My issue is not just that the moderators are rude, but also that the majority of users on the forum are very rude and offensive too. The first reply to this thread is a good example of that.

It's sad because often the behaviour of people on a forum is shaped by the behaviour of the moderators. You only need to look at competitors forums to see how it works. Look a Stardock or something, the moderation is silent, and devs post and are friendly and inclusive, and the mood of the entire forum is constructive and friendly. But trolling breeds more trolling, and when the moderators themselves are rude and snooty and seem to revel in their power trips, it's no wonder that the whole place becomes so hostile.

My issue is not just that this report is sounds like a baby cry, but also that the majority of users on the forum, including myself, never encountered with rudeness and offence, especially from moderators. If you did - maybe its you who doing something wrong.

I agree that the moderators are often shorter than they perhaps absolutely need to be, have made what I consider to be mistakes. That said, you are a GUEST in those forums. You AGREED to the rules when you joined, no matter how draconian or unfair you feel they are:

I do not believe that being a paying customer *entitles* you to *anything* - other than: access to the product you purchased (probably the Alpha, Beta and Full versions of Arma3), and the protections as a customer spelled out in the Steam and BI Terms and Conditions you agreed to when you made your purchase.

I suggest you suck it up this time. Accept that the BIStudio forums work differently to the forums you're used to. Re-read the rules. Decide whether access to the forums is worth abiding by them. Then - if you still want to be involved in the forums - PM a moderator and: apologise for any misunderstandings, politely explain that you have re-considered and are willing to follow the rules, and ask if your account would be unbanned.

Please only report game bugs and request features here. If you have a problem with the BI forum moderators, you'll need to contact Placebo.

Closing.
