These malicious rumors then led to drama, which led to riots, which led to mob rule. Mob rule is not what this game was founded on and this crap needs to end. It is all based on crap rumors spread by troublemakers via 3rd party platforms and has absolutely nothing to do with anything relevant to the future of this game. It is obvious that some people here still have not learned a thing from the past.
I think I said this somewhere earlier in this thread, but I'm going to reiterate it because this whole post comes off as incredibly aggressive and I'm not entirely sure why...
I think the first step here is to-- stop phrasing it as if the people in this thread ("you") are, or have, acted in this way. I think that'll stop a lot of miscommunication that might be happening in here...?
We can acknowledge a part of the community is toxic without assuming that they are the same as the majority. In my experience, most people who sit around and post "the game needs to die" are those who are doing so to stir the pot and shouldn't be taken seriously. There are still plenty of people here who enjoy the game
Reading through the last few responses, I'm trying to understand how we got to this point. And regardless of trying to move on and work with the new staff, who are all lovely, silencing people because we do not agree with them does not seem like a productive way forward. Forgetting history leads to repeating it and I think that's why this thread, and the community feedback thread, focuses on what the community would like to see done. Why they have concerns, where they come from, and what they hope to see with the current staff team.
I would also like to point out that both Kerriki and Ame have admitted that wrongful bans have happened in the past, with a game that has a history of 10 years that makes sense! What I think needs to also be remembered is that without evidence for or against a ban being wrong, it's hard for staff to reverse decisions
if they were wrong, to begin with. It doesn't mean people coming forward are all "fake" or "getting revenge".
We've been trying in this thread, and the others, to stop using blanket statements to refer to members of the community and I think you would have an easier time being heard if you-- refrained from aggressive statements.
Furthermore, the staff here now had nothing to do with any of the crap that is being brought up yet again. But yet it keeps getting brought up over and over as if they were somehow involved with this alleged "wrongdoing". This is ridiculous and needs to end now for the sake of everyone here.
If you want people to stop bringing up the past with the staff, why don't we stop bringing up the past with the community? Because this back and forth blame game isn't going to solve anything. We're only going to be able to move forward if everyone works together and stops pointing fingers.
I respect your passion for FH, I really do, but I think there are more than just you who also want to see the game succeed.
