OK, then as I said before, I think it would be better to really use an other label (I mean other login & pseudo).

It is because of all this power and responsability that I think a moderator must stay neutral.

It is therefore unfair insinuating that there has been an implicit threat in any of the moderator's posts replying to yours.

Sorry, but with all the respect, I think that moderators and Neal too, are going much more far than just to steer the discussions towards a more positive feedback and attitude, like you say. But this is just my opinion.

Yes, I will stop. I promise.
But I do not consider my remark about sponsorship to be an insult.
I remain convinced that saying to peoples more or less "buy the game, or you will punish yourself because Ubisoft will not continue the franchise", do not help at all the dev team. It is the contrary, because it will allow more and more Ubisoft management to "push the dev team on the wall".
I am sure that most of the developers are the first to be very sad TO HAVE BEEN FORCED to give to production an unfinished and still buggy product.
The day the lead developer may argue: "attention Boss, in its actual state, this game will be fired by Subsim and all other specialized forums and this will have probably some bad impact on the income". Then, maybe the Boss will say "Huuumm, you are right. How many time you need to finish ?".
I appologize to everybody I may have bother with my crusade lost in advance.
OK, now I go aways and return to SH3 forums.
