Common Community Mistakes

Abandonment

Problem: Silence between updates Fix: Consistent small updates beat rare big ones

Over-Promise

Problem: Announce then delay repeatedly Fix: Under-promise, over-deliver

Tone Deafness

Problem: Defensive responses to criticism Fix: Listen first, respond with empathy

All Promotion

Problem: Every post is "buy our game" Fix: 80% value, 20% promotion
