QuoteNowhere in my job description does it say that I can't express my opinions. My job is to approve new registrations, move misplaced threads, and enforce the rules; anything else you think I should be doing is your own ignorant bias and wishful thinking.Then by all means continue to do what you're doing.
QuoteNobody needs direct personal experience to see what's been happening and recognize poor marketing. It's a fact that you've been secretive about what the hardware is and what exactly it does (hybrid emulation, lulz), it's a fact that you've officially announced and missed several reveal dates and pre-order openings, and it's a fact that you went nearly a year without any news on your official site. There's plenty of the same points being made on your own forum for crying out loud.Speaking for the project, it's not at all about the merits of what you said, which actually is open for healthy debate, instead that as a mod - you hold a position of authority which makes your comments hold sway above and beyond that of a standard forum member, and by using this forum / platform to comment, you express bias that potentially could prevent other members who might have otherwise been open to expressing a counterpoint from engaging in meaningful discussion. It's not surprising that many of the people who have seen / played / vouched for and reported back to this forum their experiences using the system are no longer around.
I understand the reason for being quiet (protecting yourself from potential competitors and having investors instead of crowdfunding), but that doesn't change the fact that you've left your audience hanging in the wind for over a year with nothing but "just wait, it'll be great, trust us!". It's not hard to see why people are skeptical about it ever coming out, as there's little difference between the way you're acting and what was seen with various vaporware systems.
As a PCEFX forum member, I will happily debate the merits of what you actually said from an informed insider position, but it's so far off, it's not really even worth the time and effort.
QuoteYeah, no doubt the recent chatter about bad mods is all about me and not a certain canine.Misquoted me. I said I've heard rumors that the op situation here was bad, not that it was or wasn't fact. What is a fact, is to see smack talking directly from the mods shows that there's a serious lack of professionalism going on. The only thing seemingly idealistic on my side is the expectation that a popular forum mod would have some integrity.
QuoteGood for you. Maybe you'd have more support and less skepticism if you'd actually engage with us instead of dismissing legitimate concerns as 'trolling'.It's not our policy to engage "legitimate concerns" on forums that are not ours as it directs traffic to sites other than our own. The team answers every thread that is posted on Polymega's forums. The only reason I posted here is because as card-carrying PCE fan and member of this forum, I don't think the mods should be expressing bias that would prevent fair discussion from occurring. Which is what you're getting flack from me personally for.
QuoteThis isn't your forum. I don't delete posts and threaten bans because of dissenting opinions and simple complaints.Right, because if it was, you'd already be demoted.
Here's a nice image of the PCE.
