Nobody asked you to come in here and give your opinion. Had I wanted your opinion on this story, I would've asked for it. You've insulted the deceased man behind the story, not me. For that I find you deplorable.

You may be talking about a video game, but I'm talking about a real life story, whether real or not. Try to play it off as much as you wish, but remember where you are. You are a non-donating unsubscribed member of a heavily moderated forum, with only 2 months here. Don't think for a second that that will not be considered by the moderators.

I urge you to continue flaming posts by subscribed members and see what happens.


So be weary...

He may be capable of dangerous things.

A few points....

It is considered bad netiquette to make public PM's

If you have a complaint, forward on the PM to Neal, myself or any other moderator and matters will be looked into.

I detect a pattern starting to develop with regard to the worth of a member dependant on length of membership and or whether they have made a donation or not.

All members of this community are valued equally.

A stowaway is not a member and is therefore unable to post in the forum.

If my appeals for calm and civility are not to be heeded then the resulting consequences most surely will.

I misunderstood what it meant to be a stowaway. I also did not know that non-subscribed and subscribed members were viewed equally. I must have read over that in the FAQ and rules. I figured that if donating members received more downloads per day and more forum perks, that it somehow made them a step up from the rest. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

Your interpretation of a persons worth are clearly different to mine.

Donating obviously gives an individual additional benefits but that does not mean they are valued any less in this community.

Everyone here is valued equally. New members, old members, donors, stowaways, etc. Donors do not get "favored status"; they are appreciated (greatly appreciated) and given a Subsim Navy badge and access to more downloads, custom avatars, etc. The donation system here is in place to allow people to show their appreciation for our work, to give them an opportunity to help support the site and costs. A lot of Subsim people here want to do their part to keep this thing going. Thanks to them and the work of the moderators here, Subsim is going strong. :salute:

thanks,
Neal

As far as I am aware only one uboat made a patrol in the pacific and that was u862 between late 1944 and early 1945 and that was around the southern part of Australia and also around New Zealand. Most monsoon boats operated in the Indian Ocean. There is a good book about u862s voyage called uboat far from home
