More severe moderation in update threads?

There're still a few off topic posts, but the whole discussion seems, well, flat.

Plus, the on-topic posts mostly seem to have got the wrong end of the stick re the first two screenshots, and the 'bug' Mr Maddox mentioned.

Interesting.

P.S. I count two bans by nearmiss so far!

Yeah its quiet, bad atmosphere and a 'climate of fear' lol. I can only speak for myself Dutch mate but I was not banned (obviously lol) but my post was just 'annotated' ; ironically, the part removed was a direct question to the mods as to whether what I was typing about FFB pertaining to my question to Oleg was "off topic" or not, and asking for clarification in a polite manner.

I copied and pasted exactly what was wrote to a text doc prior to this, so if anyone wants to see it, feel free to PM me. Too risky to do it any other way.

I think it might have served the 'cause' better if it was left in, then people could see that asking for clarification on OT was unacceptable....but that's just my opinion, and fair dinkum.

Technically I suppose it was OT, but I just made the point there is limited scope for discussion of these pictures, and I was responding to a fellow forum members statement about FFB....asking if it was ok.

There is most definitely a need to cut down on OT, and I wholeheartedly agree. There is also such a thing as disproportionate 'overkill' IMO, though I'm not even sure if we are allowed to have opinions any more.

End of day, it matters not. People will just start leaving this forum en masse and there will be no need for ban hammers anyway, they'll just go somewhere else.
