What are you afraid of?

This is a free discussion forum on Freelancer. This is the place to discuss Freelancer issues NOT covered by the other boards!

What are you afraid of?

With all this locking of threads with normal discussions of this game? I never seen such a nervous community. I think a lot of guys here have followed this game for ages, salivating at every bit of rumour about the game and have invested so much emotions in it, that you feel you are getting personally attacked when someone doesn't love every aspect of the game. Hence you try to purge the forums from these evil people and their malicious slander of what is obviously a perfect game.

Keep it up fanboys. With guys like you giving input to DA, you can be assured Freelancer 2 will be as dissapointing as this one.

Oh, and you can lock this now. Please add the "if you want to discuss this e-mail me" thing in the lock message. Love that one.

Locking is Not deleting. Everyone can read everything you say, just not 100 times over.

I find that hard to believe, considering we don't believe it's perfect either.

Despite going against forum rules your post was almost half decent until you said this, which just makes it a troll thread. :

But you cannot discuss in a locked topic. Hence someone starts a new one and try to discuss in there. But then the moderator comes in and says "there are other threads dealing with this" (ignoring the fact that they have locked them all so no one can ever discuss in them). Catch 22. Only gush about the game, or the threads will be locked.

Most of the guys who see both positive and negative sides of the games are very calm and very balanced. The only abuse I see on these forums is the fanboys who calls everyone who dares to not adore absoutely everything about this computer game trolls all the time. And the moderators do their fair share of abuse with all this locking of interesting discussions (of course they are polite about it, but that hardly makes it better).

This is a community where you aren't allowed to discuss the game, unless you praise everything about it. You guys seem scared to death. Perhaps because you know deep down that those who feel the game could have been so much better actually have a valid point?

Who cares if you like it or not.. Thats your right. I just don't see much point in you hanging around the game's frickin' fansite to apparently cause trouble.

He is a troll, no doubt of that. But he is right. I might be a newbie to THIS community, but locking out threads which were infact written by either FANS or Trolls. The game is alrigt, but its not perfect, not even great. Just Ok - Good. No its good, its not as bad as OK.

I used to hate weddings; all the Grandmas would poke me and say, "You're next sonny!" They stopped doing that when i started to do it to them at funerals.

Oh, I won't. This place is very uninteresting. Every topic where people actually discuss this game and the genre are locked. All the threads that repeat praise never get locked. Why would I want to stay on a discussion forum where you can't discuss?

And what have I done to cause trouble? I tried to discuss this game in a very calm and rational manner. I descibed the games strenghts and weaknesses, and explained why I felt that way. I did not attack anyone. The only ones abusing people here are the mods and the regulars. It almost seems to be a sect-like atmosphere here, where no one is allowed to have a view that isn't that of the moderators.

Anyway if you want to discuss this more feel free to e-mail me.

Also postings wich in nature are against the topic of this site, eg. Freelancer or Starlancer, run the potential risk of getting deleted unless they are not "bashing" in nature and well argumented. If you feel you where unrightfull censored, mail Bargib, and he might look into it


I believe the terms "fanboy" and "abusive moderators" are not part of a "well-argumented" point. Too many trolls have come to the forums, so we're getting serious about limiting their exposure. For now, we're locking topics. We will start deleting posts soon. Read the FAQ's before posting please.

Right, come to a fan site and call us all Fanboys ...that's not trolling? Please...

Post Thu Feb 27, 2003 6:57 pm

actually, you're attacking every mod and regular in this thread.

Post Thu Feb 27, 2003 6:59 pm

the main reason that treads are locked is because there is never any thing new said. Each, flame fulled, post is almost identical to the one preceding it. They may as well be :

I dont think the game is perfect, and I dont think any game ever will be, but considering all that has happened during Freelancers development, I am just glad its not as bad as daikatana
