Who would you invite into your home? The guy who gushes about your decor and really likes the breed of dog you have and loves your cooking or the guy who continuously tells you that you're doing everything wrong and makes sarcastic remarks about every thing you attempt to do and says I told you so at every possible opportunity?
Customer or not, the forums are their home and we're visiting. We paid for the software on the disc (or in the download), not for carte blanche to act like pricks and then defend it under the so so often misused category of 'constructive' criticism.
I've seen plenty of people on the forums who are able to make their concerns about the game known and offer suggestions in a way that is in no way contrary to the spirit of being a contributing member to the community.
I've also seen plenty of people who THINK this is what they're doing, but they really need to work on their social skills.
And I've also seen people who like to try and make a game of being as snide as they can with their criticism, pushing the boundaries of the moderators to try and drive them into an action that they can later use as more evidence to support their points, points which seem to be entirely counter productive to even being involved with the IL-2 community in the first place.
I'm surprised more strict forum rules weren't put in place months ago.
