User talk:Potatogamer

I know we had a difference of opinion regarding the DS3 situation. It was nothing personal to me. Please don't make it personal by making salty remarks on previous talk posts I made, specifically because I was part in those conversations. If you keep doing that, I'll have to report you.

Double checking your work = salty remarks equal to harassment. Gotcha.

I went through your contributions because you deleted more from my contributions than just the DS3 mod. Barely any of your contributions actually add something - 90% is you just straight up undoing changes by others or deleting stuff. Some of it is indeed warranted. But there's a lot of questionable reasoning, or reasoning along the lines of "probably not relevant anymore". And this wasn't just for my DS3 mod but RDR2 and Doom as well, which you all deleted. Whether by mistake or due to lack of knowledge - it shouldn't have happened in the first place or, if by mistake, happened that frequently. And this seems to be a common theme with you/your work.

In the past half year or so I noticed that whenever I started a new game and came here first to check for fixes or issues I should know about, the articles were becoming very lackluster in terms of fixes/mods/issues/improvements. I found myself not even bothering to come here anymore. At first I thought PCGW is just dying but now I'm beginning to feel like it's just you going around deleting everything. This isn't Wikipedia or your PhD thesis.

I don't know if you're just trying to suck up to Aemony and/or the likes of Kaldaien, but your behavior comes off as extremily elitist and gatekeepy, whether you agree or not.

"Double checking your work = salty remarks equal to harassment. Gotcha." Not per se, but you posted messages in talk topics that were already done for a few days and you originally had no part in. And yeah "Thank god you were here to put him and his fix in his place haha :)" and "Oh, another proper fix removed by gatekeepr Mrtnptrs? No way, I'm shocked! haha :)" indeed are clearly salty remarks. So, constructive criticism is good, but please don't make salty remarks and specifically target recent talk topics I was involved in. If you have feedback, feel welcome to post them on my talk page or use our PCGW Discord to discuss your concerns with others (and me of course.)
"Whether by mistake or due to lack of knowledge - it shouldn't have happened in the first place or, if by mistake, happened that frequently. And this seems to be a common theme with you/your work." You're picking out very specific cases where you pointed that something could be done better. Everybody can make a mistake or overlook something once in a while. Btw, on the Doom page I think most of my edits were valid and also provided reasoning. Just hope you're not putting me under a magnifying glass just because of some personal feeling of you towards me because of our recent DS3 encounter :)
"At first I thought PCGW is just dying but now I'm beginning to feel like it's just you going around deleting everything." This is very extreme, I'm often deleting fixes and information from pages that got left unsourced for years, are generic fixes that can apply to every game, fixes already covered by glossary pages, issues that are already fixed, very very questionable fixes etc. I do nothing without a seconds thought. So, yeah, maybe once in a while an issue should have stayed in, but very often they shouldn't. Please don't blame me for everything haha, I only edit a very small percentage of pages.
"I don't know if you're just trying to suck up to Aemony and/or the likes of Kaldaien, but your behavior comes off as extremily elitist and gatekeepy, whether you agree or not." What? Aemony is one of the main staff members here and one of the people with the most knowledge about PCGW, its rules and editing guidelines, so most editors try to follow his way of working and we often indeed ask him for advise. Just trying to enforce PCGW's standard way of working here honestly, if in disagreement, please use our PCGW Discord to talk to other members about this. I'm not a saint and not always right and might also sometimes interpret Aemony's words or PCGW's rules wrongly by accident, but I'm just trying to do my best. So, don't take this all so personal please.

I often also mention major cleanups I've done in the Discord with the specific reason of wanting people to check the work I've done and received some good feedback regarding it in the past, see PCGW-Discord

Just wanted to remark that I totally don't mind constructive feedback, but you doing it the way you did; hijacking older talk topics you had nothing to do with with sarcastic salty remarks, saying "it's just you going around deleting everything", saying I'm "sucking up to Aemoney and Kaldaien" (btw, how does the maker of Special K have anything to do with this?) etc. all doesn't sound very constructive to me. Next time please just come to me with whatever concerns you have, I don't bite. And if you don't feel heard or think I'm doing something systematically wrong, please then reach out to people on our Discord to discuss it with them (am serious, not sarcastic). Ok? :)
