Tina can you change your forum name to a gender neutral name? I fear people will pull punches with you because you are a woman in a man filled geek land

Featuring anything that isn't NGNG would be a good start.

It is her/ his / it / thing decision on how she/he/it represents to the community and the internet.

I have no problem with guys even though my name is a blood purple flower!


However this is battletech. You guys reading my username would be thinking of this.
or this
(Both are called nightshade in BT/ MW. one is an aerospace fighter, the other is a atmospheric fighter.)



Even then we are now in a transition on the internet where females are getting more and more accepted and it may have a result with superior amount of males (seeing this is the internet, this is the main top destination for no lifes and desperate people) sure, you may get some creeps following you and trying to look cool in front of you or what ever.

However we are in a day and age where ones sexuality and gender is more and more accepted and there will not only be guys being randomly attracted to people.


I do not see the problem here.

The fact I see such a defense of a recommendation is validation of my point. Thanks.

Love this idea!

You know what, you gave me an idea on how we can make this an ongoing thing.
I'll make a thread on the Fan Created sub-forum shortly.

As for moving it somewhere else, might need some time to figure out where else it could go..
Any suggestions?

So glad that you are supporting this idea.

Should I pander fiction like the rest of you complimenting an unproven CM? Oddly I don't recall the same early bird praise for the last CM.... could it be because he was a guy??

Let's be honest Tina, your first test was the fiasco with the Clan Wave 3 Early Adopters Deadline change and we saw zero help from you to resolve it. So as it stands....

Score: 0 out of 1

Aaaaaand here's the negativity. Oh well.

My fault..... I expected a very high level of accountability from Day 1 from a new CM, specifically due to what happened with the last one. Now had the Clan Wave 3 Early Adopter promo and extension not been such a blunder, I might have overlooked the need to post....

Let me try your route... "Smile, we have a new stickied post!"

Because quite a lot of people in certain areas of the world and then some have a poor education system that doesn't really go into topics which includes this.

Also it doesn't prove your point, When I protest, agree, or explain anything, I often do it in a wall of text.

Go to the war thunder forums and go see my tutorials on some aircraft there or see my suggestions for simple topics like "add 2nd hero raven". Wall-o-text everywhere!

I know your rants... They are typically followed by TL:DR posts.

Just so you know I care about your POV... I hit "Add as a friend"

There's negativity, then there's just an obvious attempt to bring everyone else down because someone's having a bad day. Sigh.

Well I guess they are rants when they involve the whole IS and Clan business and quirks and stuff. But only because I am passionate of the game series and hate to see injustice like this. (For instance 4 warhawks = 1 Thunderbolt) (2 Awesomes = 1 thunderbolt)

But yea. I do talk a lot ^^;

Anyway I added you right back.

I personally didn't expect this kind of response. Normally when I go structure and use sources/ evidence/ logic/ reasoning or what have you to a discussion and talk in bulk people are rather like.

1) "To long, I didn't read but I know it's wrong and you are wrong because it isn't my opinion and my opinion is fact"

2) "**** *##*^$^#&!*%$% f****" -childish insults and cursing for no real reason.

3) "Well I live here / I work there / I learn there / I watch this guy / I play this (etc) and I know it more then you by default" + response 1.

I have very rarely found people respond maturely like that and you do have my thanks.

Don't confuse me with pure trolling... I wouldn't continue dropping money in this game if I wasn't as passionate. At the same time, I want to make sure our new CM does the job, and I mean the full job, since its a position that can make or break some games... And trust me when I say, the moment they open the Steam flood gates... she better have grown that thick skin and a commanding voice...

That is true, but the profile doesn't tell the gender (yet?) and names do not really dictate the persons sex.

Take the name "Nikola" for example, Girl name in english right?

Well besides english and czechs. It's a guys name in many other countries and languages.

Saint Nikola (Nicholas in english), Nikola Tesla, etc a few males named Nikola. In English this name is perceived as a female name.


However on topic of community manager... why are there not more CM's? Like the main one and then a few sub ones.

Great idea, great thread and one guy who spoils the fun. That's why I love Reddit where you can just downvote posts that are really "off".

Some games like Kerbal Space Program have one or two days a week dedicated to fan art. For example, music parody video Mondays or TheB33f Fridays. You should implement something like that. People would fight to make the weekly cut!

If that means more funny from you and TheB33f I'm all for it.

I never heard good things about Reddit =l Usually when people do not like something people go to Reddit because they are banned from the forums/ game, make a cult and start mass team killing, hacking, or spread extreme toxicity in the form of spreading negative feedback to the extremes.
