The entire Internet is largely too unmoderated IMHO. Just look at the hateful angry comments section below every video ever uploaded to Youtube or comments on just about any other website online that ever existed and had a comments section. People can't control their emotions in public forums, especially when they have complete impunity behind varying shades of anonymity and/or distance, etc. It is because of a general overall lack of civility that various websites/forums and other forms of communication feel the need to have moderation to begin with. Some such as GOG.com have taken a very light handed approach and err on not removing things unless something gets very out of hand, and there are people who appreciate that. There are many who think GOG does not do enough to remove hate, rage, bullying and other negatives from the forums too. Both sides have some strong points to their opinions on this and there really isn't an undebatable right or wrong solution. Other websites/forums choose to empower 3rd party moderators whom often are simply frequent members of the communities themselves who are later imbued with administrative rights to moderate individual forums etc. on their own, either within a set of guidelines, or entirely up to the person themselves. That's largely how IRC networks are ran in a way, each channel makes its own rules as good or bad as they may be, and as good or bad the admins might be.

I got the impression that CDPR imbued certain regular forum users with administrative moderation powers although I'm not certain of that as I don't use their forums too often. I certainly don't expect a company to pay one or more full time employees to go and police hoards of hateful angry Internet bullies day in and day out though, that's just not economical IMHO. So any system is going to have it's flaws in the end. A place where anyone and everyone can angry-shout at everyone else endlessly without consequence is a place that simply draws people who want to do just that, and all the peaceful civil people eventually just leave as they don't want to be involved in that, or else they're just intimidated and perhaps even bullied themselves. That isn't a good experience for anyone. I'd rather have forums online where a company or organization has the balls to either say "enough is enough" and moderate away the noisemakers to some degree or to delegate that chore to the people themselves to do it.

Will everyone like it? No, probably not, especially if they think they have been wronged by it or treated unfairly by someone. That's just part of life on and off the Internet really. The best thing to do in any communication forum is to always try to be as civil and respectful to everyone as one possibly can, and to avoid emotional situations. Not everyone can do that 100% of the time, myself included but we have to all try to do so as best we can in order to have decent communication forums to use, otherwise it's just an ongoing verbal violence war between hot heads 24/7. The verbal Internet version of the middle east so to speak.

So I'm a fan of moderation personally even if sometimes a few eggs get broken, even if sometimes I end up being one of the broken eggs. At the end of the day, there are more important matters in life to be concerned about than to let minor things like this get in the way of personal enjoyment of things.

I respect your opinons about what you said above, even though I feel differently about CDPR and The Witcher 3 personally. The game was way more amazing to me than even my highest expectations and I'm quite happy about that, but everyone has different expectations so I wouldn't expect for everyone to feel the same really. I'm looking forward to any games they do in the future and will break my general rule protocol and likely buy their prereleases in the days/weeks leading up to new game releases as I've had great experiences so far. If one has had a bad experience though then perhaps they'll do the opposite and that is fine too. If anything it's a sign of success really. There is a saying that if everyone loves you that you must be doing something wrong as the more popular something is the more likely it is to draw a wider variety of opinions that contradict.

The great thing is that we have so many options out there, whether it is the sheer number of games, the number of game sites, you name it. Infinite stuff to occupy our attention, but best to find things that are the most enjoyable experiences for ourselves in the end. :)

Peace.
