    Absolutely no need to pick on me Major Fubar, as I said already, I was not the one who's promised that the 'both sides' will be treated equally, and that all further 'fanboy' and 'whiner' flamings will be punished. The fact is that the 'whiners' flaming was done, it was reported to the mods, and the offender was just warned thru the PM, so he later changed the 'incriminated' word. And as I said, if there would be an oposite case (a 'fanboy' flaming), there would be no friendly PM warning or whatever, but a +1WL in a blink of an eye and some more (PR).

    You've somewhere just paraphrased Placebo; "these forums are not a democracy", and I totally agree. But, who makes them such? You know, from a high horse is a wide view ...

    Also, for someone so concerned about forum rules and their enforcement, you seem to have overlooked one:
    Quote[/b] ]§18) No public discussion on how the forum is moderated

    If you have questions/complaints/comments about the board or moderators please PM them to a moderator, we will do our utmost to reply to any that we receive. If you have an issue that you feel cannot be solved by another moderator then please PM the head moderator (Shadow), he will be happy to look into the matter.

    A typical mod's hiding paravan used again ,,, why you just don't quit the sherade and tell me (with a new box or something) to STFU.

    From a business standpoint its not always logical to do what the customers say.

    From a custumer's e.g. market rule standpoint is logical that with such approach you're soon out of business.

    @ofpforum - it would me more logical and above all polite if you would use 'complained' instead of 'whined' word, but ,,, suit yourself.

    And, I think it's good that the editing forums are 'on their own', far away from all this 'general' BS discussions.

    You meant you want them to fire in bursts, yes? Unfortunately this is a 'malfunction' inside JAM3, that the AI don't/can't fire in bursts, only a player can, but this is really not a big deal, and I think there's no way to control/change this, only and maybe if you mess with config or something, which is way out of my territory wink_o.gif

    seba!!!  wow_o.gif  Easy my friend, if you'll go on with such kind of broad elaboration of ArmA flaws, even if only with a game design related ones, you'll end up writing a book  wink_o.gif  *and you'll earn a title of an uber whiner from the subjects like that one above*

    I bow to your willingness and readyness to make such broad explanations.

    ,,, I think we should separate the things that are design decisions from the bugs, because in some cases, BIS is trying to fix bugs in the code that even when working as intended, will let down many people.

    Dead on mate, and

    Quote[/b] ]There are many more to me, and I'll try to list them later.

    I'm looking forward to it. wink_o.gif

    @Vilas - Question: do you have the same problems also with the other games on that screwed-up-not-correctly-assembled-overheated-not-enough-powerful-whatnot system of yours? (don't need to answer (to me) because I think I know the answer, but you could enlighten with the answer those others which are contantly persuading you that it's your PC (to blame), not a game)

    EDIT: as I see 4 IN 1 has changed his 'whiners' word into a 'guys' word. Obviously he's been warned or something (but not punished) by the mods about it.

    So much about the Major Fubar's words in this topic a few pages behind that "I will treat any calling someone a whiner exactly the same as calling someone a fanboy: flaming", I'm not naive anymore; this will NEVER happen here.

    For some reason I am recently playing games I haven't played for years but still enjoying my self on them much more then I ever have in ArmA. To name a few of these games... Worms 2 and EVEN Star Wars I mean WTF? ArmA is meant to be an amazing new game but i'm playing Worms 2 over it?

    Totally understand you 456820 (and Average Joe); after a god knows how many years (six or seven I think) I've played Deux Ex again and now I'm playing Black & White, and I have exsactly the same feelings as quoted above.

    One good thing from this ArmA ordeal for me(us) after all; I've begun to play the good ol' bugless (<- the key ?? ) quality games and I have a same blast with them as then if not even more, and I have so many great games in stock to re-play that I don't think I'll miss ArmA that soon.

    To EVERYONE: enough with the "fanboy" BS. Anyone calling someone a fanboy for saying they like the game is flaming, and will be punished.

    And what about that "whiners" BS mate? Will those which will call the others a whiner for saying they don't like the game be punished aswell? If you check this thread I'm sure you'll find that 'whiner' word earlier and more often than a 'fanboy' word (in fact this word was a reacton/defence on that 'whiners' calling/flaming).

    And ekhm, to stay on-topic; can't complaint (anymore) cuz I did the only wise thing momentarily and in such case I think; I put the game on ice till the 'ultimate' patch, and it's sad that a (certain) game players/buyers most to do this not to completely loose their nerves on the game. And I just can't imagine a disappointment with the game of the players/buyers which are not a members/part of this community (they don't know - don't wait patiently on all these mighty patches).

    Ah yes, one more thing (and not a complaint really); it always maked me laughing when I saw the destroyed tanks burning like a piles of old dry wooden pallets.

    @Vilas - I really do understand your pain, but I think you should take this problem of yours into Troubleshooting section, I think there your problem have more chances to receive some helpful answers than here.

    I can admit that you have a point in me contradickting myself there. I´l take that.

    No you were not contradicted to yourself. You've just tried to explain some valid things to some one(s), and to make a valid point (but this, alas, is mission impossible, they don't read (or don't understand) what's written as the response to them), and you are 100% right about the disproportion in the 'equal thretman' of those related topics. If there would be none of those which have nothing to do here in this thread except to provoke the 'whiners', then this thread would have 15 instead of 30 pages.

    Yeah, people all narrowing down to that CO2. But there're also many other things like mentioned above, and freons and all that shit ,,, Some indicators are suggesting that the proccess is already irreversable, and that it can happen that in four-five (300 years) generations all will be over, and I mean GAME OVER for the human kind.

    You may ask about the rules, not why didnt you do this instead of that.

    Yes I may, but also that's it, this is where all the further discussion stops.

    Quote[/b] ]karantan, I have yet to see another forum's rules being changed because a handful of people disagree. It will not happen here either, so please get back on topic or we will be forced to PR you if you dont intend to follow the rules.

    Typical and as I said; swept under the carpet. And you have no ground to clame that "handful of people disagree". And don't hide behind that 'we'.

    Now you can PR me.

    SOBR[1st-I-R] @ June 07 2007,14:13)]I though it was entertaining... but what do you expect from a website called

    www.videogamessuck.com ??

    Exsactly. And it's funny and entertaing to see that on every site where the review of the game from that site appears such threads turns into the fanboy rant fests.

    Hope this will too.  smile_o.gif

    Altough I've done it myself, I must admit that this thread is starting to become quite a big "The mods this" "The mods that" etc. etc.

    I am uncertain if that was the purpose of this whole thread, and I'm wondering how this relates to the Rule about not discussing Moderator choices in the public etc.

    And why not sickboy, to disciuss (some - which 'deserves' ) moderating choices in the public!? Sometimes this is necessary. Unless if they're untouchable. And sometimes and in some cases re-routing all such things towards the PMs is nothing by an aliby for the mods e.g. sweeping the dirt under the carpet.

    i don't know if the people here like these kind of discussions that but that becomes really boring.

    Totally agree. And it's more and more of these in the ArmA section.

    Quote[/b] ]this is no more a forum but a kindergarten.

    Again couldn't agree more, and the persons like The-Architect are making it such. And of course yoohoo for the mods giving him a 48h of NOTHING. By now he has maded so many such and similar transgressions on this site that he should be (at least) on four 'boxes! For instance he is the person which flaimbaited me twice ("karantan you knob", "you should blow karantan to show you're really sorry") with no apparent reason; he just jumped into the thread/discussion and insulted me. And what's happened to him? NOTHING. It seems that more rude you're here the more you get protected (from the mods). Sad in the worst meaning of the word.

    There's a video which I hope it hasn't been posted here before:

    The Great Global Warmin Swindle

    It says everything about this issue that I think of it's true.

    No, not axsactly this one, but a few pages behind some other video from this 'collection' was presented, and watching it I was sceptical right away (the 'reasons' presented in it, the 'facts/arguments' out of/for those 'reasons', just the way/principle how the video is maked and so on), but when I heard the 'argument' that the super novae are like responsible for the creating of clouds ,,, that moment I was convinced it's a hoax, and I stopped watching it. And I think I'll skip yours also. wink_o.gif

    Btw, why some of these 'documentaries' are not presented on some serious channel like Discovery Channel or somwhere else for that matter?
