Question for MODS

[Nial Black Knee]

Why are you guys so swift to move and close patch issue posts. As long as the posts aren't breaking any of the rules. God knows Iv'e seen many posts with totally bad lang.
as well as several other fopas continue for hours. But someone starts a patch bitch and boy your there right away. Is CA telling you
to sqaush patch complaints, and worse yet are you listening. Complaining about the non-existent patch should not be something you should sqaush. However cosey you are with CA!

stick around awhile, you'll see.

check out the off topic forums.

it's difficult sometimes deciding what should and should not be closed, deleted, and/or left alone.
the whole patch-thread closing thing is seems to be my own tilting-at-windmills crusade; anywhere from 5 to 10 show up each day. Most are simple questions asking when it's going to be out, the rest are usually rants. It's a matter of whether these threads are productive: if I close them individually with a message at the end with an update on patch info (usually nothing) it's better than if I wait a week and have to close 50 patch threads that've stalled out at around 2-3 replies each since nothing new has transpired since.
New news: There is a patch thread that will be perpetually left open (barring cursing, et al) members can use.
