SI Silence

The rumours are that SI are more silent on the forums now than previously because of the abuse and negative feedback they got/get & the lack of constructive comments made by managers (or, in some cases it seems, ex-managers)- some are like dogs with a bone and never seem to accept an explanation unless it fits their myopic view of the game.

In my opinion, this is a huge fail. The forums have become a haven for the negative disaffected doom-mongerers of FML. Comments and accusations are made as if they are fact, with no official reply. I read the forums and, despite agreeing with some downsides of the game, just feel many random statements made are generally uninformed and narrow-minded.

I try and grasp on to the hope that most people have a rational side, and when explained why something has to, or will happen, then they accept and move on or away. As things stand though, with no comment at all, the dissent increases....

I am guessing it takes a fair bit of time out of their days, and they can ill-afford wasting it, but more of a presence will sate some peoples needs for clarification (and if some things need saying a few times, they need saying a few times- even if it's 'we haven't decided yet' or something more blunt, but informed).

A little tough love's what these people need. If that doesn't work, move on to Molotov cocktails- then again, if SI are fixing a few of the issues about which many people are asking, I guess silence is indeed golden... difficult balance.
