      In my experience, that or “raid” is actually how people commonly describe this type of event

        Yeah, I think you’ve nailed why the headline bothers me. Nuked would be deleted whereas here they’ve swamped them with criticism. Tarkov players raided, the developers nuked in response.

      Like somebody else said, it’s a pretty common term for mass deleting posts and/or kicking users, as well as just deleting shit in general. If I was dual booting Linux and Windows, then finally decided to remove Windows I would say I “nuked my Windows partition”, or if I were to overwrite all my reddit comments before deleting my old account I would say I “nuked my reddit account”.

        Yeah but the players aren’t deleting stuff, they’re spamming complaints and using bots to do so.

        The developers may be nuking their own service to clean up, but that’s not what the title says.

          Oh my bad, yeah that actually is an atrocious title. I could see “carpet bomb” instead of nuke, but after realizing the context and my misinterpretation of the title yeah it’s fucking terrible.

        Eh if they are dedicated enough I bet a group could get a channel removed for breaking too many user agreement rules
