Moderated Blog comments and rules
So it’s been almost 2 weeks since I started moderating blog posts. I am publishing some of them, but not all. It’s a matter of time and appropriateness.
Certainly posts in the following categories:
a) Schedule questions,
b) Requests to be added to beta,
c) asking for hw recommendations or sw tech support,
d) Are rude and/or insulting
I don’t publish those.
Even some that *are* on topic, due to time restrictions, may not get published. This is not meant to insult or annoy any specific comment author; it’s just a matter of my free time.
Thanks for understanding.

i find it sad that in this day and age it is necessary to post these sort or rules... especially in a community (flight simulation) that is 99% of the time welcoming and good. It is a useful post though to keep that 1% of the community in there place and stop them obstructing our love of flight simulation and all the good work you folks do at Aces. Keep up the good work <<thumbs up>>Anonymous

Bob, you have to remember that participants in any internet discussion come from all age groups and some can make their points in a more mature fashion than others. It's partly due to the anonymity the internet provides.Anonymous

Criticism is accepted? Because I did with the new expansion and my post wasn´t published. I don´t know if it was because it was against the rules or lack of time to publish. Anyway, its great to see updates in the blog.Anonymous

If you saw the unpublished comments you would understand why I have to have some rules. Around 210M for each language, 1 package per language covers both Std and Dlx.Anonymous

Jim, Thanks for the note. I''ll try to respond to anything that isnt 1 of my 4 "no publish, no answers" and is in a reasonable tone. The comment of yours that I didnt publish asked a schedule question - which I really dont want to try to answer given we already gotten bit by saying April and here it is into May. Thanks for trying to understand, and its nothing against you in specific as I have a lot of "when will it be" and "please get me on the beta" comments and I just cannot publish and answer those. We do hope that SP1 reduces your frustation when using FSX, just hang on a little longer :-). PhilAnonymous

Phil, SP1 will come when it comes. Take the pressure off yourself, give yourself a pat on the back, enjoy the weekend. Down the road, we will all be one happy luvy-duvy family again........until the next version of Microsoft Flight Simulator years away where we get to be mad at each other all over again. Just kidding. JimAnonymous

The complaining here really amazes me. This is the product of our "on demand" world. Our culture has lost the ability to wait for anything. We see it, we want it, and we want it YESTERDAY! I think the people who keep whining about the release date will never be truly happy with anything they currently have... they'll just always look to the next thing. These are the same people who, within a few months of SP1's release, will start throwing fits about "When is FS11 coming out?" Can anyone tell me what's wrong with FS9? Are you no longer able to enjoy it just because you know there's a "FSX SP1 Beta" out there somewhere, and you can't have it? Now, FS9 is suddenly worthless? If I have to wait until NEXT YEAR for SP1, it'll still be worth it, because I still have something great (FS9) to fly in the meantime. Some people really need to get a grip. They act like these developers are teasing starving children. They're working on the program... when it's done, it's done. It's not like they're getting "enjoyment" from our misery. (and if waiting a few months for SP1 qualifies as misery, you got it pretty good!)Anonymous
