How about a community truce?

Maybe it just plain isn't.
Could be that simple actually.

This will never be what Frugals was of course but maybe what it was in the bitter end with big ego's slapping eachother convinced they could make their "opponent" have the same opinion as theirs (wait, aren't we there already?).

I think it's sad that we have to sit in here arguing instead of talking about how great the game is, I think once we all stop being beta testers then things will improve. I just think many people are annoyed because they didn't buy into testing a game they bought into it to play it.

There we go..

And if thats not bait for the 'usual suspects' i don't know what is...

This is why my first post here is my honest opinion..

I've simply put the worst 4 ...forum members... (aka "The Usual Suspects") on ignore (haven't done this before on ANY forum I've ever visited) and since then find the forum FAR less tiring.

Seriously! You think that is bait?

I am utterly fed up with the usual suspects on both sides, the only way to stop the usual load of rubbish is an outright ban on these individuals.

They have caused enough trouble already!

And instead of warning and closing threads just ban the culprits if it spills over to other threads.. pretty simple..

Tiring how EVERY thread turns out the same, the devs always wait til it's erupted before acting imo, warning signs were probably 3 pages prior..

If you ignore the rules and post in the civil section then your get a warning and thread closed straight away, if the 'defenders' take a cheap shot before its noticed then they get banned/warning

Easy as pie

This. But then the application of any penalty should be applied fairly to each side, irrespective of viewpoint. It seems to me, perhaps incorrectly, that one side of the coin is always treated less harshly than the other.

As MACADEMIC said though (before his post was removed), the original MP thread was so clumsily censored over what was originally a very well though out and argued topic it defies belief.

Original thread is temporarily gone for a clean up, as I don't currently have the time to trawl through 20 odd pages of O/T immature arguments.
When its cleaned up it will be back. A perfectly well written post ruined by the usual few people who only seem to come to the forum for an argument.
Thanks for your support though.
