Don't know it it's permanent or what the details are. I'll say that I have found Krice to be an acquired taste, with actual input on the topic of RLs, even if his wording is a bitch a lot of the time, and I personally almost always disagree with him (and have admittedly myself been a bitch about that on occasion). Having said that, there are numerous examples over the years where he stepped way over the line with regards to blatant racism and sexism/homophobia (etc., but those two in particular). So I think I can grok that there is a rationale behind the ban.Could a bunch of the OGs (e.g. minotaur, getter, darren, vanguard, z, corremn, krice, myself etc) (nah maybe not krice) be enabled to delete posts so we cut spam as soon as we notice it?Regarding that, I'm mostly lurking these days, but would be willing to join a task force like that, and make to sure to visit more frequently, if we had well defined rules to go by (strictly to ban bots/spam, include safety valves like an option for banned users to challenge the decision, etc). That said, it seems to me that getter is already doing a tremendous amount of work to keep most parts of the forums clean from spam bots. But the off topic section is a pretty sad sight overall these days, and I've also seen a few perfectly sensible threads getting derailed by bots.
According to Berlin interpretation, Teemu has 7/9 of "high value factors" as roguelike which I find hilarious. In my opinion the current release version of Teemu is a roguelike-style adventure game.In defense of the Berlin int , I think it works better when applied in good faith rather than to prove the roguelikeness of eg. Minesweeper. Thus the definition text states that factors like exploration and permadeath (in the RL sense) relies on random generation to work. I haven't played the latest version of Teemu, though, so can't say anything about that.
Pseudo-arguments like that […] it's even difficult to understand why someone would force it in here.
I remember someone here threatening to leave if roguelites were not excluded from the site.That's really not what I was talking about, but since you mention it, the user you're thinking about would probably be Krice, who has been whining about this for years. I'm personally fine with that; what I find distressing is the fact that blatantly racist and sexist comments (from several users) have been met with no other consequence than the occasional pushback from other users. I'd love to live in a world where we could be welcoming of everyone, including bigots, but I'm afraid reality simply doesn't work that way.
What was your roguelike project again? I can't remember everyone, but I think you were not even a game developer yourself. So you got pretty large mouth in that sense.
Saying something is "toxic" means nothingIt actually does, though, even if the term is clicheed and not seldomly misused (I'll grant you that). You're making the same mistake that many other, less than averagely gifted nerds have made before you, namely to assume that anything that falls outside your scope of comprehension is either stupid or meaningless.
I certainly won't dictate how this place should be moderated, and personally somewhat like the fact that temple threads are allowed to go their natural course. I also get that you're half joking a lot of the time, but I can't blame people who feel they've better things to do with their time than getting randomly trolled online.People want a consensus and are threatening to leave if they don't get it.
