Blue versus Yellow

[jiaco]

Not sure how exactly to get my message across, but in an attempt to be proactive, can I please have the attention of the forum regulars and can you please read the quote below (from the now closed DRM-free thread):

Why have webmaster team let this people insult the Kickstarter support fans?

I do not want to have to delete posts from regulars but if they cannot respect what the moderators/developers ask, what choice do I have? It took me a good while to page through this DRM-free thread and find these posts, but the people I am addressing here were on this thread like flies on shit, so I know you saw at least one of them:

Again, thanks for the support but we can handle this - if you’re providing helpful information to other people, that’s great but please don’t get into disputes with other forum members / call people out because you disagree with them.

I’m quite certain I could astroturf a lot more effectively than that; give me some credit. Not there is any reason to at this point now that the only real hostility going on here is between users. Thread has settled down - Crate launches secret astroturfing campaign to piss everyone off again

And on that subject, please don’t make us delete anymore posts. If your post is directed at another person, is hostile and /or doesn’t contain legitimately useful information, it will be deleted. If people keep at this, they will be banned. We’ve been lenient up until now because I realize feelings are running hot but it’s time to stop.

While I appreciate the sentiment, Crate doesn’t need anyone to jump to our defense. We’re practically all grown up and can fend for ourselves if need be.

Please don’t make us ban anyone.

If people continue to make inflammatory posts aimed at one group of users or another, in what is devolving into a flame war over the DRM-Free release issue, they will be deleted.

If you want to continue to rage out about it and direct your posts at Crate, go for it. All this thread should be at this point is people directing questions or comments at Crate, not against one another.

If people have not yet claimed their Steam key from Humble Store and would like a refund over this DRM-Free release delay, email support with your KS backer info and we can issue a refund via PayPal.

Edit - Lol, just read the previous post about legal action. Given that we never made any guarantee of concurrent release, have made efforts toward the DRM-Free release and are talking about a 1-2 week delay, good luck if you want to take it to court. Not sure why everything seems to come down to threats of legal action these days but whatever… In any case, I’m happy to offer a refund if that’s what you need.

There’s no reason for endless debate in this thread. If you’re not upset about the situation, we appreciate your understanding. Others are angry and will no doubt continue to be so - having people argue with them is unlikely to improve their situation or ours.

…if you are ok with the current situation, stay out of the DRM threads. There is no need to keep replying. Pretty sure the people that are upset will remain upset until Crate gets this sorted.

I mean seriously, aren’t any of you embarrassed at the number of times you were told to just stay quiet?

Let us see if we cannot do better next time. Thanks.
