Original Post — Direct link

Yesterday, I couldn't get into PTS and I asked /r/Smite if anyone had a solution to the problem. Not too long after, I received a message from one of the mods that the post broke the rules and that the submission was removed. Fortunately, Hi-Rez got to it before the mods did and fixed my issue.

Regardless, the encounter just rubbed me the wrong way because I actually had a problem and was looking for help. Why is something like that Thoth skin post allowed that adds absolutely nothing to the benefit of Smite players and my post is not? This subReddit needs a revamp, especially with what happened recently with the mod drama.

Here's my removed post

Here's the Thoth post

For the record, I don't mind the Thoth post, but it's ridiculous that mine was removed if that one is to stay. I just want the mods to rethink how they manage /r/Smite and I wanted to generate some discussion on the subject.

This should be a place that anyone can go for help.

Personally, I think bugs and critique of the game should be allowed, as I see much more Hirez staff interaction here than in the support tickets.

Allowing users to communicate in the most efficient ways is best to making the game better

Just to chime in, you are free to criticize the game, as long as it isn't too ranty because you've lost a few matches or something like that, as we get tons of those and it would leave a bad taste in the subreddit's quality if rants were the majority of posts.

As for the bug report, the main problem is that it's inefficient. Titan employees that are on customer support rarely visit this sub, so this way they'd miss a lot of posts, and people would be posting here instead of somewhere where they'll actually get more help. Even this situation that occurred now is a huge exception to the rule, as I personally can't remember the last time someone's account/game issues were solved by titan employees on reddit. It just isn't that efficient for users.

Most of this sub is repetitive and stupid questions (I don’t mind new players asking about game features etc, I mean the ones asking for dates on things like patch notes or god releases which get reposted every 7 minutes), boring clips and posting arena scoreboards. Interesting posts such as yours or discussions on the current meta and discussing future gods get drowned out. I really wish the mods could find away to decrease the number of lazy and poor quality posts.

We're open to suggestions! We will soon hold a meeting and discuss our current rules and how to improve so each suggestion is welcome, either here or (even better) in modmail, where I can mark it for later.

How can I access mod mail?

There's a "Message to mods" button above the mod list. Alternatively, send a message through this link :)
