Only ask questions that are relevant to Oleg's Update thread (see below for other questions)
Ask Oleg to lock his update thread and open another for our questions/discussions with his answers back in his thread, quoting the question. Stops us stamping all over Oleg's posts. Keeps it clean and easy to follow. Title your post "A Question for Oleg" when you are asking a question so that Oleg can find them easily. Do not do that on other posts. Keep to the inter-personal guidelines posted in this thread: ask questions, be informative, be helpful, by all means discuss politely, accept that others may post a different view and don't turn it into an argument. Use 'ignore' on persistent offenders. Revive "Oleg's Questions" for questions not covered by Updates or earlier posts and conduct it the same way as described above. Anyone want to volunteer to create a locked FAQs from his answers? (I can't)

We are over complicating this.
Just write your posts thinking that you are facing the other person and that they could punch you in the mouth for being rude ![]() It's often not what is said but HOW it is said. Really, that's what is missing on this forum and on nearly every other internet forum. People feel anonymous and safe sitting behind their keyboard. They will say things on the internet that they would never say to your face....or they would figure out a much better way to say it to your face anyway. These are the same people that cut you off in traffic and flip you the bird while doing it....they feel perfectly secure in their two tons of vehicle. Such attitudes show a person's true character. I swear, when it suddenly became socially unacceptable to punch an idiot in the mouth society took a turn for the worse ![]() John Wayne in the Shootist: "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do those things to other people and I require the same of them." Not a bad thing to keep in mind while posting.... Splitter |

But why does that person have the right to take Oleg's mantle, or even the mantle of forum moderator, and say that you're post is rude, horrible, rubbish etc ? It might be, but leave that to Oleg to comment as then an argument will just entail. Or, better yet, PM them.
What do you think? I'd be happy to hear what's wrong with this, as topics like this are constructive as long as everyone is humble to eachother. |

I think it all comes down to limits, it is OK to politely ask your “one or two” questions or make your on topic observations, if you are then fortunate enough to get an official response be greatful and accept that answer and do not then try to push for even more.
If due the language barrier you feel that the response may be not have fully addressed your querry/observation then maybe you just have to learn to accept this fact and move on. If you still feel so passionate about a particular item then instead of harping on about continually in the update thread, move off and start a new thread where it can live or die on it’s own merits. I truly believe that if the a subject is worthwhile then the community or the Dev’s will take notice. Maybe it would also be courteous that before posting questions to at least try and do a forum search to see if the subject has already been addressed. Sadly truth be known, self control is a virtue that appears to be sadly lacking here! Lastly the deliberate negative and or obviously rude posts that are the catalyst for much of the issues should not be tolerated and removed.

This forum needs a more present and more sever moderation. It's a pain for more than 80% of the users here -- and for Oleg and others from 1C -- to wade through childish flame wars in the update threads. This forum is not like any other on the internet -- it's a privileged meeting point with a developer. You could think of it as being invited into Oleg's office if you wish. If anything, this forum should be more severely moderated than others, and not the other way around.
