Problems with Community

I’m sorry you don’t like the rules, but there’s a reason why we have them.

An important thing you need to remember that this is a forum, and has different etiquette to that of most social media platforms you will be familiar with (i.e. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.). One important part of this is the category system - forums are organised by design, which is why posts are put into correct categories.

I suggest you have a quick read over the forum etiquette post I made a while back:

I’ll tell you from experience, you’re more likely to get a good outcome from a feature request if it isn’t a duplicate (which is why we close duplicates, and encourage users to search). It’s easier to find an existing feature request, comment on it, and give it more exposure. The developers are more likely to notice it than thousands of posts on the same topic.

And flags aren’t directed at you - make sure you follow the rules of each category in order to avoid receiving flags (and you’re not the only user that receives flags, by the way) :)

You may find the rules stupid, but it’s the only way to keep this place working nicely, as other mods and long time users will agree. We value feedback, but remember that there is a reason as to why we have the rules in place that are here today.
