Precisely why I recommend going to General Topics to see how heated debates are handled there. And believe me, there are some heated debates in there. I don't recall seeing a locked thread in GT since I joined, and so far only one member who frequents that forum is in the brig at the moment. We tend to keep things pretty clean on our own, despite our many differing views.

Or should we gather here on the day of first pension and act in cold-grey stable boring way ? If somebody so desperately wants to be that mature please add the age confirmation tab prior registration for everyone new to know this place as for old codgers..

Brunos, emotions certainly do make us human. I won't argue that. What makes Subsim mature is not age, it's behavior. What I'm trying to help you understand is that you have the right to speak freely. If I see a thread get locked down, I know that someone had to do their job. Doesn't really hurt my feelings any, and when you get right down to it it doesn't affect my rights as a member in any way. I can still speak freely as I wish. The trick is in knowing
what is appropriate and what is not.
If nothing else, don't try to press the issues too hard - especially here in the SH5 forum. I think the moderators are probably fed up with some of the nonsense that has sprouted up over the last couple of months. As I have pointed out before, when a new game is released things tend to get really hairy until the first patch or two come out. Subsim is trying to keep the place from going to hell in a handbasket (as has happened on so many other sites). If that happens, then it's difficult for anyone to enjoy spending time here.
Enjoy your time here. That's really what Subsim is all about.
