You have to question whether we should give people in asylums access to the internet...

People only see the fun side of forums, and not the dark underbelly where the crazies live
Lets see...Burn my house down? yep. Know where I live and going to kill my family? yep. Report me as a peadophile? yep. Ruin my career? yep. Kick someones pregnant wife in the belly? yep.That was a good one, from someone who had just received a 10 point infraction...
Thats some over the years.

Well it is very peaceful here, Bearcat must have missed a lot and they are still there

[JG52Uther]

Well hopefully he's made it so he doesn't have much to do.
TBH, theres not really much to argue about, until theres some screenies and WIP shots.

Wait and see.

By now I have really clear what I´m going to do:
When BoS reach gold state, if it is at the CoDs new quality "standard" they will have my money and good reviews. On the other side, if BoS is not at that quality ( like it seems its going to be for what devs are telling us in their forum ), then they will have not my money but bad reviews from me.

And so on until they can make an iteration that fits CoD standard, then they will have my money again.

I know, I know... You can tell me: "But this world needs support, because if you don´t support it at first stage they will not reach that quality standard you want". Well, I already give my support for CoD, so I´m not going to support more 1C products until they can offer what I really want this time.

Period.

Wooow! That's some dark twisted stuff right there. How can any sane person say something like that over such a small thing as forum ban? Imagine if you did something really harsh to them. Anyway, creds to you mods for doing what you're doing, I haven't been on my best behaviour always but I'm willing to admit if I did or said something out of order at least.

Probably far, far worse

I recognize many of the things you've been called and have tossed after you, Uther I've gotten quite a few death-threats etc. up through the years, and in some cases they've been utterly hilarious. Best one was one dude that said that he was going to have a friend hack my computer and then he'd come to my house to kill me. The funny part of that was that his friend worked at Best Buy, and that he'd have to travel from the Midwest US to Norway in order to do so

I've also seen quite a bit of the same behavior as you describe towards some of the moderators on flightsim.no, which is a Norwegian flightsim-community for MSFS2004/FSX. The mod started to actually moderate, since there was quite a lot of bitching, personal attacks etc going on. He ended up stepping down after he had people call him to yell at him because he DARED try to keep the peace there. That you post there with your full name doesn't make the case any better, of course.

Sadly, muppets will be muppets. Most of them aren't so tough when/if you meet them in person, though.
