I'd rather the moderators didn't even waste that much time. Just remove our posts, no need to paste elsewhere.

Just remove postings...you say

Deletion of postings should not be required.

Most of the members on this boards are adults.

In tune with the requests on this thread. The coming update thread will be more severely enforced. No big deal, 1 week bans to members posting off topic - first offense. It will not matter if you have been a member of this board for 3 years and have a good record. OFF TOPIC IS OFF TOPIC, no warnings.

The current update thread is locked because of all the OFF TOPIC postings.

Report OFF TOPIC POSTINGS when you see them. Moderators can't read every posting 24/7.

Thanks

yes

my questions/comments rarely get answered or responded to, which is fine, but it's even more pointless when they're sandwiched in 40 pages of off-topic discussion, usually in between two posts with 5 2000x2000res pics showing the type of TP the luftwaffe wiped with.

I vote definitely for a more severe moderation of the update threads. I don't mind about people complaining or criticizing, but I cannot stand the deluge of OTs, the quarrels between the usual 2 or 3 people going on for pages and pages, and the nonsense posts of people having 1000+ posts (of mostly nonsense).

It's evident that someone posts their nonsense in the update thread only because they will get more attention there than in a dedicated nonsensical thread.

Nearmiss, I approve your decision of 1 week ban for OT posters ... go on mate (hopefully you won't mismatch again my nick with another one, posting BS ... :D).

Cheers,
Insuber

Anyone remember Olegs Ready Room on Ubi.com?

Then y'all know exactly whats a comin'.

I approve of this fully, and suggest that more severe moderation be applied elsewhere as well.

Sorry we use a flame thrower not TP :)
TP is for softie Allieds.


Just reset their post count to Zero :)



Nearmiss /and other moderators.
I dont envy you :)
Its a tough job getting the balance of it right, you want to have a flow of topics to have an interesting forum,
but not at the expense of poor quality material and subjects and upsetting others just for the sake of it.


S!

Yes please stop the offtopic nonsense!!!!

:)The voting figures say it all.I have given up reading the update threads,i just click on Olegs posts,my browsing has gone from alot of minutes to seconds.
It unfortunately does mean i miss out on the few good posts but you leave the rubbish ones alone.

ROFL, see what ya'll have done? I predict drama when some old timer gets a week ban from something questionable that someone has reported to a mod. Nearmiss will have pulled his hair out by Saturday. Sorry Nearmiss.

You have my condolences. I've done it, being a mod is a thankless job. Now because things were perceived to be too far one way, you have to swing it back hard the other. Seriously, thank you for your efforts and good luck in trying to keep everyone happy.

It reminds me of when my pitching coach used to come out to the mound to talk to me...."Don't give him anything to hit and don't walk him.". Good luck!
