Great post, Davide. Ben fatto e ben parlato.
I joined WGT almost 3 years ago and have enjoyed not only the game, but also some lasting friendships here along the way. I've climbed the ranks to Tour Legend and owned a large club for 2 of those years. Now I run a smaller club with like minded friends who just want to have fun hacking things up. During all that time, I've had nothing but great response from the mods here in the forum. (note: they also appreciate and respond to personal messages, quite quickly, I might add) I was also involved in the WGT Phone Call event that took place a while ago...too bad that didn't become a regular thing as I felt it was a great way to communicate.
As an owner, I've always tried to "tow the company line" and put myself in the mods shoes, so to speak. There are times when it's difficult to do this, when things don't quite go our way. It's easy to be an armchair quarterback and call the shots from one side...but the truth is, we don't really know what's going on over there on the other side until one of the mods pops in and replies to a post.
Over time, I've seen the WGT forums turn from a fun, positive perspective to nothing but negative mod-bashing comments. It's gotten to the point where a person can't even say anything in support of the mods or WGT without being immediately labeled a turncoat or sympathizer. It's so sad.
However, it's posts like these and also seeing new mods coming in, that give hope to those positive people who would like to return to the forum and weigh in with their 2 cents now and then. Keep up the good work everyone!
Fairways and Greens,
