    I see your point - I’m also happy with the current version. That said, I did purchase the app with the expectation of continued development. I’m not demanding major weekly updates in perpetuity or anything, but I don’t feel it’s unreasonable to want reassurance that the app you paid for hasn’t been abandoned a few months after release.

    (To be clear, I mentioned in another comment that I know this is normal for Sync and we will likely get more updates down the road. I can just also understand OP’s concern.)

    I have no concrete answers, but this was fairly common with the Sync for Reddit app as well. We’d go several months without updates before they’d resume for a while and then drop off again.

    I’m relatively confident the same will happen here, so updates will probably return soon^TM .





  • As someone who uses gold to buy WoW tokens for both game time and shop credit to make other Blizzard purchases, I have a hard time getting upset over this. I’ve been playing the game without spending money for years, and tokens are also how I buy both WoW expansions and other Blizzard games. Asking me to pay money for a month of sub time every few years seems reasonable, especially if this change makes it even the slightest bit annoying/harder for bot accounts.

    That might be better, but I’d still worry about people rep farming (for lack of a better term). Any time you give people a score, title, or other personal metric, you run the risk of people posting to influence that metric rather than to post for the sake of contributing content.

    It’s possible the good such a system could do would outweigh the bad, but it will definitely always have elements of both.

    While karma might help spam/bots in some ways, I feel like it would also lead to karma farming, which I’m personally happy to not have here. Maybe they could instead allow communities to set requirements for minimum time subscribed or minimum interaction (voting, commenting, etc.) before people could post? I’d prefer that be set per-community, though, and not a site-wide mandate.



  • You mentioned the Workshop, so I wanted to drop this forum post here in case you weren’t aware of the recent news. C:S2 will not have mods available on the Steam Workshop. Mods will be available through Paradox Mods - although not at launch - which will allow for cross-platform mods (yay!) but means you’ll need to use Paradox’s platform if you want them (not as yay).

    Similar to that, yeah, although I think the master/slave thing started earlier. (It’s a bit more blatant, tbf.)

    I agree that allowlist doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as nicely, but as long as it makes it obvious what the word means, I’ll go with it.

    In recent years there’s been a shift from “white/black list” to “allow/block list” in an effort to avoid the stereotypes associated with those terms. I wouldn’t say it’s the new norm yet, but it’s slowly becoming more popular.
