I know that you had headaches about what to do and when to do it. And I assume that you had headaches concerning the step you took, finally. You gave slack since you believed in the human nature, freedom of speech and democracy, I assume. You took a bold step. But given the very special situation you faced, you did the right thing. At least, this is my honest opinion.
Thank you for that. I tip my hat and I am glad that I am not in your shoes.

Always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Elie Wiesel. Romanian born Jewish writer, professor, political activist, Nobel Laureate, Holocaust survivor. 1928 - 2016.

Of course under the new rules this thread does not fall into acceptable thread content, and may be deleted. But that's okay as far as I'm concerned, cause even this appreciation thread can turn ugly.
Thanks guys. And we don't intend to let the moderating pendulum swing back to the hard ass side either. Hopefully the new structure and clarifying what should be commented where will solve 90% of the issues. If participants would keep from calling each other out, that would really help too.
Amen. Maybe one day peace will reign, eternally (lawlz). You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
Make SimHQ a 'Channel of His Peace'....you may scoff, but in making slightly less incendiary postings (regardless of that incendiary's 'code' DM accuracy), we may all find that common ground we always had *sniffle*. The love of flight Sims. The reason we are all here.

'Goddammit, why can't we all just get along???!!!'
Imagine all the Simmers...... Living life in Peace.....*ahahahaha*, stop it John me belly hurts. Lovely thought, though.*
Right, enough of this Hippy nonsense and down to business. Flight Models.

The idea is to keep the different topics (see the forum headers) in their appropriate forums. This system will only work if we are able to catch off-topic posting in threads - before the off-topics take over. If you see off-topic posts in either forum - feel free to let us know.
Threads with a lot of mixed posts will have to be locked. If we catch the off-topic posts early, we can prevent this.
I think this solution is good - as it doesn't mean banning topics or individuals (beyond what already existed in the ToS). At the same time it gives everyone a chance to continue the discussions that interest them most in their own space. We'll see if it works.
