As Battlelog forums are shutting down on June 30th, I was surprised to hear that when people from Forumfield tried to create another FF thread in the new forums, it got banned. Why? Forumfield was arguably one of the best things that ever happened in Battlelog. People weren’t talking horrible things about each other, just socialising in a friendly civilized manner. Now apparently people can’t really do this here? Now they are considering other alternatives to talk to each other, and it’s definitely not gonna be these forums. Why? Is this becoming another generic forum page just to get answers for FAQ? You want to bring the community together, not divide it. If that is the overall plan for future, then I have to disagree with it. EDIT: I might even add that for some of these people, FF is one of the best things that happened in their lives. They met new people, made friends, and they might not be playing Battlefield on a regular basis, but they still continued to go on the forums. - Lanky - ---

100% agree. Well said Lanky. Those threads have been going for 1000s of pages, since pretty much BF4 release, don’t get rid of them now. ---

There were some people domnating the forum, and baiting and flaming those that weren’t a part of their platoon. So now we aren’t putting up with cyber bullying and the mods are actually not permitting this barbaric behavior in the forums anymore. Cyber bullying is a serious breech of the TOS and I personally thank the mods for eliminating those that would cause others serious grief. ---

I’m not talking about the Battlelog Forums or specific individuals. If they are causing problems, ban them. I’m talking about the Forumfield thread. Two completely separate things - Lanky - ---

I have a rule of staying away from situations like this, but this time I want to say two things: 1. For that post I would’ve personally delivered Lanky a 6-pack of best beer possible if I could 2. ‘Big threads’ (the AT and then FF thread) are the reason why I started hanging around the forums, which led me to getting involved in bug tracker in AHQ. Without this, I would’ve probably just kept on playing… or not. Who knows. What I mean is, me deciding to do something good for the community was a direct consequence of enjoying the participation in a place that, for overall forum standards, was the calmest, friendliest and least ToS-breaking by a mile. So, well, there is that. ---

Always. Nothing makes me more happy when new players are coming to the game and enjoying it, that is freaking awesome. But does it mean we have to destroy the foundations of a good community to embrace these new people? No. We as a community, we will do our best to show these players around and help them to be part of it, but we are not destroying our foundations just for them. - Lanky - ---

That thread would be nothing but nonsense for 20+ pages in one day. This is just an attempt to avoid mass spamming of threads for ease of moderation
