The community of Warframe is currently celebrating the dismissal of a moderator. He spoiled the story of the best quest in the game for new players.
What’s happening in Warframe right now? One of the moderators of Warframe publicly admitted on his Twitter that he deliberately spoils the story of the game for newcomers.
This caused a significant uproar in the official Warframe subreddit. Some users demanded that the developer Digital Extremes take action against such poor behavior from a moderator.
Others, on the other hand, were resigned and said that this moderator issue would be ignored just like the previous ones.
Why did he spoil the story? The moderator’s justification for his behavior was given in a tweet:
“Whenever I see a new player being dragged to Hydron by their friends, I spoil [the story of] “Second Dream” in the chat. If you drag your friends to Hydron (which actually comes after Second Dream), you’re ruining the game for them”
Former Warframe moderator
Hydron is a mission on the dwarf planet Sedna in Warframe. It is an endless defense mission where players can farm materials.
This tweet and the allegedly self-righteous behavior of the moderator were not well received by the community, because story spoilers in Warframe are a very serious matter and are not tolerated.
This is why this quest is so important: While spoilers are generally not well received in Warframe, the story of the quest “Second Dream” is particularly bad when spoiled.
Second Dream is considered one of the best quests in the game by Warframe players and brings a lot of excitement and goosebumps. That’s why the reaction to these spoilers was even more drastic.
This is how the developers reacted: In response to the community’s outrage, the developer Digital Extremes fired the moderator.
This is how the community reacted: The dismissal of the moderator is being celebrated strongly in the Warframe community. On Reddit, the thread has over 7,000 upvotes, which is quite a lot for a relatively small subreddit like Warframe.
The user YCarmello commented: “But I’m really glad about it. It seems Digital Extremes finally grew a backbone.”
This user refers to past incidents with moderators that went relatively unpunished. The reactions to the dismissal of the spoiler moderator were therefore exceptionally positive.
