We have some rules for this forums

[AndyJWest]

Sorry, Nearmiss, but I think your rules are inconsistent, illogical, and counter-productive. You are retroactively punishing people for posting to a forum that you set up before you established the rules, imposing a ban that nobody can verify (how can I find out how many postings I've made to the CloD forums? I can't - I can only find out how many posts I've made to IC forums overall), and most likely setting a trap for newcomers who will visit the CloD forums to ask for advice, unaware of the restrictions in this particular forum. If posting here could be restricted through software, it would be fine, but this is arbitrary and badly-conceived. Yes, some idiots stepped in to create chaos, but that is no reason to react in such haste.

I could have responded to you in a PM, rather than replying here, but I think that everyone is entitled to see my opinion of this. I will assume (unless you wish to contact me by PM at the UBI forums, or at M4T), that I have been banned, and will no longer post at 1C. Frankly, I think that, for all the trolling, sniping and negativity I've seen here, this is the single most misconceived action I've witnessed. The sensible course of action would have been to delete the 'pilots lounge' forum in its entirety, and then establish rules before reopening it, in my opinion - with no further comment. Instead, you have provided the snipers and trolls with more ammunition. The correct course of action when you do something without thinking about the consequences and come to regret it isn't to do the same thing again....

Woah!
Way to go Andy!!

Not that I agree or disagree either way as I like to play it safe and prefer to reveal my comments behind peoples backs in a sneaky, greasy kind of way.

Nooo! Not really! Just kidding fellas!

Yes you may, we are working through moderation issues. We are really trying to stop trolls that pop on here out of nowhere and start flaming.

To be fair, the forum would have calmed down in a few days. It is brand new and in all honesty there isn't much to be discussed about CloD in it's current forum. A lot of people that popped up in this forum are community members that have been with Il2 and now CloD since the beginning so to say that they came from nowhere is a little off.

Yes there were some out of bound posts, but those could have been easily been dealt with on an individual basis instead of the sweeping decision to delete every post from people that haven't met an arbitrary number that doesn't reflect their actual contribution to this community as it is over 10 years old and spans across multiple forums.

Yeah, I seem to find myself in the same position. Mind you I haven't posted much here as I'm one of those apparently weird people that (whispers it quietly) enjoy CoD on my low end system and have patience and faith in the Devs...................shock, horror.

The rules seem to have changed a few times, is this current list, the accurate one?
