Just letting you guys know this highly repetitive thread of things that have been already said a thousand times is a prime candidate for potential flaming among members.

So if things go personal between posters, or people start serving their speculation as fact, or a flame-war erupts in any other manner, i'll be forced to apply the forum rules and it will be probably locked, or some posts will be moved to the easily ignorable by all arguments megathread.

I've been getting lots of community feedback from forum members via PMs to not even allow speculative threads that might create tension in the first place and it's certainly within the forum rules to take some action against material that has a tendency to inflame the situation and is repetitive, but i don't like to apply "preemptive punishment" methods before i have a breach of the forum rules on my hands (in short, i'm trying to be fair and only act when people break the rules, not before based on my, admittedly not so optimistic, gut feeling about this thread).

So, consider this just a friendly heads-up to remain civil among yourselves, not flog a dead horse and not make personal attacks against other forum members and the developers. Otherwise it won't be long before another poster (or 10) will take offense to it and flood my mailbox, in which case i have no choice but to act accordingly and enforce the rules.

There are already a few posts that fit the bill (including the title of the thread), i'm just letting it slide for now and hope the guys will go back and edit them to be a bit more politely worded
