That thread in Crpg forum didn't bother me. It only bothers me the inconsistencies within moderation, like some stupid shit being enforced while other stupid shit get a free pass, like, for example, a forum dedicated by general japanese games(no, not Jrpg) in the rpg foruns, wish makes no sense.
So which bothers you most, your personal perceived inconsistencies or something that "doesn't make sense" to you? Because Asian shit in the Asian forum is entirely consistent with the description of that forum:
jRPG Weaboo Discussion: For all your DESUDESUDESU needs, where everything released in an asian language or from an asian developer can be discussed. If it remotely smells Japanese, put it in here.
Done because:
a) No-one can fucking agree on what an "RPG" is in the first place.
b) Given a, no-one can fucking agree on what a "jRPG" is - and whether they're even "RPGs" at all - and whether we should even discuss them.
c) Given b, where does general Asian shit go - like those Japanese
rape simulators "strategy games" that are sort of RPGs but not really? General Gaming?
If it bothers you that it's under the RPG Section, then technically the Workshop shouldn't be there either. However the idea is to at least have a focus on RPGs. Also nobody particularly gets hung up about it. I mean, Prosper Land is in Hosted and that's not really a "Hosted" anything.
Also, this thread:
http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...-the-portraits-from-ishar.82696/#post-2668345 Don't see a reason to a thread asking for portraits of a crpg being moved to general gaming at all.
Conversely I don't see a reason to keep it in cRPG. It's not really a discussion about a cRPG, is it? It's asking for pictures from one. There's very little conversation about the game either, so technically, it should probably be in General Discussion. Mind you Crooked Bee is asking for them as avatars too, so maybe Site Feedback is appropriate as well.
Popamole vs cRPG is about the game itself, not the company. Especially if the company started out cRPG and went full popamole - doesn't mean threads about their original efforts should get moved.
The bolded part was never the case to Obsidian. They even tried to port NWN2 to XBOX
.That thread is full of talk about Kotor 2, F:NV, South Park rpg and Alpha Protocol against NWN2. So if i do the maths, 4 popamole RPG games win over 1 almost popamole RPG game.
Well technically, the Anthony Davis thread should be in the Workshop as its some-what a "RPG design and development" discussion. Although the sub-conversation of loyalty and rewards that's currently occurring could be split into General Discussion. Some of the questions are console related though so those ones should be moved into the Shit forum... or given it's an individual answering questions - and that moving bits around really pisses people off (and is also stupid) and that it started out about NWN2 and is
mostly cRPG related (I mean look at
shit like this. That's one post about a console RPG with some shit about a cRPG thrown in as well. WTF do we do with that? We'll have to edit Anthony's post and split it out...), we keep it in the cRPG forum (I will note two questions were moved out into Retardo Land which was wrong and has been corrected).
The fact is, there's no "one" forum that's designed to contain that all - and that's ultimately an issue with having sub-forums in the first place. You can't honestly and clearly say it belongs in one forum vs another. And there's no Gestapo Thread Police around here who's goal in life is to make sure that every
individual post in any given thread is in the exact, correct and proper forum. If it upsets you, and you're genuinely not just being a shit about it (which you are just btw), you use the report function. A moderator will look at it, most likely disagree with you or ignore the report (like they do 90% of reports because they're mostly shit) and carry on.
Anthony Davis is a developer and he's mostly talking about cRPGs. Why is this a fucking issue? Because a thread that degenerated into LOL FEMNINSM
got GD'd? While another feminism topic
went full retard? Has the thread gone completely off-topic yet? Has it reached full retard? If not, there's your answer as to why it hasn't been moved.
