So the thing with our forums is this:

1: Contrary to what people will think, I for one surf almost every single post that is thrown up (YES THAT IS A LOT), sometimes I reply, sometimes I write notes down or cut and paste a comment and screen name into a document I have to feed up in reports we submit regularly.

2: Those reports, believe it or not, get high visibility (VERY high).

3: If we or the moderating team lock a thread, usually it's because nonconstructive communication is occurring. People are flaming each other, people are dragging the topic off into the wild, basically, the topic has run it's course.

4: There are people on these forums that come here literally to just troll, we know who those people, it's the online culture. Some of these players literally do not play the game but still comment on mechanics and how to play, though the game has changed immensely.

These forums, for me at least, are a better venue for us in the community team to communicate with you. If you have a poor experience, good experience or want to share something that is amazing, then this is the place (or forum ). The key here, and I wish the forums had a pop up the first time someone comes into them is to take them with a grain of salt. I have seen comments in this thread that are ridiculous, though on topic. On how the mechanics are, how people SHOULD play etc, that I feel personally are not necessarily correct. But they are someone's opinion and everyone is allowed to have their own opinion.

My point, with all this said this is a game. And THIS is the forum for the game, people shouldn't get all worked up over it and the golden rule should apply, if you don't like being flame sprayed, don't do it to others.

Be a community, and enjoy. With all that said, Thank you, EVERYONE, for being here and for sharing your interest in the World of Warships community.

Mahalo,
