I'm not outing him, he's OP who made the entire post about the sub/game mode.

Had he been a competent admin and discussed the matter with me rather than throwing a tantrum and rage-banning me for the unforgivable crime of beating him at his own game the first time I played it, then yes we could have had direct communication.

Perhaps if I had cared even a fraction as much as he did I'd have found another way to message him but incompetent server admins are a dime a dozen (in any context not just BT) so I didn't really care. It's not like I made the reddit post, lol!!

I only brought it up because he mentioned posted about it and I figured it was worth warning other people before they get griefed what kind of server admin they're dealing with.

To be clear, what I took issue with was particularly the bit where you named the host by three different aliases. I might be tempted to intervene even if it had been just about dropping by the host's post to warn others about them, because even that is questionable in my opinion – it is after all just your opinion against someone else's, and debating who was right is not something our public, official community platforms are there for. Writing another person's screen names and calling them out on the other hand is simply unkind and hugely drama prone, so messages like that are categorically deleted wherever we see them. This is also clearly stated in the subreddit rules.

Hello everyone!

One of the most frequently heard wishes from our players has been to make humanoid characters look nicer. As such, we’re very happy to introduce a complete character overhaul as part of the next update.

New ragdoll and animations
We’ve revisited the proportions and movements of the bodies of human characters to achieve a more natural look. However, the basic ragdoll system remains the same, so expect some comical movements as always!

New faces, hairstyles and accessories
We’re replacing all character faces in the game with new and improved ones. Hair and facial hair styles as well as accessories and costumes have also been remade to fit the new style.

New customization options
We’re adding a skin shader system to allow you to customize your character’s co... Read more

Hello everyone!

One of the few big things still left in Barotrauma that we have not thoroughly overhauled during Early Access are humanoid characters. With the next update, we finally get to cross that one off our to do list.

A complete character overhaul

We’re remaking the looks of characters from the ground up, starting with a new ragdoll and animations. The ragdoll system itself hasn’t been changed (and most likely won’t be!), so some comical jankiness is still to be expected. Instead, we’ve revisited the proportions and limb placements of characters, which should make them look a bit more natural.

Next, the faces. While it kind of makes sense for the denizens of Europa to be no beauty contest winners, it...

Don't out individuals or groups of individuals, no matter how badly you think they have wronged you.

If you have feedback to give to a host, it's best to take it straight to them (and always be polite about it).

If it's related to something that moderators or developers can help with (subreddit/discord/steam forums) report posts, send a modmail or otherwise directly contact without creating a post about it.

Hello everyone!

One of the most exciting additions in the next major update is going to be the brand new talent system. Talents are class-specific buffs and extra skills that you will be able to unlock with experience points gained from completing missions in the campaign.

Talents serve to make the roles of different classes stand out better while allowing you to shape your characters more to your liking. They also make characters more valuable to the crew because of their new, more specialized proficiencies – in some cases, choosing the right talents can even allow you to craft previously uncraftable items!

  • Engineers get talents to specialize in crafting, research and exploration, or the core engineer tasks aboard the sub.
  • Mechanics can specialize in ...

Hello everyone! It’s time to start introducing the many new features that you’re going to find in the next Barotrauma update. As we already mentioned a few weeks ago, the update’s main attraction are the overhauled alien ruins, but there is much besides to look forward to. Such as… Ever dreamed of becoming a highly specialized electrician who can outwire everyone else on the boat?

Hello! I removed the post because it looked to me like advertising in the wrong place, plus it talked about Discord, which we also use, while making needlessly negative, unsubstantiated claims. If you would like to advertise a Barotrauma-related chatroom you host yourself, without all the unnecessary and controversial claims, you may do so on the "Recruiting Crewmates" subforum, where all manner of legitimate recruiting ads are welcome.
