech support, they do practically nothing moderation-related on the forum as a whole. In tech support, it's exclusively moving/tagging/resolving threads.Why would they?
If we say anything particularly spicy, they can delete it. If we try to organize actual collective action against them, it is their forum and they can just stop hosting it. Probably 99% of the people playing aren't reading it, same story for potential buyers.

If your posts are getting deleted, it's because a volunteer mod has decided they're against the forum rules. We're held accountable by the community and the community managers, but we've never been told to delete things which are critical of the game or the company. There's a thread that's over 30 pages long essentially calling the entire game a scam, which has been regularly posted in for nearly 2 months, and there's no pressure on the mod team to shut it down. We actually prefer having it open, because it helps to keep claims like that from derailing other threads.
