Just got a thread locked that was about the ridiculousness of the short 75 mm on the Stug IV, given its role as a tank destroyer (and the fact it just looks dumb), becuase I said whoever did this fopar was was the I word (not risking actually saying it again).
Now, while I could of been less inflammatory about the whole thing, it is interesting to note that I wasn’t aiming my thread at anyone in particular, I was just annoyed so little thought had gone into the design of the Stug IV, in that no one had seemed to consider the vehicles role or how silly such a small gun on a TD looked.
What I’m guess I’m trying to say is, what I learned today was, sometimes, when you shoot your mouth off into the wind, the wind can bite back. Think before you post.
You do know discussing moderation is also a violation of the rules, right?
I mean, You did actually read the rules.. Didn’t you?
Regarding the lock of your prior thread, If you refer to others as “idiots”, whether it is aimed at any specific person or not, It is unwelcome and nonconstructive, It can also be seen to be forum disruption and abuse if it were to be viewed that way.
It also goes against the forum guidelines in that we want the Battlefield forum to be a welcoming and inviting space for all whom wish to participate in discussions.
To expand a little further on this.. Here is a quote directly from the forum rules opening post.
So calling others ( be it Dev, EA staff, Moderators or other Users ) “idiots” is not treating others with respect and courtesy.
So please do not replicate this thread as the ability to create new threads will be revoked temporarily via a second level infraction.
