Just learnt of the deletion of my previous thread.
To the peeps who reported my post: hats off to you. You are EHG’s Collaborators & Yes-Men and will always be. You’ll always be kowtowing to a higher authority no matter what.
To EHG’s anonymous moderator: it takes some zeal to delete a humorous and absolutely harmless post. Well done buddy!
Now, collaborators, do as you’re told! Report this post too!
I dont know whats happening here but I aint putting a tinfoil hat on
Noting some curious behaviour from certain people (reporting a benign and humorous thread) =/= Having a tinfoil hat on. Subtle ad personam from you.
Please refrain from responding if you don’t know what this is about.
Alright tinfoil hat man
You’re not noting behaviour, you’re assuming it based on the belief that anyone who doesn’t agree with you is a “collaborator” (because EHG is an oppressive regime).
What do you call a person who intentionally views harmless words as hostile / malevolent towards the powers that be, then proceeds to inform them of the aforementioned words?
None of the finks have provided a precise reason to report my previous thread, nor have they posted on this new thread about the reasoning behind that decision.
No further information or details from the moderator involved either (pick one out of 18). Only a vague automated message: Flagged post removed by staff. How convenient! Everything is so much simpler when you do it this way.
One last thing: carry the circlejerk on by liking astonishingly clever posts such as “alright tinfoil hat man”!
Not having seen the thread or remembering it if I did, there are other options than malice, the most obvious one being that they thought you were being a dick & your “harmless words” weren’t in their point of view. The people who flagged the thread could even not have posted in it, you don’t have a clue because that’s all anonymous.
From prior experience, you’ll get whatever generic response was loaded into the system. If you want to understand why it happened you’d need to PM a mod & ask, but calling them names over multiple posts is unlikely to make them particularly sympathetic, they are human after all.
I’m just calling a spade a spade from the information to hand.
I had very strong stances over the years and ran my mouth and there were only two times when there were issues. Once about I state something obvious about cheating and about gender related stuff of playable toons.
Seems more then fair to me from my point of view. IF people arround here flag a comment there is most likely a reason for it. Stuff like people posting stuff that could be called spam in general instead of offtopic is neough most likely so the thread get moved… just to make a rendom example.
If enough people are against what you say they look into it and if they dislike what they see it’s their choice to handle it how they want becauce they own this place.
Being a dick? Talk about a simplistic conclusion, especially when you didn’t read the thread. It was merely a begign satirical post about an hypothetic LE expansion, written in a basic CM-style form. May have offended the delicate EHG’s Yes-Men.
On a side note, using EHG’s assets and editing them is not prohibited by the community guidelines, as most LE content creators do it. Here’s their press kit: https://lastepoch.com/media
It wasn’t my intent to impersonate EHG. It was pretty blatant, judging by the post and art.
Lastly, as you said: finks didn’t bother posting and simply pushed the “flag / report” button.
I’m just calling a spade a spade from the information to hand.
The way you call out to me for calling a specific moderator “names” then proceed to implicitly call me a “tinfoil hat wearer”, put another way: a paranoid is quite interesting. The double standard is strong.
Have you read the thread in question?
It wasn’t moved but got straight up deleted after around 2 hours (without any precise explanation ofc).
Yeah, EHG owns this place but still, indicating precisely why users got their thread deleted and how they broke the “community guidelines” would go a long way towards transparency from their side. A little reminder: 18 moderators.
Obviously. I was merely trying to help you understand, in general terms, why people are likely to flag a post.
In my experience, most people who complain about being banned or having had threads closed or deleted tend to lack the self-awareness to understand that it’s usually their behaviour that leads to it. The mods/devs aren’t particularly precious/snowflake-y & very rarely edit posts let alone ban people. We’ve only had a handful of threads closed & none of them were “benign satirical posts”.
TBF, you are assuming malicious intent where there generally hasn’t been any in the years I’ve been here, so you certainly do appear to be exhibiting signs of someone who’s paranoid.

Could you please quit speculating on a so-called “lack of self-awareness” when you’ve never read the thread in question?
0 malevolence whatsoever, except for EHG’s Yes-Men / Sycophants / insert any servile synonym.
It seems like this new thread was reported like 10 min ago (orange rectangle). Well done, sycophants! More cowardice by the numbers. Able to press the report button, unable to argue. Weapons of the simple-minded.
But after 1 day, still 0 precise explanation as to why the previous post was reported & deleted, from the finks or the mod.

May I fix an appointment? You seem to be a skilful psychiatrist.
Based on this (without having read the thred in question) and your behaviour in this thread, you being a dick is a safe assumption to be honest.
Outside this thread, he wasn’t offensive in his replies, from what I remember. (Though I have not read the removed ‘benign satire’)
For all I can say, moderators tolerate a lot of shit in this forum. They usually draw lines when it becomes racist, homophobic, or otherwise very tasteless, but even severely impolite critique towards EHG does not get removed.
Yet another speculating without having read the previous thread, sigh.
Since I’m tired of arguing with people who haven’t viewed the previous thread and are utterly unable to develop a well-argued reasoning about the possible reason(s) for the report and removal of it, here it is → https://i.imgur.com/zdJiKUB.png
What was offensive / hostile / malevolent towards EHG that warranted a report & removal?
Was it the image? The form? (:
You be the judge!
Not offensive.
But too close to impersonating being an EHG team member. Doesn’t matter if it’s satire.
Not everyone on this forum is smart enough to see through the satire right away.
“Past Eloch”
“Tenth Hour Games”
That requires an examination of what was written in the picture.
Especially with reoccurring visual elements like logos, people don’t pay close attention. Me, for example, realized the tenth-hour logo, because I thought using their logo is bold, but I didn’t pay any attention to the past eloch. It’s just two swapped letters, my peripheral view pattern recognition wasn’t triggered that something was off.
So you made a post that might fool some people into thinking it’s an actual EHG post, you dicked about a very sensitive topic they’re not comfortable to talk about (paid expansion) for whatever reason and you’re surprised it was removed?
I would remove this from my own game’s forums in an instant to be honest. It’s okay on twitter, reddit, whatever but it’s not okay on the official forums. Do you seriously not understand what the problem is with this?
I wish imgur hadn’t decided that people in the UK shouldn’t be allowed to view stuff on it.
