Joke / Photoshopped screen shots... Enough is Enough!

I love a good joke as much as anyone, but enough is enough.

We have a few threads now that claim to release "NEW" or "UPDATED" information or screen shots concerning Silent Hunter 5.

Not only is this very distracting and annoying to any members who might be serious about reviewing such material when it actually IS released... but for ANY internet forum... ESPECIALLY the Subsim Radio Room, misleading forum thread titles are generally considered to be a no-no.

I understand the frustration of many of the members here, however Subsim has a reputation to uphold, and posting negative or angry things about Silent Hunter 5 is all good and well...

posting fake images - even as a joke - and passing them off through thread titles that indicate that it is REAL MATERIAL... IMHO... should in the very least be a BRIG WORTHY OFFENSE.

I have taken the liberty of creating a "Funny or Fake Pictures, screens and videos" thread.

I think it would be much more appropriate of our members to post such material there, without misleading the other members and discrediting Subsim.com any further than some of us already have.

Thank you, and enjoy your discussions of SH5 be them negative or positive... as long as they are not misleading!!
