Notice to whiners, complainer, troublemakers and other malcontents

Luthier made an excellent posting this morning in order to clarify the intents of IL2 development team. This should have quelled a lot of the negative discussions and tirades against the developer for not paying attention to this crowd.

I actually would have thought a message from Luthier would have helped restore some sanity and anxiety about BOB COD.

Evidently, that is not the case.

So read carefully... If your posting is reported you will probably get a ban. We have to restore order and civility on the forums. The BOB COD thing may have been the trigger, but we are adults here for the most part. It is time to either make peace or take it somewhere else.

Make discussions with other members as you would have that person make discussion with you.

Every reported post is read carefully. Now, Mods will act on the information they read, not on the reporting posters charge. If the charge is spurious it will be ignored. If there is even the slightest hint of reasonableness to the report the reported poster will get a ban.

Some of you are veteran posters. If your posting is reported your past record with the forums will be reviewed before ban. Your posting may be deleted, but even veterans that are offenders may get a ban.

Reporting members will not be disclosed to anyone.

We regret having to go this route.

This will go into effect within one hour...

It is now 8:13 PM in London, 2:14 PM in Mexico City, 11:14 PM in Moscow, 9:14 PM Berlin.

Nearmiss, it's obvious that there's a massive fail in the system somewhere.

My impression is that, as a moderator, you're getting yourself too much in the thick of it and taking parts, which, for a mod, is a big no no.

A mod is a firm but fair character, but above all he/she needs to earn the respect of ALL the members, which I am afraid you lost. Maybe you should consider stepping down from the role and leave it to someone else, it's just a friendly suggestion, no provocation or harm meant.

I came to this conclusion because your statements about Luthier's post are simply far from the reality, my humble impression is that you know nothing yourself and you're just trying to police a place that is obviously out of control, this for the lack of communication from Luthier, which is disrespectful to the forum member, which are primarily customers who paid to receive an unfinished product and have a right to complain within reason.

And Luthier, if you're reading this, the more you let this thing go the worse it will be, you have lost all my respect, at least Oleg would have the decency to keep up with the community, shame on you Ilya, shame on you.
