Being that said, it's enough work to translate the news what I usually do, to find interesting topics and to create the news about it like the others do is even more work. As mentioned above, everyone of us has other commitmens as well and I'm convinced that short delays are acceptable for the users here.
Apart from that, if a newsposter spots something milestone-like he doesn't want to withhold from you, you can rest assured that he'll make a news out of it either way. -------------------- |

After some searching I managed to locate the origin, being the site's comment system. Basically if you're not happy with the site, you can leave at any time, and whiny posts in either the comment system or forums won't make us give up on things that are more important than posting on a website.
Also I don't see how this relates to the way the forum is moderated, there is a "Site questions/problems/comments" thread for this. -------------------- |

Edit: I should really press the submit button sooner after typing...
Origonal comment: I posted it in reply to this: <a href="http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?cat=comments&type=news&id=1086" target="_blank"> QUOTE Wow, this is an old new (je, bit ironic). </a>I used to love ArmedAssault.info news, but you are being a bit late in the news, I have abandoned you for ArmAholic. I'll take the rap for whatever I've done wrong in Benoist's eyes but I do get touchy when some one makes a dig at either the site or myself when I've spent my one day off work this week constantly browsing the BI threads and here for an update (that being the only one I found being those WIP that no one here had reported on). I'd also like to point out Old Bear has kindly updated the post for the release of the addon. -------------------- Never before in the history of man, was so much buggered up by so few.

Erase it if you want, I couldn't care less.
You are a bit sensitive today, isn't it? I could act as a news poster, or as a news finder (which I'd do better since I get tired of writing the same everyday). |

Then why not apply to be as one instead of acting as you are at the moment.

I could act as a news poster, or as a news finder (which I'd do better since I get tired of writing the same everyday). Thats a far better attitude If you want to try newsposting ... no problem at all. Any help is appreciated. Just PM me However attacking the site or any team member for not updating the news is a no go. As Jynx pointed out the site is only a hobby. If we have got more important issues to deal with the news won't be updated. At the moment some newsposter are on vacation and our team is kinda small. -------------------- |

Yeah let's take Benoist into the team as a newsposter, and if his activity level is less than 50% i'll leave sarcastic comments on his profile !
Nah just kidding, but I can understand why Jynx felt pissed off by this comment, he isn't over sensitive, it's just that unconstructive criticism when you try to do your best for the others, is not something you would like to read everyday. -------------------- |

Quite a few people from ACSR are banned from the forums.

Nope I think it's not him
Peter told me that most of our team mates are banned so I am checking out what is the truth. I am actually interested in re-opening our topic.

His warning log is empty, and he doesn't appear to be in the validating account group (unless he has changed his e-mail address, which IIRC needs authorization by an admin), so he should be able to post. -------------------- |

QUOTE I posted a warning at 18:44GMT not to post in all-capital letters anymore, you posted sooner after that, so I assume you saw what I wrote (although it's irrelevant whether you saw it or not, since it's clearly mentioned in the forum rules). At 22:52GMT you ignored those instructions. For this you're receiving another warning block and a 24hr post restriction. You have received warning blocks before for failure to comply with a moderator's instructions on two occasions already. We think it's time you take the hint. I must say i found this PR very harsh. The person in questions posts were only capital letters to express shouting in dialogue and titles to different segmants. His actual use of capitals is probably no more than 5% of the word count of his post, so i wouldnt even personally concider it a overuse of capital letters. I always thought a PR for capital writing was intended for those who insisted in replying in all capitals throughout the post, not certian segmants of the post. That was my interpretation anyway.

I always thought a PR for capital writing was intended for those who insisted in replying in all capitals throughout the post, not certian segmants of the post. That was my interpretation anyway. 3-4 words maximum (with the exception of abbreviations like MSN, IRC etc), otherwise it equals to yelling, which this certainly was (and no topic in the entire forum is exempt from that rule for whatever reason). Raphael is insistent on ignoring a moderator's instructions, which he has done both in the French section and here, ignoring both CoPèTe and myself on 2 previous occasions, his failure to comply is what got him another warning block and PR. The all-caps rule is a minor rule in that it doesn't immediately end up in PRs, but when it means seeing a consistent pattern of behaviour, such as the ignoring of a moderator's instructions, any rule can get you PRed or WL increased, 1+1=2. You have to see this in the context, and you don't know the context since you can't see his warning log (although I do recall specifically mentioning this in the thread) There are some others that consistently ignore or "forget" instructions given to them by moderators. It is only logical that we take that into account when they do the same thing again next time, the same as it is for every repeated violation. -------------------- |

I think there needs to be a bit better moderation attention put towards the Mission editing and scripting section.
Recently there have been a spate of infractions in this sub forum. Today one guy posted four threads about a similar topic (nothing happened), a couple days ago someone bumped his own topic (again nothing), and then on top of this all there has been a lot of stupid questions being asked, which easily could have been answered by simple searching (which is clearly stated as a first step in the thread labeled Read First Before Posting A New Topic). |

I agree on this. I don't read that section completely, I only wander into it to look for stuff like the obvious image violations, duplicate topics, starting new topics when it is already being discussed in an existing thread, doubleposting etc, because I don't know that much about scripting, and so can't make a decision on content-matter. In the OFP.info forums I appointed a moderator specifically for the Mission Editing & Scripting section that was an ace scripter himself (Duck of Death). If there is anyone that is good enough with mission editing and scripting, we could consider doing the same thing for these forums, but it has to be brainstormed on first. As for the other (more generic moderating) problems you mentioned, I merged the 4 topics into one, but couldn't find the bumping that you mentioned (note that we do not consider a post by the same member that adds significantly to the topic after more than 24 hours as a "bump"). The only bump that I saw had been dealt with by Helping Hand already. Also of course the "Report" function is still operational On a sidenote: The way that images are being shown (especially in Combat Photography threads) is also being reviewed. -------------------- |
