When I first set this part of the forum up I posted an announcement.
viewtopic.php?f=68&t=18192I suggest all of you go back and read it. It is only a paragraph. If this is going to be a peeing contest constantly I am just going to delete it and you can go to trainsim.com and pee and moan over there as they like that kind of stuff. I have been trying since I got here to keep the place civil and positive as much as it can be. It is the hardest job I ever had. At this point I would rather be back in Nam.
Everyone who plays these sims knows what is wrong with them, but a lot of people do not mind. We do not have to be constantly reminded of this fact. A lot of people of having fun with them regardless of the problems. A lot of people do not consider the producers of the software monsters who just want our money. Every trainsim we have has something wrong. MSTS, Open Rails, Railworks, TSW, Run 8, Trainz and all the others that a lot of you bring up. You can not compare one to another as they all have different scopes. None are perfect and bug free.
As for this forum, it appears to me that all it has become is a scapegoat from the problems with Railworks. All the complaining has shifted from RW to TSW. Well RW still has problems as do the others I listed. Get over it and have some fun for a change.
I get so tired of reading reports that someone is trashing the sim or the creators or both. Or trashing them because they like a certain sim which is not very good in someone else's mind.
At trainsim.com, you can pretty much say anything and it is OK. On Steam you can really say ANYTHING you like and even start small wars about it. No one cares what you say there except other people. Little to no moderation happens there. At Railworks America, a positive attitude is required. Those of us who are, are having fun and getting a lot of enjoyment out of our sims. Nothing is perfect in this world. I do not understand why you would expect a piece software to be perfect or the humans that make it for that matter.
While I am at it, there is also no reason for anyone to be making snide remarks to other users. We are all humans, none of us are perfect. Some people have thinner skins than others and they are getting abused with garbage talk about them. Then they report it to me. I am tired of being the POLICE as I want to enjoy my sims and this forum too! It is becoming too hard of a job.
I do not want to start banning people. Only a hand full of people have ever been banned from RWA, they really deserved it. Like I said I do not want to be the POLICE of the forums. I want all of you to act civil to each other and enjoy the sims and the forums in peace. Not enter a war zone.
Think before you post.
