''I have no "fear" of bringing up topics that are not "generic." My threads "So you want quality CS H2H scenarios?" and "An Open Letter to Scenario Designers" generated very robust and sometimes heated posts... nobody was banned?'' quote Mr KK.

Sorry to jump in again Mike, this is what I referred to in the thread regarding private pms and e-mails that some aren't privy too.
I entered that debate of yours and you welcomed my contribution, then I get a pm from a mod that ' I'm locking horns with someone again?' once someone else joined in the debate.

I received a ban in the past, that was lifted eventually, hence the 'fear' element in further posts. I agree wholeheartedly with Chuck that the dealings regarding some in the past, has stifled many from contributing in the forum.
As I said earlier, let's have free debate by all means, mods only need jump in when serious problems are encountered, one shouldn't feel that the 'sword of damacles' is hanging over our head because we are being negative?

Just thought I'd enlighten you to the facts buddy.

Hey Dave, read my previous post, then tell me I have nothing to fear. Maybe you were oblivious to the pm I received? I thought the banning meant matter dealt with?
Seems some are still being watched over in their further posts?
Maybe some see the 'sword of Damocles' hanging above them? Do you guys ever wonder, maybe that is why guys come over as negative, or having digs, - they are feeling alienated from commenting on anything and when they do enter a conversation with different views, they shy away again.

I welcome your openness in allowing this discussion Dave, my comments about kissing ass was not a reference to you, it was an observation from others' posts.

I think, regarding the new rules, perhaps discussion would be better in the public forum rather than pms reporting complaints about a member, when those people don't have the guts to make the comments here in public?
Many members don't even know about the goings on behind the scenes and an unfair conclusion can be reached that way, regarding the forum.

We are both man enough to discuss this in open Dave, perhaps more should do so, mods only need to jump in when things get really out of hand?

As for your interpretation of my posts Dave, they are my opinions on a subject, not digs. I've had enough digs aimed at me in the past and if I didn't like it, I'd respond, but then that ended up with me getting banned!

Bottom line Dave, yeah some of us are being driven away with the new rules.

Peter
