You said what I tried to put into words but couldn't so I will just quote you and agree.

Skyhawk,

I appreciate your taking the time to write and post that. I think that it does the world of good for everyone, Oldbies, Newbies and Everythingelsebies to put aside their own prejudices and arguments now and again, swallow their pride and apologise for being insensitive. High horses notwithstanding of course

I would ask you to re-consider your thoughts of leaving Subsim and shelving SHIV. In my two years here, I have been fortunate enough to experience many of the positive things about this community, the (mostly) friendly forum banter, the sneak peeks at upcoming titles and the wonderful modding community who allow us to take our hobby further than the games limitations, to name but a few. Less than a handful of times have the Moderators had to deal with someone causing trouble, and it has always been done in the best possible way. To be perfectly fair, this is absolutely the first time I have disagreed with how the Moderators have responded to an issue and allowed things to progress, but you are right in your appraisal of things. Those same Moderators seem not to be seeing the whole picture on this occasion, and their actions have done more harm then good. Everyone needs to take a deep breath, rethink what has gone on and if nothing else apologise and try to go forward in a positive way, in keeping with the spirit of the community here.

One thing is for sure, I have made some good friends here, and would find it very hard to leave. This is 100% the best community I have ever been a part of. You would be very hard pressed to browse these forums and not have to reach for a kleenex to wipe the sticky tracks your morning coffee leaves on your monitor after exploding in fits of laughter at another one of Bernard's mishaps, or fail to sympathise with a fellow Skipper after reading his post about the CV that got away. I hope you give us another chance, and that in time you come to appreciate Dowly's humour, Seth's friendly banter and SailorSteve's concise informative insights as the rest of us do. Don't pop the seacocks just yet, Shipmatey

I don't mind at all to be honest, I've moderated quite a number of forums over the years from game sites to movie tribute sites. I've honestly never had any major issues that weren't solved after some cooldown time. Then again, it isn't for everyone. That I completely understand.

That thread "whining" was locked as it had outlived its usefullness.

It had nothing to do with squelching opinions. It was repetative, redundant and participated in with the same people over and over.

With nearly 2,000 views and nearly 100 posts re-hashing the same issues with different words it was about time to put that dead horse to rest.

But alas that poor horsey still has life !

That is pretty much the extent of that thread. When do you call it quits? Usually when the bantering and flaming do not cease and desist. If conversation turns from the original topic and just gets silly, time to close it up.

[AVGWarhawk]

More often than not you use a different demeanor but similar method of attack as the very posters you are reprimanding.

We are only human. Just like everyone else, one is only going to take just so much. Politness usually sends the thread back on track, sometimes not. Maybe it is a fight fire with fire at that point! Agreed?

[John Channing]

Plus we don't critisize people's actions and comments in a public forum, and then ask that they respond in a private one.

And for the record, the particular thread you had a problem with had was reported by exactly zero people . Now, with over 1,000 views, and no complaints using the "Report This Post" button, I really don't see what the problem is.

Censorship is rarely practiced here, unless someone crosses the lines laid out in the FAQ and TOU. Nothing in that thread did.

The chief objection seems to be that someone was aggresively supporting the game for a change.
