More severe moderation in update threads?

You see,this is just the sort of thing that could get a ban.The poster might think he is being funny,but humour does not always travel well on the net,with lots of people from different countries.

Don't take the baron serious he's older than dirt and twice as ugly.

We'll someone had to break up the civility of this thread, it's actually making me wretch a little.

Seriously though, WTG guys. Like I said before, we need to moderate ourselves first, and it looks like that's happening here. If we can get that spirit moved over to the update thread tomorrow we'll be all good.

...and he's also on my Ignore list, because he can never find it in himself to post anything civil.

There should be two links in each update thread, the update itself then being locked after Oleg has posted his update..

1st link: contains Oleg's statements, questions made directly to Oleg, and Oleg's replies. This is a pure update link.

2nd link: A discussion of the update, and comments made about questions made to Oleg, and any post made in the first link which is not a direct question or suggestion to Oleg - they should be moved here. This is a discussion link.

I believe the moderation of update threads is woeful.

Can't understand why ban hammer is not being used.

Anyone posting anything controversial that is unrelated to the screenshots should get a week ban instantly, and anyone responding should get a one month ban. How hard is it?

Maybe I'm just a bit too old, but isn't "more severe moderation" an oxymoron? (Or, worse yet, a political position?)

Maybe just bad english. Apologies for that.

That's a conflation of/pun on two different meanings of "moderation" I believe.

I totally agree.

I actually was shocked to learn that there even were moderators here. The standards here are so low, and moderation so pitifully ineffective that the overwhelming impression is one of anything-goes, or moderation by non English speaking Russian technical support.
