Well, I fully understand your point but on the other hand..it's a good tactic, prevents just anyone from joining the forums and start spam posting...and also " Mods " are spending more time just answering questions to their product..
If I remember correctly " VRS " is just a small group of individuals forming this company and have devoted many many long hours putting together their product..they just don't have the resourse's like companies ie: UbiSoft, Blizzard and so forth to hire a huge staff to monitor forum proceedings..
Same goes for ED/DCS as they too are a fair size company they too can't afford a large group to hire to monitor they forums..but luckily they have devoted Simmers who police it for them..thats what make's ED/DCS so great..members who really care....
Just my thoughts on this..:music_whistling:
