[2021] PINNED: Discussion Reminders and Moderation Information

Hey Tenno!

All of us at Digital Extremes are extremely thankful for your feedback and input. Constructive and concise feedback makes a huge contribution to the way we develop, polish, and ship Warframe to you.

The Steam discussions have been a prominent place for discussing Warframe over the years, and when we read feedback, a well-constructed and thought-out post is the way to go. Here is a fast guide from a Dev side to write good, useful feedback.

• Keep it simple
  
  • Write simple, directed points about the topic you feel strongly about. Remember to be constructive and to the point.
• Back it up
  
  • Support your points with concrete points. X has better stats than Y. This ability is less useful when considering X. Provide in-game situational evidence or a solid foundation for your argument to rest upon.
• Be polite
  
  • The best feedback occurs when two people discuss opposing viewpoints to find a constructive middle ground. Discussion is a natural part of feedback! Ensuring that it is polite and without personal attacks is key. We’re far less inclined to listen to feedback filled with personal attacks and rude speech. We are all trying our best!

As for moderation on these forums, we follow strict guidelines outlined by Steam as well as our personal set of rules. [forums.warframe.com] As you are posting and replying to your fellow Tenno, please take into account these guidelines and rules. To be as clear as possible, here is a list of rules to be aware of.
