There are some trolls...they are out there, no doubt about it...But hey...don't ban cutting utensils because some nut kills someone with a knife. It's absolutely ridiculous to sidestep the theme of what I'm trying to say here. There were plenty of good intentions on the BOS Forum....guys who got pushed out, because they weren't team players... Respect is a two way street.

Listen...if people want to preach moderation, self-control, not posting the same point over and over again...etc...then that's great. But that should be their demeanor wherever they post....over there, or over here...anything short of that....is just hypocrisy, a point that is routinely pointed out here, in the free land of forums....

For Jason to use the F-word, or the Lord's name in vain, which are insults, even if he views it, tit for tat, that doesn't make it right. Moderators who are not in their moderator status, or Devs that are not in their 1C/777 status still have an obligation in my view, to set the standards that they purport to enforce on their forum. Now I know..they don't agree with me on that...and that's okay too. That's their right. But you can't preach to someone the dangers of smoking...with a lit cigarette in your hand, and expect to get any respect in that area. Unless you're a walking example of what not to do...

There was a new thread started this morning there that got deleted, and it had none of the above that you described.

Sorry but that don't fly. That forum is very heavily moderated with posts/threads that get deleted/hidden, that do not fit into what you have stated.

Now it is their forum, their house, they have every right to do as they wish.
But they are very cautious about posts that are getting posted there these days, probably for good reason...

Its that kind of behaviour that would see someone banned over there without a doubt, I got banned for saying a then ardent supporters use of a smiley was "silly". The BoS forum is one of the only forums I know where users routinely take screenshots of posts just to prove they existed because of how often threads and posts are deleted.

Yes Sharpe dear boy. Why is it you show a consistent disconnect to the conversation?

You have no idea. You weren't even in their employ until after the mood changed.

Unless you have proof that he is/was employed by them, do not do this.

Just seen they've gone back and deleted just about every post for a week in the developers thread.

I really want to love and promote this game. The graphics are beautiful and it has a lot of potential.

But the attitude of the developers is just repulsive.

And that could be the decider for me.

Stuff 'em.

Isn't he? I haven't seen him deny it.

My spider sense does seem to tingle whenever he posts. Might need recalibrating though...

when asked not to make unfounded allegations you reply inferring exactly what you were asked not to do? little wonder you fell foul of the moderation on a corporate owned board LoL winkngrin

Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not employed by any game developer nor do I have any association with them.

I know that humour isn't your thing, I've tried explaining it before but I forgot that I need to emote every little thing for you to get it.

lol yourself

awww, how cute... there's an attempt being made that BoS is DCS - however, there is a forgetfulness that some mods in the BoS forum were selected purely because of their narciness on the old UBI il2 forum.

whatever happened to Mantis?

I'm just pointing out that other games have similar policies on their forums.

Much like the sims themselves, the BOS forum cannot be compared to the ED forums, or any others for that matter.
I have never seen as heavily a moderated forum as the BOS one, to the extent that it is.
But it is their house and they can run it as they see fit. Those that choose to participate learn that pretty quickly nowadays.

Since I am the only mod at BoS who was a mod at UBI.. that I can remember anyway.. once again I can only assume that this is yet another of your backhanded swipes at me..

Once again you are talking completely out of the side of your neck with no clue whatsoever as to what you are talking about. You have no idea how I became a mod at BoS or why.. so unless you are a mind reader who can span continents with his perceptive skills you really should stick to talking about things you know about as facts rather than things you only think you know and would like to pass off as fact..

... and by the way.. What is narciness?

It's funny... my inbox is full of folks who think the moderation over there is pretty good.. particularly over the past almost two months.. In the past the BoS forum may have been a bit overmoderated.. but of late it is not and things are much more peaceful there and more like what a forum should be.

That of course is just my opinion based on what I see and what I have been told... You may see things differently.


Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.
