HMD meme

HMD

It's that time finally! Here's our How's My Driving? post. This sitewide meme will go up on the 20th of every month and it's encouraged that everyone post! Please post a list of your current in-game characters as a reference for other members to use for comments or critique.

Remember to keep it civil. Outright flaming will not be tolerated and we will deal with any hostile comments as soon as possible. Critique should be constructive. Offer ways a player can improve their characters, solve any problems you might have, etc. rather than just telling them they're horrible with no examples or pointers.

Likewise, this isn't a love meme. It's great to tell someone you think they're doing a good job or you love playing with them! Just give reasons for why you think they're awesome or what they're doing well. We're not discouraging positive comments. Love is great, but so is hearing why you are so you know what to keep doing.

Anon comments are enabled and IP logging is off for those who'd prefer a little anonymity, but please don't abuse this feature to be rude to other players.

If anything comes up, please visit the concerns page to let us know or contact us through any of the other various ways listed.

We appreciate your concerns, anon, and we're certainly keeping an eye on them. The last thing we want is for our players to become targets of anon attacks.

However, we have not seen any examples of hatred from outside the game, nor have we seen a mob of inappropriately virulent anon comments. In fact, most of the anon criticism we see on this HMD is polite, considerate and thoughtful; additionally, this HMD is not mandatory and any who feel uncomfortable with it may skip the meme entirely.

To be clear: we do not allow bullying, and if there are any threads you feel cross the line, please report them to our mod concerns post.

The conclusion we draw from the above is that the benefits of anon (allowing our players to be more comfortable approaching one another) outweigh the drawbacks of having the post unlocked.

The HMD will stay as is unless and until those circumstances change.
