To be honest, there may be such a thing as the law of the first person to say it.๐Ÿ˜ž
This is a "yes" or "no" since the SG is to share the correct perception, and let's talk about "there is a different way" elsewhere.

This is a known fact to most of you, but I will review it for the sake of sharing information.

Recently, there was a sudden outbreak of war between Russia and Ukraine.

Ukraine's internet was in disrepair at the beginning of the war, and some people came to SG to gather information and check on their safety.
The next day, the Russian Internet was not working well, and people came to SG to gather information and to confirm their safety.

During the first week, people on both sides "violated" the "guidelines," but there was a temporary spike in posts involving "donations" and "begging."

These were properly managed by having people check the guidelines and by quiet moderators and supporters.

Currently, the Internet situation on the Ukrainian side is being maintained and satellite communication equipment has been provided, so it should be fine for the time being in the future.
On the other hand, Russia is concerned that the Internet will be censored from today and some sites will not be able to connect.
(There is a possibility that this site may not be able to be opened either.)

However, it is also true that this is essentially a gaming community, so it is out of place.

But history has proven that infringing on freedom of information is the same as a "dictatorship". (I'm not saying who...)

How can we live apart without greatly infringing on the day-to-day life of the gaming community, and without inhibiting the viewing of information?

This is where the "category" addition comes in.

Originally, a subscription feature existed for discussions.
By adding war categories, they can be subscribed to or unsubscribed from at each person's discretion.

This would have the added benefit of providing easy access to Warzone information.

At the very least, it will reduce problems if there is no situation of a posting spree.

If there is anything I would care to do later, it would be to add notes in those categories in the guidelines.

For those who don't want to see the spectacle of war.
[NSFW] may also need to be thorough.
It may be better not to deal with information on both parties to the war in one topic. (Separate by country)

I would like to think that this is not the case, but considering the number of countries involved in the war in the future, I felt that simply deleting or restricting posts would not solve the problem, so I suggested this as an immediate measure.

There is probably a better way.
However, since no one has contributed to the proposal since the war started, I decided to write in.

No one is a bad person in the community.

There are only people caught up in the convenience of bad humanity.

Please be a good friend and a gentleman.

In any case, we have prepared this topic to clarify what is needed.
Or one might think that the time for urgency has passed.

If so, these topics should be "Do not post unless it is an emergency.

The main problem is that unless these are made explicit in the guidelines, they will continue regardless of the yes/no of the proposal.

I understand that it's real, but why does this site have to be over-run with topics about this, and turn into a place of conflict as a result?

No one likes to be involved in a war.
Such unfortunate events are bound to happen suddenly.
We don't want this to happen again, but we need to think about it in case it does.

Perhaps this is the area considering the "cause up to this point" and "what happened over time"? I feel that this is a good idea.
However, over the past two weeks, I have raised the issue because I felt that the most common opinion was that the categories should be separated.
(o'ฮ˜'))ใ€€I understand the sentiment that it is best if nothing happens. I don't like trouble either, but only in emergencies.

Huh? The proposer erased the article and disappeared.
I think that proximity and remoteness to things is something that cannot be helped.
I don't feel bad that you erased the post either, but I wish you would have told me I could have erased it as well.๐Ÿ˜‚

I personally hope that this yes or no is not necessary right now.
However, it does not have to be a majority, and if a certain number of people need it, the administration will refer and adapt.
I hope that each of you will suggest a better way before that happens.

I won't answer yes, and I won't answer no. I think there could be a better way than another category, but at least it would be something.

Like I mentioned in another thread, there needs to be some form of official action/statement from SG's side to help keep the discussion contained and to ensure users keep a good tone. I don't doubt that the mod team are doing their best to deal with this already but I hope they're discussing a solution for the situation in the forum right now. It feels like it's out of control right now.

I also generally feel the same concerns.
If the guidelines were strictly insisted upon, some people might have said that an expansive interpretation of "begging" or "donating" improperly operated would exclude those people.
Of course, no one thinks that is a good thing, so the moderators and support did an excellent job of calling attention to individual issues and correcting course.

I don't doubt that the mod team are doing their best to deal with this already but I hope they're discussing a solution for the situation in the forum right now. It feels like it's out of control right now.

I understand how you feel.
But they can do what the community has decided to do, but anything more than that would be bad behavior.

I have a feeling that the guidelines may need to be modified based on the suggestions and

The exception to this is CG's comment.
Perhaps there could be a "pursuant" comment to what "Steam" has decided.
Possibly.
However, we need to consider the present.

  • Ukraine awareness thread (i don't know if 1 or 2 threads is better to avoid friction)
  • No racism (not a thread, just make it respect - because seriously some topics remind the reactions of defiance against the Chinese during the covid, i understand the russian gov propaganda can be harassing, but please just stop blind extrapolation, there are already some idiots in real life starting to harass random Russians, and it's a shame ! And no i'm not Russian.)

edit : thanks for the warning about the trolling bot

The problem of the topic administrator will probably arise.

No racism (because seriously some topics remind the reactions of defiance against the Chinese during the covid, i understand the russian gov propaganda can be harassing, but please just stop blind extrapolation)

These senses can be difficult in some countries.
Follow the guidelines, comment on what reason you were offended, and report it to the support ticket.
This can be done within the current scope.

And one more thing.
It relates to what you have fixed and added.

There seems to be a BOT roaming the Internet that plays Ukrainians and Russians to spark arguments.
It seems necessary to wait and see without forcing a reply.
Frankly, someone who used multiple accounts and tried to destroy this SG community has been dealt with by the moderators.
I don't know if the cause is due to hacking of accounts, but we need to be careful.

Rather than this I think an option to hide specific threads would be welcome. I do think SG should be for just games and all these recent threads are just making me want to avoid the website more...

Making mental health a priority may be an option.
Time to turn off the TV, close the newspapers, disconnect from the Internet, and do what you love is also important.

Here are some things you should not know.
However, if you know this information, you will not be able to avoid it.
You have expressed your opinion and do not need to read it.

But we know that no matter where you are in the world, you can get caught up in it because of it. Even countries that are not neighbors of Russia are aware of this existence and take it seriously...

I'm not sure, but I remember reading that they would rather not work on options that already exist through plugins. ESGST has the option to hide specific threads (and I've been using it extensively lately)

Maybe generalize a bit more and just make it a "real-life" category?

It's not a bad idea, 1 category for all the things related to news, history, or other real life events.
Or if not a category, just say goodbye here to all of these threads considering they belong to Twitter ?

Do you approve the addition of the category?
NO 84(66%)

Roughly a day has passed.
The current vote count looks like this.

For 21% of the total, this was a necessary issue.
For 66% of the total, it means that it is not that necessary.
For 13% of the total, it means that the topic of discussion probably doesn't matter.
(I think the hold up is that we are simply in the process of looking for a good answer.)

Some argue that add-ons are available and can be circumvented.

*Note that the script has stopped updating and there may be a Security issue.


ใ€€It is also believed that about 20% of people want it as a SG feature.

I think this is a story that has been largely answered by current community members.
They want to follow guidelines and stay away from "offensive comments" and "discussion topics" as a means of self-preservation.

I hope that future members of the community will understand the exchange that took place and the circumstances that led up to it, and that it will serve as a guideline for how to act without fear of a similar tragedy if it should happen again.

If anyone insists on the same thing again, I can tell you that this is after such a proposal has been made and everyone has finished considering it as well.

I will look at it for about 24 hours, and if there are no special circumstances, I will close this proposal as done.

I hope this "simple proposal" will give the SG administration, support and moderators a reason to work smoothly.
Thank you for your continued support.

Just don't answer to certain comments or threads and you all are going to be fine. Do something productive instead of engaging in obviously helpless discussions that do nothing but waste your time.

Just don't answer to certain comments or threads and you all are going to be fine.

For example, they don't think that the person they are talking to is a BOT.

Do something productive instead of engaging in obviously helpless discussions that do nothing but waste your time.

It would be possible to shut down the comment function and eliminate the discussion as well.
But common sense dictates that no one wants to do that, even if it is within the guidelines.
The moderators and supporters deal with them in various ways, but those who only see the discussion from time to time do not understand.

Then those people start bad discussions, which is ungentlemanly.
As if those people are the law and justice when no one is policing them.

Of course you are not.ใƒพ๏พ‰๏ฝฅฮ˜๏ฝฅ)๐Ÿฆ‰

Here is a summary of what is happening so that some of these "emotional overflowers" can remain calm.
The purpose of this discussion is to provide proof that what the moderators and supporters are doing is not "out of step with the community" in the future.
It will also help those who are "full of emotions" to use some of the "workarounds".

Some people can reason things out, others need a detour.
It was necessary to make this happen in order for them to remain good gentlemen of the community.

The ratio is not particularly different from that of the other day.

Globally, about 20% of the respondents feel the need to do so.

However, for the time being, those who avoid it with add-ons will avoid it.

ใ€€I don't know if the community will implement this as an official feature in the future, but perhaps there will come a time when it is necessary and It's not a majority vote for or against, but "how much demand is there?" That is what I mean.

In any case, please keep this in mind as a direction for each of us to act without panicking in the event of similar tragedy or confusion.
(You can also bookmark this page from the top right corner.)

Thank you to everyone who has helped make our community a better place by expressing your opinions and voting to make it better.

We hope that each of you will continue to participate from time to time, including with "suggestions" so that the moderators and supporters can take action without hindrance.
(I would not have asked for this kind of materialization and confirmation if I had not seen so many "this and that" comments.)
