Blackdog, can you extend on what you deem manners? For example, a customer who is unsatisfied with the product, or the patch, may use such a thread as this to express their disapointment. Perhaps they appear rude? Will these posts be removed? And, similarly, are posts from users saying they are unhappy with the 3-D development, in this case,(when there are apparently more tangible issues which need improvement) deemed un-tasteful?
I can't stand the arguments which seem to underpin, and then take-over, every update topic, but then again, one can't help but think it's all part of the natural process of game-development. Some will be satisfied with spit-girl, for example, others may not be.
I think you're doing a great job moderating this board (I don't envy you at all) but I can hold my hands up and say that sometimes, before hitting the submit button, I worry whether I am wasting my time. There will always be a group of people who will react vehemetly to certain peoples' postings, whether it's needlessly destructive, or positively critical.
Sorry, I'm thinking aloud!
