Who is the moronic idiot who is adding asinine subtitles and tags to our posts?

Example "21st century, cranky old luddites, hope and change, change is bad, change is good, no longer 1940, wahahahahaha ...." Added to Biggs poll regarding steam.

There are enough immature people on the forum without having one (the worst one) within the admin team.

Admin chief, please kick him, and never let him back.

It's not necessarily an admin, all forum users have the ability to add tags.

->Go to the bottom of the page in a thread and you'll see the tag box, click on the "Edit Tags" link and you can add your own.<- :rolleyes:

Don't mean to be contrary, but I kind of like them.

Let's me know the "mood" of the thread I'm entering.

Provides a little humor in these "life and death" discussions. I mean people's lives are at stake here, right?

Otherwise you would not all be so very serious 13 days before the release of the simulation you've all been waiting for at least 5-6 years now, right?

You've all got "channel fever", that's what I think.

S!

You must be right. Surely a moderator here wouldn't be so cowardly as to put a slur and individual attack on someone without at least owning up to it.

Can an admin disable the tags so who or what is writing it will stop?

I'm a little confused as to why you should make such an off topic request. And I can't imaine why you should have such a burning need for ladies accessories either. Perhaps if you start a seperate thread asking for assistance, there might be someone who could help you... Good luck!

You got that right!

IMO,what is the sense to attack anyone...when all I gotta do is ban them.

As a moderator, I hate to edit or delete postings, except when I'm overloaded.

I like them. Bit of humour to puncture some of the seriousness. Having said that, I wouldn't want to see every thread get them!

...and, no , I didn't post them

The purpose of tagging is to make your postings more search friendly.

Since most of the postings aren't worth much anyway I'd say it doesn't make much difference about tagging.

I like 'em too. As others have said, it adds a bit of humor to it. Juvenile behaviour? LOL

Acting on a computer game forum as if it was all srs bsns is juvenile IMHO. Besides, games are meant to be fun so why not try to be a bit lighthearted about it? Kids these days..sheesh.

Ahh I see. So in the post titled "Why in the world would I order from Ubisoft?", where just about every single poster states they'd rather order from Steam due to the monumental way in which Ubi has screwed distribution of this game ....... the admin decided that the tag line which best described the mood or content of the thread was .....

"Ubi Rawks"

This is the way moderation works on these forums, is it? Just asking, because most of the flightsim forums I've been on have had actual adult moderators who actually knew their responsibilities.

This is a new experience for me.

Yea, tbh they are irritating me. Same forum though that I get a warning for saying someone is being an idiot, while in another thread someone says people who are critical of the game are "bitching/whinners". Of course admins selectivly enforce forum policy.

Except when you get a Friday Update with the tag of OPIUM FOR THE PEOPLE. Seems sort of disrespectful to the members and buyers of the game. Are you saying OLEG changed and added that tag to his post?

In a climate where we're all over each other for the slightest difference of opinion, I think this is in poor form, and should be stopped if it's admin.

Sorry, I just came on today to catch up on the Fri-Update and saw that. Yeah, that one got to me. I usually laugh off or shrug my shoulders at most of what goes on, but that one seems pointed and unnecessary. I don't think Oleg would add a tag like that, and since I can't add tags to another forum member's post, then it seems it's admin/moderators that are doing it. Poor form and way to add to the alienation.

Actually, "Opium of the People" sounds exactly like something that Oleg might add to me. Oleg, unlike many of the people who hang out here has a well developed and sophisticated sense of humor, and therefor doesn't take himself so seriously.

We might all take a lesson.

That's not sophisticated. I've been in the forums for 8 years now, and have never seen Oleg take a swipe (even in jest) at the community. He may have wanted to, and I wouldn't blame him for wanting to, but it's not something I see him doing. If he has an issue with someones comments he addresses it personally and maturely. That was neither, and IMO alienates.

I HAVE heard him (er... read) say things like people always expect more... and that sometimes their expectation is unrealistic or impossible to implement, but I've never seen a childish swipe at anyone. I've always admired his restraint when he's been criticized as much as he has.

So no. I don't think he added that...... which goes to my original point. If it's admin/moderators, they are adding to the climate in here. And that's not right.

I should have been clearer.

We are looking into the tags on postings. Regardless, of their value to members.

It was Lenin :evil:

In 1843, Marx published On the Jewish Question, in which he distinguished between political and human emancipation, and made an early examination of the role that religion played in society.[3] That same year he published Contribution to Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right, in which he dealt even more substantially with religion, and which contains his famous remark that "religion is the opiate of the people".[3] Both of those works were written shortly before he left Cologne

Thanks NM. I'm not trying to be an obtuse jerk here. I'm just frustrated at the atmosphere in the IL2 community. These TAGS don't seem to do anything (for me) but aggravate and add to that climate.
