Gentlemen,
I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and explain a few things for those of you who seem to be a little confused.
My name is Ben Brandhorst, I will be filling in as a mod in this section for the time being. I usually help Rich Hamilton by taking care of the Napoleonics Battles section.
Lets get one thing straight from the get go, so there is no confusion. No one here is trying to protect developers from criticisms. There are a few things to consider when approaching certain subjects though.
Firstly, everyone here is an adult and these forums are generally a pretty friendly place to hang out. Everyone is expected to conduct themselves as gentlemen (and ladies). If you have a concern about something, feel free to voice that concern, but open attacks on other members will not be tolerated. If you have a problem with another member, please utilize the private message system in place to try to resolve your issues. If there is a post that you think is innappropriate, use the 'report bad post' feature.
Secondly, The moderation of the forums is as hands off as possible. Threads are not deleted or edited unless something written is in clear violation of forum policies. Even then the offending poster is usually given the opportunity to correct their post before it is touched by a mod.
My goal here is to make this an enviroment where fans of the Distant Guns game can come together to discuss the progress of the games development and once it's released to talk about all things related to it. We are fortunate enough to have developers frequent the boards and even answer some questions. I am not asking you all to refrain from criticising anyone. I am however asking you to use tact when posting in the forums.
Thanks
Ben
