Just to clarify, this isn't technically in mod chat, but as it says the "General VGC Chat". The mod chat is always, always much more formal and active as we discuss the reports, posts and moderation. This chat room is more the one where we talk about just general games and announcements. They're not the same and the views of one do in no way reflect the views of the other. But yes, this informal chat isn't normal or representative of what the mod team thinks or how seriously we take moderation on this site in any way shape or form. All conferences had similar responses so we're not "flaming" or anything, it's just the live thoughts we had when the conference was on, nothing more and nothing less. Apologies for any confusion or if it doesn't look like that; it's not the case at all. Also note that I don't believe anyone disliked the Sony conference, it was all mostly positive but there's a lot of sarcasm flying around. Once again, other conferences were the same or worse *cough*EA*cough* so there's no "bias" here. |
Formality wasn't really my point, it was just that the chat was moderators only.
I really don't care what mod said what in the chat, it was (supposed to be) a closed chat and I'm sure you guys know eachother well enough to say pretty much whatever you want to eachother.
My only issue is the fact that is was posted on here in the first place, and how that behaviour will be percieved by VGC as a whole. It wasn't really funny and there was no real punchline, they were just comments that - some of which - would most likely have been moderated here on VGC, directed at only a single fanbase. It really makes me question why it was posted and how anybody thought it would be a good idea. Didn't anybody foresee Sony fans being disgruntled (and rightly so) because of the moderators appearing biased? Didn't anybody foresee those who shitpost Sony and its fans being encouraged by a thread like this?
