iaco, speaking of piracy, read in a forum online that Grim Dawn has been pirated, which I find reprehensible. You can check it for yourself through the included link.
Thanks, but I really do not give a rats ass what pirates do. They just should not come here. They are not welcome. And at least here, I can do something about it.
Oh god, I myself had been a bit annoying and offensive myself (I didn’t mean to make troubles just I myself has a bit of bad habit of sarcasm and annoying other people in order to get attention) :undecided:
Thanks for talking some sense into me.
I will be much more careful in the future.
Well, parties over. No more substitute teacher. Jiacos back ;p

Bumping this again as the advice is alway pertinent. But mostly to say a BIG BIG thank you to the moderators, former and current, who have done such tireless work over the years to keep the forum a happy and welcoming place. From it’s small and intimate beginnings to a large forum with nearly 45,000 members they’ve done a sterling job keeping things running smoothly.
We members bitch and moan about this and that when things don’t get dealt with as quickly as we’d like, but don’t say thank you as often as we should for the work they do behind the scenes. So thank you folks, your work is appreciated, even if we don’t tell you that as frequently as we should.
Not sure if promoting self or first post :eek:
Good point though this is a spectacular forum, and as much as the members keep it going strong and healthy and the devs are so involved, the Mods definitely make a big difference in keeping it friendly and spam free. Kudos to you all
nighteyes, definitely not either. I’m speaking as a long term member of the forum, not self promoting in any way - and certainly not my first post, not even a a new moderator.
I occasionally like to reread the various announcements and development updates from the early years of the forum and was reading this the other day. I reminded me that the mods here do a great job in looking after the forum, keeping it clean and welcoming for everyone. But more often than not they get flack over something rather than the praise they deserve. So I wanted to say thanks, it’s that simple.
The thread itself is also worth a bump because the advice given in jiaco’s OP is what helps to keep the forum such a great place. All too often on forums threads can descend into name calling, mud slinging chaos if people respond rather than simply ignoring and reporting the post to those forums’ moderators. I’ve seen it happen on another forum I belong to. Even when such threads get closed it reflects badly on the forum, long time members get fed up with the constant squabbling/flare ups and don’t visit any more, new members who get jumped on leave as well, the forum gets a bad reputation so no new members join up and eventually the forum dies.
So please follow jiaco’s advice:
"In the future, please bring issues that bother you or that you feel need moderator attention directly to a moderator. We will determine whether there is need for intervention and step in if necessary or privately address the individual in question. Please don’t take it upon yourselves to correct other users, this is only likely to result in conflict, which makes more work for moderators and Crate staff. It also can give new users a bad vibe and turn potential fans away from the game and community here.
If you feel a thread has been necroed without merit, you only make things worse when you follow up with your own post. Instead, do not respond but, if you think something needs to be said, contact a moderator allow them to say it."
Sorry Medea, trying for a joke, obviously didn’t come out that way,
Not a problem nighteyes. That’s the problem with written words - don’t always get your meaning/intentions across as they should.
Purple monkey dishwasher?
I kid, I kid…
Seriously though, the GD & TQ communities are by far the most tight-knit and welcoming groups I have ever encountered!!
Keep up the amazing work Crate and I’ll keep greasing your palms with my monies
