Rule 5 of forum posting.  5- Members are asked to not act as "back seat moderators". If you feel a post violates the forum rules, the use the "Report to Moderator" link in the post to report it.

Why should we have a meaningful discussion of something that has already been discussed over and over.  Unless there is a new twist, the OP its just hoping that somehow them saying it will make all the difference.  I don't really care, post what you want, but are we suppose to just ignore these threads until someone posts a "why is no one helping the new guys" thread.

I agree that sometimes things go overboard, I'm sure I've pushed the limit before.  Although this should be a helpful place, this isn't the land of fluffy bunnies and friendly sheep.  I think it's okay to respond with a simple, use the search, this has been discussed before.  If a guy can't handle what is mostly light hearted poking, they won't stay in the game long anyway.

I am in no way trying to moderate. I opened a serious discussion to an issue I feel needs addressed. Which has already been turned into a joke by trolls.

What Jayhawk said.

It gets hard sometimes when the latest post shows up, asking for something for the 87th time because someone happened across it on Wiki`and thinks they've found something new.

I'm sure some of the regulars here would have their own list of 'not again' wishes.

Mine include 4 cannon Spitfires, or 4 cannon Mustangs.  Throw in the Luftwaffe 46 birds, and it's enough to make ya weep sometimes.

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.

Have you even been out with a group of friends and you say, "Ya know, it really bugs me when people chew with their mouth open."  What do they do, they all start chewing with their mouth open.  That's what just happened here.  You let everyone know what bugs you the most and everyone had their fun knowing they were getting you fired up. lol

My advice, take it or leave it, instead of spending your time criticizing others for how they act in threads, spend your time helping those who are being criticized.  I find it funny when someone will come into the forum and say something like "you guys aren't helping him out at all" then leave to never been seen again.  Lead by example and don't let any internet dude push your buttons.  :aok

Jayhawk has been spot on with his posts, and Waystin has turned a new page for this thread I think.  In the spirit of peace and happiness I think we should all sing Kumbaya.  As this is impossible via a text based forum just play this instrumental version which I will link to below and sing it out loud in your computer room and all our well wishes can mingle together in the cosmos.

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... :salute

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..  :salute

It is not all bad...

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.  :noid

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.

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.

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.

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.  :bolt:
