Even here on BUF all ive read is 90% of people blindly saying the game rules, refusing to admit any problems. And the only people whose threads get locked are the people who are speaking their mind against the game. Ive read alot of threads from banned users here that make alot of sense and theres no reason for the ban or lock.
Is this website ran by epic as well?
First, welcome to BUF, Ciffy_err...C.
Second, we don't close threads because people don't like the game. The admins and mods work very hard to try to NOT judge threads based on our personal opinions of the game.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people upset about this game. They come here to vent their frustration. That's understandable. You have to understand, though, that this creates two issues:
1) We have those exact same threads all the time, where one person creates a totally new thread just to say how much they don't like the game. We try to keep those complaints limited to as few threads as possible. Otherwise, as T2A has said, the forums would be a mess. We close threads that have nothing to add other than letting the thread creator vent, for the sake of housekeeping.
2) There are a lot of people upset about the game, but there are still those who love it. Unfortunately, the negative threads turn into fights between the opposing views. More often than not, the thread is simply locked in order to keep things from getting out of hand. If personal attacks or other actions against BUF rules ensue, then "infractions" (glorified warnings) may be given. I personally don't recall a single instance where someone was banned for expressing their displeasure with the game. Our mod and admin staff would not allow that to happen. If someone gets banned or placed on RO, they've probably received warnings for misconduct in the past (opinions do not equal misconduct unless they contain something like flaming other members, bypassing the censors, etc). These infractions are given to both UT3 bashers and lovers. Again, their opinion doesn't matter. Their attitude does.
Hope that clears things up a little.
