maybe we should have the make the person who created the thread the moderator and only allow him to show responses that he/she deems worthy for that specific thread.  no wait.. that would be really dumb.

I don't think this is a good idea.  While a lot of chaff has to be sorted through, it is entirely possible for a new player to come up with a great idea,  They should not be squelched.

I have seen a similar wish before Ghost, and I still feel the same way as Karnak.  Loosing the chance that someone has a unique or useful/helpful idea to shutup some posters that folks don't care for is not worth it.

Hello all, <S>!

In fact,this is a theme that interests me much. Having noticed a very deep loss of "wish quality" in the last year, I even suggested a "Wish Request Formula"... It was a failed attempt to produce a somewhat ironic remark... Failed to pass the message and I was quickly flamed... Lesson learned.

These forums are only as deep as deep are his players, gameplaywise. If they are not experienced and don't have a good historical and aeronautical background, their wishes will allways be superficial and flawed. Many are one line wishes, not even completely formulated. Others, simple Wikipedia copy-paste.

We must bare with this and try to be constructive. If there is something really flawed with these forums is accepting as registered members people that doesn't hold an active paying account.

IMHO, this is the major flaw and this should be corrected. Only active paying members should be able to post in all Topics and Areas. Former members should be able to post in some areas. Non active paying members - two weekers, professional trollers and other exotica - should not be allowed to post. Shadow accounts, if payed, would have to be tolerated. But ingame id and Forum id should be unique.

This would solve 50% of this forum problems. Also would reduce this forumīs activity by 50%. But I donīt see how would that harm anyone.

Cheers,
Sparow
