More severe moderation in update threads?

Maybe just bad english. Apologies for that.

My feelings are that we should be allowed to discuss all things aviation wise.

Some of the subjective stuff (colours, landscape, smoke etc) is ok but ultimately down to personal preference.

Posts which use one screen shot to highlight a 'problem (when there are several other shots that dont) should be deleted.

Political debates such as the Poland discussion in the current update thread have no real place in a thread to do with development updates.

Overall I'm quite happy with the moderation although I have seen some very petty/childish posts from at least one of the moderators in the past.

Ulitmately it's down to the poster to self censor and to consider what effect what they have to say will have on the thread. Plenty of times I've written out a 'you're wrong' post and then not pressed submit because it would have just kicked off.

Definitely more strictly moderated. Repeat offenders should be banned as written down in the forum rules.

free speaking forums should not be restricted to what you can and cant talk about, I'm sure Oleg knows how to cut through the crap, some of it's funny, let it be

Have you tried to wade through some of the crap people post week after week, in an effort to find meaningful discussion about the topic at hand? It's ridiculous.

And no, it's not "free-speaking." It's a privately-run board. "Free speech" doesn't apply here.

Your spelling sucks, your grammar is horrible, and you're now on my Ignore list. Have a nice day.

I agree completely Winny, even though I was one of the guilty parties.
I posted to calm things down before it turned into a slanging match, which seemed to work ok.

Just to be clear, this is about the update thread only..

I just think it's disrespectful to OM/1C

I have no problem with ya'll shouting at each other elsewhere.
