locked treads on IL-2 Sturmovik Forum

startrekmike · #1 12-19-2012, 12:30 AM

The threads are getting locked because some players can't seem to stop trying to either stoke the fires of discontent (just to do it) or just want to troll because they have been getting away with it during the weekends.

This had nothing to do with the quality of the product, it is simply too early to make any guesses as to how it will be, they are locking threads because they don't want the forum to become a infamous cesspool of needless bickering and hate like this one seems to be (at least to me, a newcomer).

I don't care what sim you like, there is simply no reason to act like some of the guys who are getting threads locked over there.

Frankly, if I were the mods, I would be banning a ton of people because all they want to do is derail any discussion with complaints that have no actual basis in reality.

Pretty much what the above said.

The CEM thread was going just fine until it degenerated into yet another tit for tat argument.

Simple fact is..... The BOS forum is for discussing what features people would like to see, updates, general chat etc.. not for the whole CloD vs ROF idiocy. Sadly it all kicked off again and, therefore, the thread was locked. Seems totally fair to me.

I love CloD and I'm as sad about its demise as anyone is but I really don't think it is fair to pollute the BOS forum with that kind of childish crap.

BOS is not CloD and it is not ROF! It is BOS.

So far I haven't seen any problems on there with regards to referring to features in CloD, mentioning how one would like to see those features implemented in BOS... What I have seen, though, is moderators clamping down on stupid antics and "My sim is better than your sim!" bs.

There is no conspiracy. Us CloD pilots aren't being picked on and, as far as I can tell, nothing is happening other than a bunch of people trying to create a WW2 flight sim with a future for us. Yep. US.

Surely a little more decorum wouldn't be too much to ask for?

Don't want a thread locked? Don't play stupid games.
Talking about how great the features if you condemned game are is pretty retarded, and has nothing to do with BoS.

You are one of those who did their level best to destroy COD with your mouth on here - Look at your Avatar FFS!!! "Launcher has stopped working" created with your own hand. You don't even play COD!!! Yet in the new forums you are up Jason's backside about BOS. You and a minority like you have done a great dis-service to the oh so very niche flight sim community, you should hang your head in shame, what you and your pals have done makes me sick.

Makes you sick doesn't it. Well I hope the Luthier rumour is true and the guys at ATAG can finish CLOD as I do not feel like being part of a community of lickelspits.

After reading the responses to requests and requirements from Jason I'm not convinced at all. I too am hoping for a decent crack to COD. It's not 'the guys at ATAG' alone, there is a wider community effort. I know for one that two of the ACG guys have been approached about modding. I would feel more comfortable about the whole COD modding business if it were a community centric model since the moment you have 'ownership' you will just end up with the same UP/SAS/HSFX fragmentation.

Fjordmonkey, of course I don't think that a few individuals could've bust COD but they added their contribution - all that propaganda has an effect on sales and pressure from the publishers - don't think for a minute it doesn't. My point is that they did it nevertheless and now they are good little boys "yes Jason, 777 will save it, look at wonderful ROF and the great community it has". I don't buy it, and at this rate I won't either.

Well, the same could have applied here... it seemed to be all well and good to pollute this forum!

Volksieg · #9 12-19-2012, 09:58 AM

That's a good point, Wolf_rider.

Surely a little more decorum wouldn't be too much to ask for once?

There you go. Fixed it. lol

Their forum their rules. Looks like they want to distance themselves from both CoD AND RoF, so the RoF fans might not want to get too cozy, as that sim could very well be the next one for the chop.
Can't see how they can keep both going, and WW2 is where the money tree is.
