Putting a question on hold is usually a temporary thing and easily remedied. The result is better questions, better answers, and a better site, which I believe attracts more people than the brief sads send away (unprovable, of course). | |
| Jun 28, 2017 at 20:24 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | @nitsua60 yeah, it being deleted, and part of the back and forth with that user in Meta being in my memory, makes that a bit of a reach but I think it captures some of the point. | |
| Jun 28, 2017 at 20:23 | comment | added | nitsua60 Mod | @KorvinStarmast thanks for the pointer. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have spotted that post on my own, flash-in-the-pan as it was. | |
| Jun 28, 2017 at 18:18 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | @nitsua60 Protonflux put it pretty clearly here | |
| Jun 28, 2017 at 3:29 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | @nitsua60 No, latent hostility that is casual and almost un noticed via tone, of an in group to new comers. Nothing overt. The ins have already figured out the norms. I remarked on it more than once here after I arrived, usually in comments on a meta. | |
| Jun 28, 2017 at 0:24 | comment | added | nitsua60 Mod | @KorvinStarmast are you talking about overt hostility? If so, I think that calls for some flagging or at least a dedicated meta. | |
| Jun 27, 2017 at 23:48 | comment | added | nitsua60 Mod | @Segfault can I also ask if there are other RPG sites where you regularly participate, to which you're comparing this one? Or are you feeling that there's too much moderation in a vacuum? (If you're comparing us to someone else in your mind, I think that'd be good to share in the post.) | |
| Jun 27, 2017 at 23:19 | comment | added | Segfault | @nitsua60 yes, indeed. | |
| Jun 27, 2017 at 23:17 | comment | added | nitsua60 Mod | @Segfault so would it be fair to say you're reporting experience that you think is likely to drive down new user satisfaction, retention, conversion, &c.? (And almost/sorta did in your case?) | |
| Jun 27, 2017 at 22:02 | comment | added | Segfault | @nitsua60 specific problem? I'm not sure, just trying to share my experience. When I encountered this, I closed the browser tab and navigated away from the site in irritation, instead of browsing for another 10-15 minutes like I normally would. I almost decided to just disengage from the site altogether, but decided to post this instead. What can actually be done about it? I don't know... maybe nothing. | |
| Jun 27, 2017 at 21:43 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | @godskook Ah. Context. Thanks. | |

| Jun 27, 2017 at 21:26 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | @nitsua60 Beyond the usual problem with latent hostility to new users that is an artifact of SE sites? | |
| Jun 27, 2017 at 19:53 | comment | added | godskook | Segfault, you are not the first to recently bring up this site's over-moderation. rpg.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/7249/… | |

| Jun 27, 2017 at 1:44 | comment | added | nitsua60 Mod | Thank you for volunteering your experience. Can I ask you for a little more focus: what problem for the site do you see current moderation culture creating? | |

Tried to tone down the flippancy of the discussion.
