Nothing to see here, move along

[Ack-Ack]

Thanks for proving my point so soon!

Thank you for providing me something to do while I'm bored here at work.

Really gunzablazin, My first post here was a wish for X-Wing fighters to be enabled from the carrier and here you come asking for friendship.

Rule 4 of forum posting. 4- Flamebaiting, flaming, being abusing, being disrepectful, trolling, spamming or posting to incite or annoy is not allowed. If you cannot make a positive contribution to the thread, then just stay out of it.  I find it childish to report posts to a moderator but some should obdviously have their posting priveleges revoked.

Flaming, abusing, being disrespectful, trolling, or posting to incite or annoy is not allowed!!

Wow that rule alone if applied to the letter would eliminate 90% of the postings on this forum..

Dont let that stuff bother you Blazingun. I have had it out more than a few times with guys on the forums. The same guys I have had it out with on one topic are the same ones who I will agree with and support on another topic.. You will find that you can learn a lot just by reading the forums. If you think its crap, tell them what you think. Just be prepared to get a verbal beating from time to time...

There is good and bad. I have seen these forums totally slam a person who decides to bring an arena related  beef with another player into the forum. I have also seen them support alot of noobs in the forums no matter how stupid the questions..  

It is not all bad...

Thanks to all who contributed with intellegent, meaningful posts.

Couldnt help it. Been wanting to use that one for a while.


Back on topic. The way I see it. Saves people time. If they took just a few minutes to search whatever they were about to "wish" for and read some of the post on it previous, then they might not post it, and save the rest of us the time to explain it to them why or why not. Just my 2 cents. Though this has probably already been stated in the 2 pages I missed in this thread.

There's not one wish that hasn't been asked before. So by default we should get rid of the wish section, which by the way has been asked before.

Then dont get involved in the discussion if you have nothing meaningful to contribute.

I have a contribution.  Hostility is an honest display of one's feelings and usualy people who are open with their feelings are less threat. Embrace open hostility as an early warning system. Our biggest enemies would use stealth.

Nice input salem. You exemplify those you are persecuting for not reading up.

The game is constantly changing, so there are new wishes.  It was just a few weeks ago Lusche's wish was put into play by HTC.

my point is some people are quick to demand somebody do a search.  but only because of who's posting and not what is being posted.  for example look at the b29 wish.  there is a gazillion threads about it, and only when a new guy would ask for one, people would mentioned the search feature.  but if it was somebody that had been here for a while then more often than not search wouldnt even be brought up.  look what happens to the m18 thread, there's one just about every month, i hardly ever hear anybody mention the search feature.

so the question is should there be a thread about (insert plane name) or should we just forget about, because it has been asked many times before and there's really nothing that could be added that hasnt been brought up before.

I agree 100% with the message but the means of achieving it are the issue. Instead of rudely saying use the search function, how about posting the link to the previously discussed topic? This would avoid countless replies of emoticons in response to someones obnoxious posts.

For the record, I see the M18 threads as kind of a running joke.  I think the majority of us see it as a joke... just don't tell BAR that.

I believe many people would view that as a challenge!

Persecuting? No, just laziness on my part.
