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.

If we're not supposed to take anon crit, then why is anon enabled on this open post?

Doing this and having that as a rule is as contradicting as a lot of their other rules for game and characters. Maybe have a look at that too otherwise both of our concerns don't matter.

They didn't say about not taking anonymous crit.

They said about not taking crit from anon communities, ie rpanons etc, where half the stuff posted is shit-stirring from bored trolls not even within the game.

There's a difference between coming to the mods directly (even under guise of anon) and going the anoncomm route.

As someone else said, what I like is that the mods aren't taking their cues from the anon communities, like wankgate and rpanons. Critiquing anonymously for the HMD, to the mod concerns post and other such things are perfectly valid and quite common in a lot of games. Even when airing legitimate concerns, most people don't like the stigma attached to doing it, especially because people in this game have already proven to be pretty touchy and just as likely to run and wail to the aforementioned anon communities in an attempt to stir shit.

Not everyone does react that way, but since most of us don't know each other very well, it's far more comfortable to be able to test the waters under the veil of anon when opening the floor to critique.
