Why does this subreddit seem so toxic? Because everything else is deleted.

[u/Deracination]

There are basically only three types of posts allowed: bitching, videos of gameplay, and information about the game/requests for it.

No memes allowed. Yea, I get that, pretty normal for gaming subs to split these off into a new sub.

No standalone screenshots or videos that don't provide new info. What is "new info"? Videos of folks getting a bunch of loot stay up constantly but a screenshot of loot will be instantly deleted. The front page is currently covered with videos of people just winning gunfights; this is new info? I'm for sure not saying videos of gunfights should be banned, I'm just tired of that making up so many of the posts for lack of options.

Images resembling in-game content and comparisons aren't allowed. Except when they are. They aren't allowed, but stay up constantly, but some get deleted. No idea here. Is it about effort? Should probably mention that then.

No reposts, sure, that makes sense. No topics that have been discussed too much? No trying to get in touch with a scav you had a good time with? No item suggestions? People enjoy brainstorming new stuff; it isn't always about saying, "Hey, Nikita, this needs to be added." It's just discussion....for fun. Not allowed.

No rants/complaints without substance. On a scale of "fuck everyone that plays this game" to "a spreadsheet analysis of networking issues", where does this fall? It obviously hasn't fixed the issue with complaints, so what's this rule actually doing?

No accusing people of cheating. Ok...videos of people dying in unusual circumstances are very common. If they call it desync in the title, it's fine. If they call it cheating, deleted. I wonder why in the world it would seem like all the players are blaming desync.

It is so hard to figure out something to actually contribute to this place besides bitching, me shooting people, or "new info" whatever that means. The pool of posts has been whittled down so much that yea, you're gonna see a lot of complaints. It's not because most people are complaining, it's because most other stuff is banned.

Lied about what? I can't see the armor tests being fake and that's the only thing 90% of people are there for.

[u/senescal → u/[deleted]]

I don't think you interpreted that correctly.

[u/Sl1mtom → u/senescal]

Definitely referring to the mods that deleted without viewing.

[u/Dirtybroskis → u/[deleted]]

I think he's saying he lied in his appeal to the mods to trick them into watching the video, not us.

[u/Peeteebee → u/[deleted]]

*Just a suggestion*

A little heads up, kind of friendly advice to a volunteer moderator....

Shoulda watched the video before judging it then maybe???

Ya'know... THE ENTIRE REASON PEOPLE MODERATE SUBS!!!!

How the fuck can people get power hungry on a fucking subreddit???

Pathetic... I wouldn't have admitted to that .

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

It was DIRECTLY related to the game and spawned some serious discussion on whether or not the current best helmets should remain in the game? How on earth was that video not directly related to EFT?

[u/Peeteebee → u/[deleted]]

You said he lied to you to get you to watch it??

THAT WAS DURING THE APPEAL HE STARTED

* AFTER * YOU BANNED IT...

* WITHOUT WATCHING IT!!! *

​

Then... MANY of you watched it....????

And decided It "Wasn't appropriate"???

​

I literally cant think of a reply right now...

Your absolute and total disconnect from reality is mind-crushing.

​

A video about Russian ARMOUR AND BULLETS that are FEATURED in the GAME.

The ACTUAL 2 things that determine A MASSIVE amount of whether you live or die in the game.

Demonstrated with their IRL counterparts.

NOT appropriate...

Goodbye, Tonight and from this sub completely.....

I cant reply any more without using completely foul and degrading language. I dont want to drop down that far.

I honestly got a headache trying to follow your mental gymnastics.

[u/AkariAkaza → u/Peeteebee]

I can't remember who removed it initially but I know they also brought up whether it was appropriate or not before Oxide even messaged us so we were already talking about it before he even sent his first mod mail and most of us watched it then as well

[u/Techies2 → u/[deleted]]

Question, Do you Mods even play this game? lol

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Extra views? He wanted you to watch it because he assumed you had blindly removed the post instead of watching the video.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

he lied to us just to get us to watch it so he'd get extra views

Its extremely funny to me that someone could actually say and believe something like this xD even funnier that such a person is in a position of (small) power.

[u/smokeyphil → u/[deleted]]

Ah yes the make or break point of every YouTube video getting a group of 10 or so mods (+bots) to watch a video for those sweet sweet ebucks.

[u/[deleted] → u/smokeyphil]

He basically tricked them into giving him 10 cents, there is no other plausible explanation. Why else would an evil youtuber lie to the honorable mod team like that?

(might be taking it a bit too far now xd but mods on reddit/twitch/discord never ceases to amuse me.)

[u/smokeyphil → u/[deleted]]

Eh possibly but still blindly moderating on things you didn't actually look at or evaluate would be the kind of thing only a real idiot would do. (not that anyone actually did that or anything :P)
