use search - not deleted Questions in the F-16 wishlist DELETED without any explanation

[Top Jockey]

Hello Wags, BIGNEWY, NineLine,

 

Yesterday I've posted at the thread below - regarding the SPOT / SCAN function for the AIM-9 in the F-16C.

(As there are no news on this for quite some time.)

As I recall :

- I've written in a corteous and polite manner

- used the already existing thread at the 'wishlist'

- even when others sometimes suggest, it should instead be in the 'bug section' - not so much to your liking

https://forum.dcs.world/topic/297187-f-16c-spot-scan-functions-for-aim-9-missile/

 

... however, in a not so polite maner, my specific post was deleted in complete silence, without any explanation.

So, as a long time loyal customer of yours, I ask: what was the issue ?

 

Best regards,

Pedro

" Not deleted " ?

Yesterday, I've posted at the thread below with:

- @ symbol as prefix to Wags, BIGNEWY, NineLine, as the thread as been continuously ignored

- asking for news about the SCAN function implementation for the AIM-9

 

... since the last post actually there is by user Zergburger from August 1, my yesterday post sure was deleted... as it isn't there anymore.

I suggest archiving posts in the event they are deleted.

No need for that, anyone can notice :

- they say "not deleted" ... however they can't point where the post was moved / merged to.

I found the issue, it seems some bumps were deleted and the thread returned to its normal posting date.  I have acknowledged that we will look at it, that said bumping is not allowed, wishlist is a wishlist bumping doesnt make anything happen faster or bump your hopes to the front of the line. I have locked the thread now.

I see you have a new thread and I have acknowledged that we will look at it, that said bumping is not allowed, wishlist is a wishlist bumping doesnt make anything happen faster or bump your hopes to the front of the line. 

 

Thank you for your reply.

Didn't intend to make anything happen faster, neither could I as I'am no developer.

I merely posted a question in a thread; asking you, Wags and Bignewy if there was any forecast, on when would a given function be implemented.

Got no answer at all, and instead as you just confirmed... my post was indeed deleted.

 

Being a long time and loyal ED / DCS fan and customer, getting posts deleted in this (not so courteous) fashion didn't suit well with me, so from my part, next modules buys are canceled for a while.

 

Best regards,

I thought ED sees us as a community, not just as buyers.

Disappointing .

Hello,

I can understand that running a forum has its own quirks and might not always be an easy task.

But still, some fairness, diplomacy and a little grasp that not every user here are young kids, is also needed.

Regarding the stickers:

"not deleted, use search" - it was deleted afterall.

"bump spamming" - is that what they call it when people post a question, on a long forgotten matter ?

 

No problem at all, my intentions for the A-10C II, AH-64D, F-4 Phantom II and others, are also 'deleted' for a while.

This is ED's forum and your post was deemed unneeded. It's not like you were insulted or got any warning points, you got your answer eventually, so why holding a grudge?

Hello draconus,

Far from me to try to tell any company how they should run their web forums, obviously.

No 'grudge' or anything like that.

It's only that, as a long time customer it doesn't suit well with me getting questions deleted in a not so corteous fashion, when trying to know news from specific stuf of my interest / curiosity.

 

See - right there in your bold lies your answer :

- I didn't post any less cordial or less constructive afirmation, (I'm not the full pressure crowd that keeps ranting about development delays);

- I instead asked a question, fruit of my interest in a given avionics function ... now if you tell me that a question from a customer / fan is 'deemed unneded'...

 

But hey, this isn't such a big matter anyway.

All the best,

Pedro

Ok, I just wouldn't read much into it.

Happy flying!
