Congratulations to all the new colonials! Enjoy the mods!

Congrats folks enjoy yourselves and the new content.

Sad to see more lose their rank. Hopefully they'll regain their activity and keep contributin to the community.

Sad to see some not understanding the point of the community. I'm not saying those demoted did it, but I'm sure some have, that being just downloading the mods and NEVER giving feedback. It's a shame really, but oh well. Hopefully they will change their ways and rejoin the colonials

Shame to see people who don't care about the community. That's really not right.

Well I just hope the discrepencies stay within that window. I'm going on a cruise with my wife soon and I don't want any misunderstandings if I don't have time to post.

If you are gone for a week or two it will be fine. These people were demoted because they have been on the site (i assume downloading mods) but not saying thanks, giving feedback, being active ,etc

@gav07Gaming yea i mean it makes sense for them to have their access restricted because it means they became a colonial JUST for the mods and not the community like it should be.

Man that sucks for them, once i earn the rank of the Colonial then i wont leave because i have the mods i want. At first i wanted just the mods but now i am staying until i reach my 2000th post on here. This is the best gaming community i have ever meet. And i don't understand how you could just want to sign up here just for the mods.

Wow, can't believe someone could be so transparent as to just make Colonial then not even make the effort to post even once a month. Like at that point, it's fairly obvious what you're doing, you aren't even trying to keep up appearances and are just there for the mods. It is not hard to post once a day let alone once a week or month, not doing that's just plain sad. Also, what if someone stops being active, but their last view time is the same as their last post time, would they be demoted as well?

@eggman249 Nope, they wouldn't be demoted. People have lives outside GUN and we understand that, some may be too busy to connect and it would be too unfair to demote them just for that. We demoted this people because they kept visiting the site but stop posting, which suggest they just want the mods. So, if all they want are the mods, they already got them and there's no need for them to keep being colonials.

It's a bit unfortunate that they are getting demoted but it does make sense why you guys are doing it. It baffles me why they wouldn't like to take part in this community but that is their choice I guess.

I know i came for the mods but like a lot of people have stayed for the community. This is one of the best modding communities i have ever been on. Im planning on staying for a long time

Goes to show you who is really here just for the mods and whose here for the community

You know, maybe there are reasons besides that which you have stated - "just for the mods" - that people haven't been posting. For one, this site is focussed primarily on modding and, more specifically, Fallout and Elder Scrolls. Now, that's perfectly fine, but what happens if I want to discuss stuff outside of those areas, areas where the site appears to have no community for?

There was a good long while where I was inactive due to a busy schedule, then I found another site that had a community centered around other geek stuff that was not modding or Fallout/Elder Scrolls related, and that was where most of my sparse free time went. In fact, I would not have checked back in here if someone hadn't posted to my port thread - a notification that, incidentally, has lain in my inbox for a good long while.

So if there is a rule that says "you have to post at least once every month", then fine, this site is probably too demanding for me. But the rule is, apparently, to "not have too large a gap between postings and visiting". Now, I was not aware that such a rule existed, but, like in real life, that's not an excuse, so I'll own to that.

Most tellingly, I have not downloaded any mods - or anything else, for that matter - off of this site since my last post. Saying "they come here only for the mods" is unfair, but then, maybe I'm being too vindictive.

"Boy, that post is sure bitter," you say. Yes, I realize that. But misconceptions and generalizations have to be corrected, or, at least, an alternate view has to be posted, especially when there are people shaking their heads sadly going "tsk, tsk, tsk".

What a shame demoted members , i'm sorry for you guys
