In the situation you are speaking about, I did personally send private messages with warnings to be respectful, and I deleted posts that I felt were out of line. There's no favoritism, as we mods try to keep the peace, but we generally let things go if we think that people are bringing up valid points. Which is why a lot of those posts remained, and which is why no moderator here will delete posts or send warnings just because people are asking for release dates or screenshots.
The only reason why your thread and other threads about release dates were closed was because there was already a thread talking about release dates, and we close threads that are repeats in order to make the forums a little more orderly (or move the posts to another thread if we're able, which is unfortunately more restricted on the new forums than on the old at the moment).
Let me just make sure. I have this crystal clear. During the situation which went on for WEEKS, people were allowed to voice in intense debate… more against the site creator. (One of those people. I believe was you. As you call new users a word..I won't repeat here) a skin even you voiced frustration with.
Now that you got that our your system, and everyone else. (A small minority group) now anytime a new subject arises. You are quickly going to ban and dismantle that. Why is it, you and your friends were allowed to voice frustrations for weeks. Against something, that you supported.
i.e. not liking the new skin.
However the next new subject, may not something you don't agree Is it by pure chance, the next subject you may not agree with the people, so it may be easier to delete their posts and censor them. (i.e. you just siding with arguments you agree with and censoring the rest. i.e. people who ask about release dates)
But it wasn't okay … [view original content]
That asking about release date is not a crime in itself. There seems to be intense negative attitudes anytime, someone asks about release date. Look at the guy ahead of me in posts. He simply asks for release date and gets everything but the kitchen sink thrown at him.
To the point where he ceased writing. I hope mods would look into these situations, to make sure no cyber bullying i.e. harassment. There is a negative habit, people need to break. We are allowed to ask for release dates.
Just because the core community, doesn't agree. Doesn't make it an official rule. All too often. I see people ask about these (as annoying as these can be its not against the rules) just to get run over in insults, even the creation of this thread (aimed at blasting those who complain)
actually in my opinion. This thread isn't even needed. It just puts people who have a valid question (complainers) against those who would wait years before asking for it. I understand there is frusation yet the rights of newcomers should be protected as well as the old.
No.
It doesn't matter if we like a subject or not, we don't do anything to it unless it breaks the rules.
We don't censor people unless … morethey have done something wrong - for example, if someone says they've pirated The Wolf Among Us, we would ban them and delete the post where they said it.
That is as far as it goes. We would never censor someone just because we personally disagree with what they say. EVER.
What you refer to as a skin is actually a new site, just so you know. And I'm not going into the details about the new site. Not again.
lets all just calm down here ok? no matter what no one can change what they did. looking at the past and blaming people for it is a bit unfair because no one can ever change it. at most one can try and create a better future and learn from past mistakes. thats human nature. but to always blame someone for what they did even when there trying to make themselves a better person is in and of itself cruel. so lets just mark this here.
lets everyone try to learn from their mistakes and become better people and not bring up the past. because no matter how hard you try the past can never be changed. only a better future can be created.

Thank you Jennifer for clearly outlining my problems and explaining it to me. Of course. I disagree with some things about new site, (i.e. thumbs down option) however I won't go to extreme rudeness in order to get it across. I understand some of them were valid.
I am humbled, by being reminded that no mods will send warnings or delete posts just because of release dates. It certainty feels like that at times with the way the community reacts. I arrived here for the walking dead. Yet stayed for wolf among us.
And season two of the walking dead. People act as if asking for a release date is new. It's only logical when given zero information and told it will be out "around this month" I think now, I understand and I respect the choices behind those.

I'm calm. I'm returning to one of the other threads. My hope if the wolf among us or season 2 isn't finished. That watching walking dead on TV, will inspire them to new solid ideas. If they watched entire season and waited till after that. I wouldn't raise complaint.

To my knowledge, it's not the "asking for a release date" that bothers people as much as it is the extremely vocal and impatient minority which unfortunately makes the greater community look bad. Any assumption that Walking Dead Season 2 comes out later rather than soon gets you labeled as a Wolf Among Us fanboy or a jerk who hates the game and wants to rain on the parade for others, no matter how good the reasoning is for your guess. (Oh, and you get "thumbs down" into oblivion as well.)
I wish both groups would get along, or at least agree to disagree. I've tried to explain why expecting the game in mid or late November rather than late October/Early November would just get hopes crushed, but it seems to me that they just accuse people who try to help them as starting a fan base war which gets rather grating after a while.
I know exactly how you feel. It's the core group community. That act as if they score brownie points, by shooing away anyone even asking for a… more release date "Asking for a release date, How dare you" I believe I even made a thread devoted the wolf among us, release date.
Then it was locked by a mod. How predictable. The community core group, same people who insult the staff, (along with some of the mods) for weeks straight about the skin, directly flaming tell team members. Are usually first one to insult others "saying no ..wait" this self righteous attitude.
It's not difficult. Tell Tale should ever pin point a month, release a trailer or stop making awful predictions. The thing is, people will complain. The core needs to accept this. If its not us, then next month, new people sign up or eight months from now. You cannot just keep making new users experience not nice and experience positive growth results.
I also wanted the season 2 to come sooner but once TWAU was released I completely loved it and realized that Telltale is doing an amazing job with their games,and they are very talented.After the great success of TWD season 1,they could've released immediately after the season 2 with boring scenario and gameplay just to take advantage of the attention that it got.But instead they decided to take their time to come up with a great game.Anyway,right now I am more excited to get TWAU episode 2 than the season 2 of TWD because I really loved it!
They never said "October" for a release date, they said that was when we would get news. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. On the bright side though, October is almost over and the wait will surely be worth it.
Complaining about people complaining..is just more complaining.
No matter how many threads you make. People will always complain, some beca… moreuse they bought last season or another game from here. What I think might help, if Tell Tale projected some release date, at all. Last I heard they said some time Oct, leaving some to believe. It's going be next Thursday.
What if it's not, tell tale needs come to the table and inform those, they are working on it and it will be there..."soon"
I don't see what the problem is. I bought S1 in September last year and i'm still surprised we are getting it early to mid November. That's insane. Remember when it was on track for a Summer release? I'm sure at least the 24th-31st or earlier we will get some news.
I've been on these forums since June 2012...I couldn't care less when S2 comes out. I'd rather have TT take their time in crafting the story of S2 before they rush it out on the 'presumed' window date of Fall 2013.

I enjoyed reading this conversation. It's refreshing to see such passion from folks.
Honestly I believe as long as folks act with in the forum rules it really does not matter if they voice a complaint or praise. Some folks think one thing others think another and there is nothing wrong with either.
Personally I was not a huge fan of 400 days. The DLC was nice but I would have rather has TWD S2 be releases months earlier and has TTG skip 400 days.

That about sums it up... @master psychic

Besides, I already have TWAU to play.
