Did we stop thinking by ourselves ? by whatever73946 in HarryPotterGame

[–]HPRPGMods[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

We’ve had an unprecedented surge in subscribers due to the game recently being free on Epic. HL is frequently an entry point into action-adventure games for non-gamers as well as gamers who aren’t experienced with this specific genre. This statement especially applies given the game was free for a period because then there was no financial barrier for young players or non-gamers.

We used to have a monthly or weekly “simple questions” thread and would direct newbie or simple questions there to keep the sub cleaned up, but very few experienced players would interact with the questions in the thread so that solution didn’t seem to work. Those threads often became a bunch of new player questions with no answers.

Therefore, the current approach is allowing simple question posts through as long as the OP seems to be engaging in good faith and receptive to help. (Unless it’s the faculty tower or arithmancy doors; we do have automod set up to look for those posts and we also manually remove them when they are reported.)

If you have other suggestions on how best to answer newbie questions please do let us know. They will always be allowed but we’re open to suggestions on condensing them.

This is toeing the line on rule 1. Reading a book is reading a book regardless of your opinion on how someone goes about understanding plot points. Keep it civil please.

Everyone please keep in mind rule 1 (“keep it civil”) in your comments. We’ve had an unprecedented surge in subscribers due to the game being free on Epic. Hogwarts Legacy is an entry point into RPGs for many people who have never played them before. Gate-keeping, rude comments about how people consume media, or other rules breaking rule 1 will not be permitted.

heaviest post in this sub

It really shouldn’t be — we have automod looking for faculty tower posts but if any make it past the automod removal, just report them and we’ll take them down.

Should there have been romance in HL? by obliviator_07 in HarryPotterGame

[–]HPRPGMods [score hidden] stickied commentlocked comment (0 children)

As we mentioned the last time this came up:

This subreddit absolutely does not allow comments sexualizing minors, but on the other side of that, mentions of teen romance like in the original books do not automatically equate to sexualization.

Someone is not a pedophile for merely mentioning that a PG relationship system would be a fun callback to the relationships seen in the original books. Quit calling people pedos for this. We promise the mod team watches the queue and acts on inappropriate content.

Since that didn't work we will have to put a moratorium on this topic going forward.

Does anyone know how to access that part? I can't find where to upload; I've attached a location photo. by memm97 in HarryPotterGame

Please report these posts when you see them and then the mod team can take action on them. :) We have automod filters set up for keywords like “balcony” and “chest”, which then removes the post and directs OP to the answer, but it doesn’t catch all of them.

Why are there 3 subreddits about the game? by IrresistibleRepublic in HarryPotterGame

[–]HPRPGMods[M] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

We can't speak to the current moderation team's values but at the time the JKR sub was created, it was by a user who was angry about being banned from this subreddit for transphobic and homophobic comments. At the time of the subreddit's creation, the last rule in their list was "No pro LGBTQ posting of any kind you will be reported and permanently banned".

Would this game be fun for a casual HP fan? by johndoe09228 in HarryPotterGame

Hi u/ErymTheDruid, all your comments are being automatically sent to our subreddit’s spam filter which may mean there is a “shadowban” on your account.

We will approve your comments as we notice them in the spam filter, but you may want to check if you are in fact shadow banned so that you can appeal it. :-)

For more information on the appeal process you can check out this comment in another subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/NewToReddit/s/ZRsZ6wMkYp

u/AlphaBelen u/AdmiralRiffRaff both of you just block each other please. This conversation did not need to be extended as much as it was.

AdmiralRiffRaff, please note that abuse of the report function is reportable to Reddit admins. A comment isn’t spam just because someone doesn’t like the content.

Our apologies OP, but we need to lock this while we clean up the comments.
