• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

A semi-answer to Roger - Why you see fewer NEW developers posting

Not open for further replies.
I'll tell you what set it off. Someone posted some development shots of a proposed aircraft and that thread, instead of being used to discuss the upcoming model was used to comment on a second developer, and then on a patch that has yet to be completed by the first developer. Well needless to say the thread got pretty convoluted from where it began and I responded.

Trouble is, I responded emotionally, and I was wrong to do that.
I want to apologize to all concerned because after re-reading my posts I think I was a bit harsh and maybe even out of line. I had no intention and still don't of opening up a major discussion on how to treat developers or a debate about criticism in general. As a member here I do not feel that it is my place to tell others what is right or wrong. But that is what I did.

Again, please accept my apologies for creating a bit of a controversy where there did not need to be one. I will be more discerning in the future.

Mal,
It was the combination of quite a few threads and a number of pms that decided us to take a little preemptive action, so don't feel bad.
 
Well I think it's time to close this as nothing much can be added until a few weeks have passed. If as time goes by anyone feels we're being too restrictive than by all means pm me.

Cheers,

Roger.
