hi, me and a few friends started playing warframe a month ago, and while i understand the protest and its reasons it makes us new players have a really hard time as most answers to questions about the game are in the r/warframe sub.
some of the answers to stuff are on the wiki but a lot of them are not/ hard to find.
if possible i would like the mods to consider making the sub at least view only so that we new players could use the information there.
if that is not an option is there another place to find answers to common questions? the offical forum is not really helpfull
We ultimately have to find a balance between the different wishes and considerations in the community. There are those who support the protest and call for an indefinite one, and there are those who have been primarily relying on r/Warframe as a repository of information, which is inaccessible now.
Same reason strikes aren't indefinite: it's a tool, not an end in and of itself. The idea is to show Spez et al that he's got less power than he thinks he does, not to shut down Reddit indefinitely - you have to care quite a lot about a community to do the thankless job of moderating it for free.
I mean it's getting to the point where the mods are going to be faced with either capitulating and re-opening the sub, or Reddit Administration forcibly removing them to replace them with scabs who'll open it up for them. One way or another it's going to end up open again. The only question is which.
