Bring out the ban hammer!

Just throwing it out there: this forum could use a mod with a heavy hand.
Every day it is “Scripted BS! R2 ruins my life! [censored] everyone who isn’t me. Contact swing is worse than when my mother died of cancer! Quick pitching killer my nephew! Someone undercut me by 1 stub and I want to set his house on fire!”
The worst part is, that is the civil/productive part. From there we get to “this is your online record, you don’t get to have an opinion. Get gud. <insert bevy of personal attacks>”.
There are perfectly decent ways to complain/suggest improvements. “Hey SDS, it seems like tons of bombs are being hit with contact swing. Is anyone looking into that? It’s kind of Messing up the game for me.” Accomplishes everything that a massive toxic rant does.
Long story short. I have a suggestion: SDS, can you start suspending or banning the people who make these forums horribly toxic?
I understand your rage my friend and your need to vent. Everyone is effected and called to action by different catalysts.
I'm not necessarily sticking up for those that want to share their experiences in a heated fashion but, the fact is, there are things about this game that even the most open-minded will say is "scripted".
So, put yourself in the shoes of someone that "perhaps" has suffered through 3 or 4 straight games of these "unusual" events. Maybe they have some sense of pride in their records. They watch their records being destroyed, their commitment and practice just proven irrelevant by a game that seems to run on it's own frequency sometimes.
Again, even a patient person can lose their cool when things go south despite their best efforts to maintain. So try to be understanding and let others vent as you are allowed to vent about them and their actions.

Start by banning the OP ^^^

The block or mute function is your friend

I’m sorry but does anyone else find it hilarious that a Patriots fan is wanting people banned for cheating?
-
Your game history says this didn't happen. LOL

While it's painful at times on the forums unless someone does something against TOS they can't just ban someone for being a troll
and even thats a stretch, the past couple days there has been some foul [censored] has remained up for far too long

Well, they can but they probably won't.

Banning people who are critical of your game seems pretty harsh.

Not about the complaining of the game as much as it is how they complain about the game. And there is a big difference between the two.

I have zero knowledge as to whether anyone directly affiliated with the company hangs out on this forum. I suppose I would be surprised if that wasn't the case though.
I would say they are the ones that really need to be thick-skinned. It's their product that hanging out there for all to critique. They likely get tired of the bashing too. I'm guessing the bans might start not so much with the way someone is addressing it..as that someone is actually pointing out obvious truths.
It's not so tough to just laugh at people that make SWAG's about your product. But when they start nailing the true nature and exposing some weaknesses and beleaguering the point for the world to see...it would get old. And it would be hard to deal with. Probably why they ban folks because some just don't like the constant reminder of the glitches and what not. I wouldn't like it.
Not to mention it probably isn't good for marketing and PR.

I don't think anyone at SDS is thin-skinned to the point that they wouldn't be able to handle criticism of their game.
There's constructive feedback that points out flaws in the game...
And there's being an obnoxious, rotten, little punk on a forum because one "feels" they are invincible on the internet! These are little, puny punks that have absolutely no self respect or respect for others and it makes them feel like a big guy by being a wannabe bully on here. These people are the lowest scum on Earth! It is these people who are the thin-skinned people!

You can’t ban for that. Only trolls or gratuitous cussers or griefers. I could give af about bombs on contact swings. I get more made at the amount of seeing eye single and Texas leaguers I give up. Meanwhile I hit 4-6 to the track and lose bc my hits are all outs abs the opponents hit a 14 Texas leaguers. It’s the timing window on all star please

You got banned for dropping multiple F and N bombs. You could have sold your 12-0 reward for a million remember? You ARE the coward that is being talked about.
Everytime that happens some new “Showlegend” or “SDSprodigy” shows up and tricks people for a few days then reverts back to his toxic BS and starts breaking down 6 page rants about a game he “just picked up”
