Allegedly inocent posts...
« on: October 19, 2011, 04:09:04 AM »
Guys, we just let you know to avoid anyone feeling targeted...

But from now on, any post that gets even JUST a hint of a request or demand, in WIP or DOWNLOAD section, will get removed on sight without any notice.

If the tendency persists on a given thread, we might just as well lock the thread and trash it entirely.

Why? Modders put a lot of effort JUST to find the time to work on IL2 projects, and get often discouraged and demotivated by such general flow of seemingly ungratefull posts. We've seen a lot of them in the past, and we decided it should not continue.

We hope you understand  :)

PD: I take this occasion to publically apologize to D-WRTHBRNGR for putting him in the middle of my explosions a few minutes ago and make him probably feel targeted and very uncomfortable, while he surely did not deserve to pay for both my impatience and the long standing abuse of posting privileges by some members  :-\

agreed. especially those posts that people make announcing a new WIP project, and then immediately someone posts with a 'Big Thanks! now when are we getting plane X/Y/Z to go with it......'

To put this in perspective, prior to the closing the MiG-21 progress thread, it had been cleaned about 3-4 times (down from 20 pages + each time). The last time took me over an hour to clear out the useless posts and collate it into one flowing, informative thread. This is not to mention  the half dozen PMs I used to recieve daily asking about updates regarding this and related projects.

So please, if you don't hear news for a few weeks and the modder is still posting actively, please assume that no news is good news. And if you have a really good idea/request BUT it is not related to the project, please put it in the Request section where it belongs. We are all tired of clearing out useless request (e.g. OOHH! You're making my favourite plane. Can you make my second favourite plane too?)
