Oh ok yeah I understand people's frustrations and maybe their slight jealously that certain people like content providers get the Alpha/Beta before the general public but there is a reason why they get them before we do and it is cos they disect it and they are some of the best people to let Sega/Sigames know about bugs etc. It is also good PR for Sega/Sigames and helps build interest and excitment for FM24. I don't understand the hate though. @doctorbenjy is a good bloke. He deserves a medal for putting up with Lollujo and WorkTheSpace during that network game stream 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise this thread will be removed, and this is coming from one of the few mods that really want it to stay open. Not trying to start an argument here but genuinely wondering.. Why would mods want the thread to be closed? I get that sometimes the odd comment oversteps the mark but surely that is just part of the modding, right? I can't understand why I moderator wouldn't want to moderate (providing the majority of the posts are above board - which they seem to mostly be to me anyway) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand why I moderator wouldn't want to moderate (providing the majority of the posts are above board - which they seem to mostly be to me anyway) Because this is really causing a strain on the mods, we've removed 3-4 pages of insults, swearing, bickering, and worse. This thread is genuinely fun, but it wouldn't be if we didn't remove all the bad stuff. I love this thread and I think it's awesome fun, but we mods do this on a voluntary and unpaid basis, and last night I spend the whole night making sure everyone else had fun in here. And really, if people can't control their actions, then we can't allow for leniency either. Also, I'm removing posts that continue the arguments and I will start to thread ban repeat offenders.

Shrewnaldo Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I often wonder if folk spend this much time IRL telling everyone about the stuff they don't like? Like, if they don't like pineapple on pizza, do they hang around Domino's or the frozen food aisle in Tesco waiting for someone to choose a Hawaiian, then wander over to let the other person know just how much they don't like pineapple on pizza. And if they disagree, follow them home explaining why they're so stupid and juvenile for doing so. And then the makers of Hawaiians hang around the freezer taking massive offence anytime someone happens to choose a different flavour and mention they don't happen to care for the pineapple. I really, really hope people do that In summary, folk should just unclench (and enjoy the beta when it's out on Monday 🎣) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are more analytical, some are more comedic... that's part of the appeal for me.
