Request to the moderators

[klem]

Would it be possible to give some threads, like the BlackSix update threads, a special status? Particularly the 1C information threads.

These threads would be heavily moderated to delete anything that isn't a question or answer relating specifically to the original post content. This would help us find On Topic material that is interesting, informative, etc.

For example in the latest update thread
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=29368
- incidentally drowned by 226 posts/23 pages in just 10 hours - there are questions relating to the aircraft info released in the OP ("will it have this type of gun", "what software is used", etc.), that are perfectly reasonable. But all the rest - love, hate, even thanks and gratitude - just make it difficult to find sensible questions and the answers.

These 'Official Announcements' are just that, they are not the usual threads where people ask, answer, help, condemn, praise or scream at eachother/1C. To be effective and useful they need to be kept super-clean.

There are more than enough existing heavy 'discussion' threads and more than enough new ones that would be made, where members can vent their spleen away from the real information so that we don't get buried under them, or have to read through the same old bile and counter-bile all the time.

So could these Threads be heavily moderated, perhaps carrying a clear message in the first Post, such as

THIS IS A FORMAL 1C INFORMATION COMMUNICATION
THERE ARE STRICT LIMITS ON THE NATURE OF RESPONSES PERMITTED WITHIN THIS THREAD

Agreed 100%

Yes please.

Fully support this, but I am more radical, i would lock the future official updates, if we ever have any more....

Comments could still be made in the pilots lounge. The people looking for useful information would lose nothing with respect to the current situation, as it would be the same pain to find something worth in the pile of bs, but at least we could save to the developers (and to some of us the shame) the sad spectacle of seeing some insolent answers we have seen today.

Sorry if I hurt someone, but imo we aren't yet as a whole mature enough to receive updates, much less to receive "interactive ones".

Could there not just be a seperate topic, perhaps even posted by B6 himself to show some tangible relation to the team, for the whining and arguing?

It's a silly measure to impose, but when adults are presented with a magical computer which lowers their age to that of a small child (I am talking about everyone here) it may just keep the original posting informative.

(this applies to those who continue to harass the devs, those that continue to harass the whiners, and those that harass the whiners by complaining to the other whiner-harassers that the whiners are whining and seemingly uneduacted in their process of whining (without presenting anything palpable themselves)).

I agree completely...ROF...

Yeah this would be nice +1

A related discussion thread will no doubt start within a nanosecond but the actual information and relevant responses would be easy to find.
