Re: Promote/discuss your MUD on TMS.

Putting on my moderator hat for a moment, I can't say I agree. Having re-read the thread, it seems like I am not alone in this interpretation of your posts. Take some of the fire out of them in the future.

Molly's point, which I think is worth (civil) discussion, is that if a diverse group of site users (here, players who take the time to write reviews) are often negatively labeled or ridiculed, they're obviously not going to participate in the future. It's reasonable to assume that new contributors (articles, interesting forum posts, etc.) would come from users who were, initially, casual users.

It's analogous to keeping a MUD newbie-friendly. Maybe a new player comes on, and makes some suggestions that you personally aren't fond of. If you publicly blow that player off and say something like "New players' ideas are complete garbage.".... well, you aren't going to retain as many new players as you could.
