As I’m sure you have already seen this latest edit provides some info about moderation tools. I’m no mod so I’m asking, is this a change you hoped to achieve, concerning moderation tools? I know the paid API thing is still there, but besides that, are these good news if they follow up on them?

    Can we have a poll on reddit or something temporary? I have so many stuff saved, comments, crafting methods, discussions about farming strategies. At least I would like to export them somewhere if you plan to close it down for good. There’s so much info about the game just sitting inaccesible.

      Let me reassure you there – we don’t plan to close it down forever. Additionally, for the duration of the blackout I’m working on a read-only mirror of the subreddit with all the data up until March. The data is exported. Later this weekend I should be able to share a link that lets everyone view the contents of the sub without actually giving reddit any traffic

      Would that resolve your concern about guides? Or does the posts are saved mean through the reddit saved tab, and you’d still need to re-find them all

        Well it seems the admins are now forcing subs to open, at least based on pics, steam and piracy. Piracy is taking it as an endorsement from the admins that they want piracy on their site. Pics is now John Oliver pics only, and Steam is now discussions of actual water vapor.

        If you’re not planning on closing forever, why not just open it now in restricted or limited to specific tangential posting similar to other subs; rather than mirroring the data just to have it available.

            I’ll comment here since the main reddit post is getting spammed. What do you hope to achieve with making everything in the sub NSFW? What about trolls that will post gore with missleading titles and more NSFW content? Why would you enable such behavior insted of just leaving gracefully? Like reddit did to you, why are you enforcing your own opinions to people that didn’t mind the reddit changes? In the poll, who is more likely to brigade when you have an option that enables trolls and spam bots to post without reprecussions? At least consider doing a second polling round between the top 2 choices.

              Oh, to be clear we have never considered allowing actual pornography or gore on the subreddit. All the rules and mod enforcement will be the same. This poll option would just mark all posts as nsfw in the UI, which hurts reddit’s advertising quite a bit.

              We can justify this by the game being rated M for violence, nudity, etc, and around 1/4 posts has profanity in it or it’s comments, based on some database queries I ran

                I dont mind seeing the NSFW tag accross the board. I mind clicking a post with a misleading title and seeing innapropriate content. Are you sure this won’t get out of hand?

                  Am I positive it won’t get out of hand? Not entirely, a lot of our mods are retiring and we will not have bandwidth to moderate everything as quickly as we have before.

                  The community’s votes say they want the NSFW option, I’m fine with it too, but the comments seem more against it, it’s a bit concerning

                    undefined> but the comments seem more against it, it’s a bit concerning We don’t even know if the people voting on the poll are from poe community only. They might just be random users from all over reddit, visiting and voting on these polls without being part of the sub.

        Saved option in the reddit profile saved tab. The saved stuff and any google searches will still remain closed off right? So assume I do a google search about a poe question and most of the time the answer was answered on a subreddit post. Those would still be inaccesible too. Or my own posts, detailing something that we access through our reddit profile.

        The mirror clone sounds good and I assume is a lot of work too. But all the things I mentioned are accessed via either our reddit profile or google search results.
