Reddit's r/MMORPG Wins Friendliest Online Gaming Community Award

The online community r/MMORPG over at Reddit has won the Friendliest Online Community Award™ from Society Working For A Friendly Internet based in Tongling, China. The gaming community is receiving the highest honors for "it's outstanding commitment to excellence in friendship and tolerance." Reddit's r/MMORPG has long been a place where players looking to discuss their favorite MMORPGs, game mechanics, and find new games to play can discuss their passion with open-minded and easygoing individuals.

Society president Alfred P. Finkletoes released a statement congratulating the subreddit. "Nothing excites us more than to reward the most deserving community for its compassion and understanding. We ought to follow the subreddit's example. One day we may live in a world where all people can share ideas and opinions in a place of tolerance, a world where all people are free to speak their mind, a world that emulates r/MMORPG."

We would do well to learn from the egalitarian principles encapsulated by r/MMORPG. Far from perpetuating hivemind biases all opinions receive the same attention and differences in thought are celebrated. And their optimistic outlook for the future of MMORPGs is a constant reminder to look at the brighter side of the genre.

Redditor /u/xXmsismaiwaifuXx remarked on his experience engaging with members. "Every time I ask for a recommended game there's always someone willing to help me. And no one ever downvotes here. I don't even know why they keep the downvote button around!"

It certainly is a wonderful occasion worthy of celebration, and a proud day for all members associated with the bastion of video game tolerance. Hopefully more communities will learn from the shining example of r/MMORPG to create an atmosphere of friendly camaraderie where people can discuss their passion without prejudice. Good on you r/MMORPG.
