Voted for allowing memes and less moderation in general. The sentiment is dreary enough as it is. I think feedback/criticism can be discussed in a more civil and constructive manner if people have something to cheer them up here as well.
Letting people post whatever they want would be a good way for Hi-Rez to get a feel for how the community as a whole feels too. Smite is at a point where any type of feedback is desperately needed.
edit: to add, what does censoring negative sentiment or "doomposting" as people call it achieve? I don't want to get myself nuked from the subreddit since anything that's remotely negative gets removed here but why is someone asking if the game is doing poorly getting removed while all those posts of people telling this subreddit to brigade the steam page with positive reviews were allowed to stay up during Vegas?
Not to mention there were fake "smite 2 is amazing" posts from brand new accounts here during that time. Reddit itself removed a post from one of those users along with the account itself while the post from the brand new shill account was allowed to stay up in r/smite until then. How are those any better than someone asking if the game is dying? People wouldn't feel the need to keep asking the same question if the posts asking it weren't getting instantly nuked.
In the very early days of Smite 2 I was OVERWHELMINGLY optimistic on it. In some of the earliest posts about Smite 2's announcement and playtests I probably have comments there saying Smite 2 will be amazing because Hi-Rez can't afford to make it anything less than incredible. I was also one of the people who actually had a good first impression of it. I still thought people should be allowed to express negative feelings freely despite my own excitement towards my favorite game's sequel. I still think that way even though my sentiment towards the game changed.
