Community Management - Is It Really That Tough?

Stratics has an OpEd on Community Management, which features amongst others our very own Alyra :)

"We do visit all product-related sites, but communities that allow rampant bashing and flaming make it very difficult to gather feedback due to the amount of constructive feedback and moderation being almost nil. Forwarding player feedback is very important to me, but it does need to maintain a certain level of maturity and constructiveness in order for me to do so." ~Alyra - Community Manager, Lineage II

Read the whole interview and Alyras answers to the interview here. (http://www.stratics.com/php-bin/show_content.php?content=24649)

A wonderful article by AutumnKiss.

It was a little long, and the formatting had a little to be desired, but overall the article was a good look into something we take for granted.

Yeah, the formatting is due to issues we're having atm. :(

You guys have a lot of issues lately :(

I guess that happens when they have more material and guides than other sites

I have a large fan to help that fire.

Doesn't look like Stratics is the only one with the issues at the moment. ;)

But do they need tissues?

Humm. I guess that leads one to believe that most of the bits o letters here stay here, kind of like Las Vegas :o :o :o :o

j/k folks. We know there is gold in them there hills - right?!?

I didn't find the formatting to be a problem at all. Good work AutimnKiss.

Thank you Pamean. And yeah, it was supposed to be better formatted, but that didn't work. Glad you could enjoy it anyway. :)
