Trolls have found other targets. I believe that Luthier has done the smartest thing in the last few weeks, which is to stop providing information which is only going to be used to continue to "slam" the product.
The only way out of the current situation is by delivering better code, not by providing more fodder for the grist mill.
I've read all 3 forums every day, and for the last month or more - have refrained almost entirely from posting. It's hard to find a thread to contribute to, as they all head "negative" in about 4 posts. The same trolls time and time again, can't resist the urge for a "drive by".
All forums look pretty much the same. I suspect there are a lot of folks like me, who have spent most of their time setting up controls, flying single player, testing and really getting to know the guts of the simulation and the behavior of the aircraft.
For me, I can't wait till MP is fixed. Why? Then those of us, who've dedicated our time to the flight sim versus those who've made a career out of "forum posting" get to meet in the skies.
That is, of course, less that very small number of the community whose real hobby is "forum expertise" not "Combat Flight Simulation".

Call me crazy if you want but i'll go ahead and agree with mister in the above quote.
My main difference is that i'm still posting on the board, posting a whole lot in fact, mainly answering questions about known issues that i've managed to learn about from others or through my own testing.
Communication is good and needed but some people just use whatever snippet they're given as forum ammunition: if it's lack of news they go "where's our update?", if an update is posted they expect it on the same day next week/they will ask when the stuff the update talked about will be ready for download/both, if they are told when the patch arrives they will be quiet until the day they can download and then it's a repeat of it all. Oh and if for some reason the patch is delayed to, god forbid, fix something and test it in a proper manner before releasing it, all hell will break loose.
For that reason mainly, i really hope the new community manager will also have mod status so he can swing the ban-hammer when it's needed and nip trolling in the bud.
Disagreement and expressing disappointment is fine, trolling is not in the message but in the way one conveys it. In short, if people display bad manners as a hobby they should take a few days off to sit in the naughty kids corner until they calm down.
There are perfectly fine ways to express disappointment with the sim and tell everyone it's not finished yet and they can even be useful: compile a list of known bugs and issues like Insuber has done in his thread, or do something that's actually useful to another member of the community
