I don’t know what he’s replying to but he comes off as defensive an awful lot, which turns me off of him. Assholes on the internet are a dime a dozen, there’s no reason that a CM should ever bother starting an argument with one.

i'm not trying to come off as defensive (now i'm wondering if this reply going to come off as defensive too?)

i'm trying to be communicate more, be more open with you guys and give you straight up answers that try to stop spread of misinformation on the sub and tell you what's actually happening.

this post for example is just spreading misinformation. it's pretty sensationalist, in the post OP linked i'm literally saying that we are working on the next update (the optional bug fix update) so it's weird that the title is "next update not even begun"

just because we are working on that doesn't mean that we haven't been working the past month or two on the planning stage for the next 'big' update after CW2.

if people keep feeding back negatively to this kind of communication i am happy to stop, just would love some feedback on what types of responses you want from me instead.

It’s not the principle of the comment that’s the problem (at least for me), it’s the adjective-laden quips like “this comment is super disingenuous” or the italicized “literally”. Makes you seem like you’re taking more of a combative role than an informative one, even if your comment is more informative by nature.

If what you comment is true (don’t get me wrong, I have every bit of faith that you never lie to us), then there’s no need to say anything other than “this post is misleading” and a quick rundown of the facts. Otherwise your comment appears more opinionated and/or defensive, which takes away its informative value, and makes people less trusting of it.

ok i see, thanks for the feedback. i guess it's because when i do shorter 'straight to the point' comments people complain that i'm being blunt or that i dont care enough to write more than a few words.

so i'm just writing how i normally would in a casual online convo.

i'll try find a balance between the two. thanks again!
