Like watching a sporting event and it just turns into a complete blowout.
As I alluded to before, in game terms the thought that I had was of a party getting wiped out.
When Nexon makes up a rule to specifically target a topic then you know that the suggestion is in trouble.
When Nexon moves to a brand new forum and brings over said rule, there are not really a lot of ways to explain or escape that.
Preventing spam sounds good on paper but a total ban about a Classic server? The message I get from that is crystal clear.
It's not a "brand new forum", though. The platform is different but all the same people are there. If a certain person's single-mindedness grated too much on the nerves of the other regulars in the old forum, what reason is there to think they wouldn't mind it in the new?
Maybe Nexon should have handled it differently. Maybe they should have banned the spammer, not the topic. Maybe they should have banned the people flaming him. Maybe they should just have given him a clear answer, since he said he'd shut up if they said "not happening." I don't know. It's not the first or last time Nexon has mismanaged their official forums.
Either way, once they made the rule, it seems natural that they'd carry it over to the new platform.
But if you choose to see that as the final closing of the door, I'm certainly not going to try to convince you to keep posting about it.
