ENWorld Edition Bias

[Morrus]

No I am saying that pro 4E and anti 4E commentary are moderated differently. I would love to see stats on the subject like pro 4E threads locked vs edited and anti 4E threads locked vs edited

You are absolutely correct.

Now think about why that might be.

Anti-4E threads tend to get moderated more often than pro-4E threads. This is because Anti-ANYTHING threads tend to get moderated more than Pro-anything threads.

The reason for that is very, very simple. An anti-anything thread is far mroe likely to have arguments in it than a pro-anything thread.

Negative threads get moderated more because they tend to contain more examples of rule-breaking.

Nobody is ever going to get moderated for saying "I love 3E".

Not at all. I post what news is sent to me.

Unfortunately, it's pretty much impossible to post about new 3E products from WotC, unless I invent fake news. The news is what it is - it's about what IS happening, not what we WANT to happen. And, unfortunately for all the 3E fans out there, there IS more 4E news than there is 3E.

I include Pathfinder news when there is any; I include any 3E news sent to me by 3rd-party publishers. I include EN Publishing's own news, which is all 3E (War of the Burning Sky is for 3.5).

But no, I don't create the news; I just report it.

Well if that is the cast then the impetus is on people like me to send you through more links when we hear of news on Pathfinder, KoboldQ, OpenDesign, RPGSuperstar, etc.

I'm fairly sure I have't missed anything (except for over Xmas) on any of those four tihngs in particular.

Well if you want to be commercially viable, you should really take a few cues from Fox News and start getting creative

The switch from the "Search cloud" to the "Tag cloud" knocked Pathfinder down a peg or two.

I can't decide if that's a pro-4e bias or an anti SSOASS bias.

I miss seeing SSOASS over on the right. I used to whisper it to myself every time I got agitated. "This thread is SSOASS."

To me, the board seems to be pro 4e and pro 3e, and negative comments attract the attention of mods. That seems to throw a lot of people.

Te dfference is that the "Tag Search Cloud" showed which tags in the cloud were being clicked on - so an established tag was only ever going to grow larger. Pretty pointless.

The Tag Cloud shows which tags are being used.

Gotcha.

Ergo ENworld is biased first and foremost to D&D, with a tie for 2nd place between 4e and House Rules...?

I play D&D (well, GM mostly).

Doesn't matter which edition it is.
