I mostly agree with Subnuts actually. I don't think it's gone to hell and MOST threads are fine, but there's some that sadly stick out like sore thumbs in all the wrong ways. I've been (and am) on vacation, but even from my quick once-every-few-days browses this is painfully obvious.
IMO some of the extremist views and bad attitudes there have no place on a civil forum like this and should be cleared on sight. I don't care whether that's censorship, I care far more that it doesn't get in the way of civil, reasonable, and good-spirited gaming, historical exploration and community sharing that Subsim is really all about. Some of us have enough trouble justifying our WWII U-boat hobbies as non-political and good-spirited to people outside the community. Allowing these kinds of views to be repeated so often and in such a terrible spirit in the open is really not helping our image
I know I'm a mod but I have no say in GT matters so, I'm speaking purely as your average joe member here.
