I just want to point out this is a symptom of the developers ignoring their base and having no meaningful communication with them. Nerves will boil and increased hostilities will happen if there is no relief for it.

Yep. Doesn't make it okay though.
Hopefully FDev will address the root cause as well as the symptoms.
To add to my post, that is in no way a threat on my part. Just a simple observation of human behavior. At least the community hasn't resorted to death threats unlike some other franchises.
ED PvP at it's best.
Hoping so, it shouldn't be in such a state while never being labeled as such officially though.

I am not condoning it just stating a fact. Do you remember when No Mans Sky first released? The developers recieved all kinds of abuse and death threats. It's not condoning the action by pointing out the fuel for that fire is exactly the same fuel for this one as well.

Don't discuss moderation actions. There are formal procedures to ask for moderation actions to be reviewed.
I've made some salty posts recently, and perhaps even pushed up to the line myself within this forum although I try not to claim any particular person is 'a liar' when dealing with company representatives even if the message they are being told to convey does not seem plausible. However I can not understand the lack of decency required to haunt people on their personal social platforms over some product I don't like. Nor to jump online in every event they host and are a part of to harangue them over an issue they clearly are not at liberty to further discuss.
Yeah, we get frustrated, and maybe even more than we rightly should over a video game, but learn to act with a modicum of social grace not some feral autist.

Not only this, but doing the opposite shuts all lanes to reasonable discourse. I’ve come across multiple threads where I would have chimed in but the insulting tone and sometimes aggressive language directed at the Devs made me rethink whether I wanted to participate in the thread.
So too much censorship can make the forums a “this is fine” echo chamber, and not enough censorship can turn them into a “this is DOOOOM” echo chamber.
Just don’t personally insult people, or imply that the reason for x or y not meeting expectations is due to incompetence, and then you can criticize the game without worrying about what Arthur is talking about.

Only if you promise to behave (and leave the axe at the door)I'll just go back to 'State of the Game' while you're all busy here
No! I disagree.
There are always two ways to post about issues & criticism.
1. Provide a reasonable statement in a logical way that makes sense & explains the issue concerned
2. Go off half-cocked, ranting, whining & insulting everyone in Frontier about the issues an individual cmdr is experiencing
.........It's not hard!!!
I agree 100%No! I disagree.

And this should work both ways.
FDEV should be more respectful in many aspects.
To start, they should at least follow what they promise (recorded in video).
I think the bit we are glossing over is this: "This includes, but is not limited to, private messages to personal social accounts of staff members." It would appear that people are finding out FDev employee's personal social media accounts and harassing them there. I remember a thread awhile back about people DM'ing Dr. Ross on Twitter and getting cheesed off because she blocked them. I doubt that Arthur's statement is wholly precipitated by forum traffic. I imagine that some FDev employee got yet another screeching DM and it was the drop that overflowed the glass.
It really is unbelievable to me that this has to be explained to people as to why this isn't acceptable.

No it isn't, it's a symptom of people with no self control or sense of perspective letting their frustration about a computer game get the better of them.
Frankly, go have a [you'll have to fill in the blank yourself with your stress relief of choice...]
I noticed some bad sorts behaving in an ungentlemany/womanly manner. Awful types, best left to stew in their own idiocy.
Pronounce it properly though, its your choice:
American English: Her A** Meant
Queens English: Harris Meant
While I am here, since when did we British have to refer to bass as 'sea bass'? Ridiculous. Did you know that Bass was the first registered trade mark? Thats the beer, not the fish.
Keep up the good work!
