Everyone that is what I would call a viable member of this forums wants the updates and discussions with Oleg or Luthier. That is the crux of the matter that has been bantered around a good part of today.
The developers don't have to post updates or respond to anything on this forums. I don't think any of us wants to have a repeat of the old ORR days at Ubisoft.
Moderators have tried to keep On topic discussions in the update threads, but discussions get side tracked. After the first few hours it is very rare for Oleg or Luthier to make additional responses. IMO, I don't blame them.
Regardless, from a moderation standpoint all the fire is out after the update has been posted for a couple of hours...everything else afterward is just so much "smoke" and verbs.
It is important to have on topic discussions as long as Oleg or Luthier are posting the thread. When the negative stuff starts in they get back to work, which is more productive than trying to answer nonsense whines.
Report the junk postings, especially when the updates are fresh posted. Moderators get immediate email notifications and can usually deal with the trouble postings very quickly. Otherwise, we don't always hang on the forums... we have things to do as well.
