RE: The Distant Guns DRM thread of doom
Sense all my discussion is edited. All my post are deleted.
Everyone knows that not
ALL your posts are edited (I don't recall editing any) and not
ALL your posts are deleted (I have removed only one). You are clearly talking nonesense and I'm tired with presenting the facts to you because you've chosen not to face them.
The censorship beyond forum rules appears to be condoned by game squad by lack of action.
I don't accept the word 'censorship'. I prefer 'trying to restore this once fine forum to what it was before it descended into chaos'.
I'm sure Don and the mods team are on the case. Whatever they decide is up to them. I've informed them what is going on here and if I get sent packing well, quite frankly my dear, I couldn't give a....
SES has to be able to handle a few people with agenda. They need to grow up and not run away and hide and create their own cult compound complete with groupie officers and enforcers. They can live with critic. They have the best product on the market. What a few individuals say is not this big a deal especially if it is not true.
Gawd I don't beleive this. What on earth are you saying now?
If it's not true then why in living heck are people saying it? Criticism is fair and fine. I've been a strong critic of many games and I've been firm in my points over the years. But you make your point once and move on. Eight pages of slagging people off on the same subject is not fair and reasonable and forum members do not want to read it. That's obvious by the fact they are leaving in droves now that there is an alternative site to discuss SES games.
Sure SES can take some criticism but the same sequence of events that has drawn me out to try and put a stop to this idiocy is the same reason SES quit this forum: because the noise to signal ratio was getting too high. Once that happens its natural to cut your losses and run. SES pride themselves on customer support and service. I support them because they are the best, second to none, of any games developer at dealing with and fixing customer complaints.
A few days ago when a series of patches were released for Stormpowered and Jutland people moaned. People moaned when Stormpowered didn't work for them, yet SES did the best they could and issued patches - and people STILL moaned. "Oh, they're patchingi it! It
was broken!" See? With attitudes like that why should any software developer put up with it and stick around here?
Its the whiners and moaners who drove them away.
I've been labeled a trouble maker, troll, and been blaimed for the demise of this forum simply because I've been outspoken of the bias, lies, and unrelenting when I myself was personnally attacked on my views (I counter attacked and would again) is really a testimony to what is going on here.
Oh. It wasn't you then? My mistake.
This is the problem. The blame culture in today's society is sickening. "It wasn't me" "He did it" "It was someone else's fault" "I'm not the one who totally screwed this forum over."
People need to grow up and take responsibility for their actions. I am not afraid to and if it means my moderating is not acceptable to the site owner then I'll go, but I'll have done what I think was my honest level best to save this ship before it finally sank.
So what this boils down to is a grade school excersise of freedom of expression.
I was wondering when the 'freedom of speech' card would get played. You kept me waiting a while. There is no 'freedom of speech' on most of the internet because almost every forum is sitting on a server than is paid for by someone. Ergo, you are here on someone's private property and if they don't like what you do or say they can throw you out.
There is almost no freedom of speech on the internet. You need to understand that fact. Freedom of speech is what you get on street corners in public places. You can stand up there on a box and say what you like as long as it's not illegal, or racially or religiously hateful. Welcome to the internet, a place that is
not a public street corner.
You have read the forum rules over at SES' new forum haven't you? See? Private ownership, just like here.
The perception that especially I've been hounding SES for years is a complete farce and fiction and another lie.
Where did I say that? I have not named any names. I have said that "some people" have been on this forum a long time attacking SES. In the years past I sided with them. Wanna see my inbox? I managed to annoy Jim Rose plenty of times by refusing to ban members who were attacking his products.
Anyway. Enough. I'll let the site owner decide whether he wants me to stay here and fix the mess others have created or if he wants his forum to go down the tubes. Its not up to me at all, but him.

GAMESQUAD MODERATOR
