I don't think Richard will lock you out. For what it is worth Possum, I think the graphics look more like playing a video game after having your eyes dialated. Instead of looking like units of men, it looks like a big blurred Version of the same guy over and over (either that or I'm seeing trails again!!!!)

Still its probably better to resolve this kind of stuff out of the public spotlight. Take care yall - Joe

Again this is not how we do business. I do not delete Posts and I have yet to ban anyone from our forums.

As far as what I did for Kagetora it has nothing to do with me being in trouble or buying him out. If you saw in the Last thread I had overwhelming support from the community.

However at heart I am a nice guy, probably too nice to be doing this job. And unfourtanetly I will probably catch some flak from my own company for doing this (not too much guys so don't worry about it). Was it necessarily the smartest thing to do, probably not, but at the time I was trying to be fair.

And no you won't get Banned or locked down. I only lock down threads that serve no purpose and I have not resolved this issue with Possum.

Richard,

I'm sorry, please don't misunderstand my Last post. Your work is still appreciated and I'm not complaining about SE4, never... (except the probly selective support, but for now I think you are too busy to answer every suggestion)

I was just a little bit upset about the "Lock 'em out, delete them..." Messages. Usually I'm also a nice guy unless something drives me PSYCHO...

Well I know Aaron tries to answer every email but he does get quite a few.

As far as the deletes as soon as I have more info I will investigate, this is not how you run a proper board.

I think the solution Richard came up with was the best one. He had an irate customer and basically made them happy. That's how good businesses work. I've had to give away more for less in my business.
Why would anyone think that if you have negative, harsh or bad things to say about SE4 then you should not post it here. I thought that is what this was all about, a place where you could ask questions, get or give advice, complain etc. As long as it doesn't become a place for personal attacks then I think anything should go. After all, the board is broken into topics and you aren't forced to read anything you don't have an interest in.
Please keep this an open forum where all ideas can be expressed.

I see, Richard is a very nice guy, and as a fact of this, he couldn't ignore such individuum. I respect his decision, and if it brings peace to the board, I'm happy also...

Just to make my point about this: In our peaceful community we might have a lot of folks who have politely requested for changes to the game and have posted bug reports and so on. Some of them (like me) have never got any response, so we are patiently waiting several months... but a customer who puzzles the board, not accessible to whatever argument of the community, he comes to immediate attention.

I just don't hope someone else could ever copy that impolite idea to bring up his wishes.

This sort of behavior is as old as the saying, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease". Barring a fundamental change in human nature, it will always crop up from time to time.

human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft
