It was before my time as a mod so I don't know the specifics. I would observe that some people overreact to things, whether it's being moderated, having a disagreement with another user, or not having the game developed in the way they think it should. vOv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkOwl57 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Dear mods, I have a question for you. So as you may know (Or at least @sal_vager), there was once a great thread called the Number War. Due to some careless mistakes by some of my fellow 'soldiers', we idiotically got the thread closed. I will be willing to accept the hits, but I am asking- BEGGING you to at least consider re-opening the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sal_vager Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Unfortunately of all the games we've seen here on the Kerbal Space Program none have been as dividing or have cause more cheating, arguments (both in the thread and privately) and animosity between members as the number war, hard to believe for such a simple concept, but I guess it boils down competitiveness and "Us verses them" mentality to its most basic example. It was a burden on the moderation team for a very long time, on a par with some of the worst offenders such as certain Rocket Builders threads and some non KSP fan threads. So I'm sorry but the number war is unsuitable for these forums, at least for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernovy Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 9 hours ago, VaPaL said: How do you guys deal with cultural differences? While on the forum, the forum culture supersedes all others. This forum has unique practices and ways of speaking that aren't seen in other forums or in real life. For example, "delta-v" is a term often used here, but not very often in anyone's day to day life no matter the culture they come from or the language they speak. This is why culture clashes don't happen often here, there's only really one culture. So to answer your question, we don't because there aren't.

Vanamonde Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Cultural differences haven't been a problem, on the forum or the mod team. People on the internet tend to already be used to dealing with foreigners and their funny ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dres Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 So, I've been interested in reviving a topic lately, but I'm not sure how to go about it. This thread is currently almost a year old, but the topic it covers is still very much active. So I'm not sure whether it would be better to revive this thread or to make a completely new one. I'm asking here because I don't think this is a thread worthy question, but I don't know if this should go somewhere else (I also note that this is a particularly touchy subject with regards to rule 2.2.j, but if I understand correctly, announcing the existence of such things is not forbidden. Please correct me if wrong.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, I personally think that the best solution would be to contact the OP of the thread, Spaceception, and see if they're still interested in that particular thread. If they've moved on, start a new one. If not, just post to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snark Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 13 hours ago, munlander1 said: What day and what time do you see the most activity? What Red said. We don't really have a sharp spike of increased activity, mainly because users are smeared across a fair number of time zones. However, we do kinda have a trough of low activity, corresponding to the time period when the Americas have mostly gone to bed, but Europe mostly hasn't woken up yet. The large majority of our users are either in Europe or the Americas. (Certainly we have users practically everywhere, but Europe and the Americas seem to have the lion's share.) I have the impression that activity tends to tick upwards a bit on weekends, since that's when folks tend to have more free time, aren't at work, etc. (Certainly that's when I see an uptick in the download rate of my mods, which I can see a handy graph for-- there's always an uptick on Saturday / Sunday after I release an update.) It's worth noting that you can answer this question pretty much as well as the mods can, just by looking at forums and posts and stuff.

Deddly Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Honestly, the best way to get a thread opened or closed is to report the OP and write your request in the report box. That's one for the FAQ, @Dman979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
