[Discuss] Gaming Community and Culture

Not reply to this, but to highlight or make aware of the reality of online toxicity and what I wrote earlier.

Comparison to IRL, there are also existence, but managed by various channels.
Online, there are much less channels.

For some, sub-consciously, have accepted that things are what they are and the modern age generations just need to learn and cope.
For some, negativity is unacceptable regardless.
What I want to say is, while we learn and cope with this “issue”, we also need to take the fight against the negativity.

I will use the following example:
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/hearthstone/t/new-player-beginner-decks-to-help-bridge-the-gap-part-1/

22hrs later, 30+views, no appreciation even thou poster has put in much effort with edits and refinements.

As a community, what are we sending as a message to him/her?

Recently, we have seen some post of people that asked for help or “coached/help” others breaks personal best and attain new Rank heights. Are these what we should be concentrating on and participating in discussion more?

As a Dev/Mod, is there anything you can do to encourage/support these people?

or is it beyond what I sign up for?

(A simple :blue_heart: is the least we could do. Every little thought and action helps.)
