  • I don’t get it. I modded one community with about 30k users, maybe 5% of which was active. The only thing I ever did for years was remove obvious reposts by bots and sticky weekly discussion threads. Communities normally police themselves decently well. Past a critical mass, I’m sure it gets a it harder but unless it’s a personal attack or completely unrelated, let people vote shit down.

    I also don’t know why you’d want to be a mod of 45 subs with millions of users each. Shits shady AF.



  • As much as I hate to say it, Ubisoft has a really solid game on their hands. Some issue with netcode and I think the XIM/Cronus use is going to rise pretty quickly, but other games have dealt with it before. I’ve enjoyed the few hours I put in so far and will be playing it tonight with the boys. I’d like to see a classic TDM but hotshot works for now. Also a really cool take on the Kill Confirmed gametype




  • It’s much less of an issue now, likely due to anti-cheat and also the current bans in other countries so it’s not really spoken about much anymore. Honestly, if people wanna cheat, go for it, especially in a game like this. There is a bit of worry about effecting major orders an inordinate amount, but even then, it would probably be a small amount.

    Because it’s group rewards. That person gets 2k super samples, you also get 2k super samples. It, by definition, ruins progression for others.

    Might not have been clear in initial comment; on launch, people were joining open groups and cheaters were spoofing the rewards. So when a mission completed, you got a bunch of mats and stuff and your account was basically bricked for “progression” unless AH did a manual rollback.


  • I’d argue nah, cause JNCO jeans were huge when I was in middle school, and those are like…comically baggy. Like the bottom cuff would swallow your shoe. Even with standard jeans, boys showing ankle was a mortal sin, (for girls not so much, skinny jeans were in but I don’t remember anything specific against baggy clothes either) and it was a huge issue in the school with people wearing saggy/baggy pants and hoodies that were too big. And this was early 00s, and through high school as well. Some “groups” did the skinny jeans in high school, namely like emo kids, but they’d still have other articles of clothes that were baggy.

    I think a lot of it is algorithm based. Interacting with anything is going to start skewing the page, and it builds an echo chamber of “this generation has a bad opinion”, when the reality is not so. Everything is driving engagement, and rage is always a top factor in engaging.

    People have cheated in the samples and req slips and such and ruined progression for others. It’s not the same as competition cheating, but the “point” of the game is the grind, and some lost out on it. I think AH rolled back most of the effected accounts though, but it’s a little deeper than just no PvP = cheats sorta fine
