    I state my real feelings, I don't sugar coat anything like you. If I feel like saying 'omguh SUYF nub', then those are my true feelings for you, its not 'trolling' or 'flaming' its the truth.

    Alas, there are such things as tact in this world.

    He's being nice. I personally wouldn't post a 'Thank You' thread, as there are some great people involved in NS most of the community never hears of, but likewise I believe...

    'If you don't have anything nice to say....'

    ..... would be appropriate in this situation. Critique is applauded, criticism is not. There's a subtle difference.

    A flame is a flame, whether it's the truth or not.

    Even if someone WAS a n00b you have no right to go about shouting "OMG, N00b, n00b!!"

    It is common curtosy to NOT "State your true feelings" if those feelings might be considered offensive, on the net or anywhere else.

    Kthxbye.

    And thanks to coil, who has yet to lock any of my posts <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    No... If you want to state your true feelings, which are flaming (against the rules), do so elsewhere. This is a board, with moderators, and there are rules to follow. Simply put, this is like someone else's house. Do you up to the host of the party and say he looks like an old fart? No, not unless you are tactless or something.

    Oh yeah, and Vanill--I mean, coil is very, uh, yeah, Fade. Of the year.

    You have alot of nerve being such a jerk to people who are only pointing out that this was suspose to be a nice "Thank You" thread to one of the hardest working Mods, who takes alot of abuse.
    You had to turn it into your own little HIJACKED opinion fest!

    Thanks alot Vet

    Treat others as you would expect to be treated.

    I could swear 90% of your posts contain the sentence "Lock this thread up." Even if you weren't kind and courteous you could atleast TRY to be constructive as opposed to pretending to be some sort of quasi-moderator...

    Do you even know which mod you are putting down with your posts here? Coil does heaps for us on the forums, and is generally an active and fair mod, as well as being a creative and intelligent forumite himself (checked the creation forum group lately?). I can't see how you could find a fault with him and not with some of the other mods who can be a lot more harsh and a lot less fair at times...

    Actually, You've been a jerk for weeks...

    Time to go re-asess your life kid. You'll be welcome back here when you learn some self-control and simple courtesy.

    Take a week to think about it... if after that time you are still acting the idiot, we'll just remove you permanently from these forums...

    See... no sugar coating there. Just how you like it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Actually, you agreed to this when signing up to the forum:


    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->
    - Never, ever, under any circumstance, attack or "flame" anyone. Ever. No behavior is bad enough that warrants retaliation.

    - Remain friendly and civil at all times. Be helpful when possible. Treat others the way you would like to be treated.

    - Use of the NS forums or IRC channel is a privilege, not a right. NS community officials reserve the right to create the community we want to be a part of.

    - Swearing, and use of slurs about race or sexual-orientation are prohibited. Words that try to sneak around the swear filter are prohibited.

    - Slanderous, defamatory, false, obscene, indecent, lewd, pornographic, abusive, insulting, threatening, harassing or obnoxious comments are not appropriate in the NS community.

    - Any form of direct or indirect personal attack or harassment is prohibited.
    <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    So you have no right. In fact, you are breaking the forum rules.. consistently, and hopefully the Mods will give you a time-out to consider this.

    Being a "jerk" is nothing to be proud of. Standing up for your beliefs, yes, but being so caught up in yourself, and so weak in your confidence that you grasp any opportunity to use the anonymity of internet as a way to belittle others.. that's just weak. Common courtesy and social competence, integrity... that's quualities to be proud of. Being a jerk just means you feel so bad about yourself that you try to make others feel bad too, misery loves company.

    It is good to see threads like this. All of the devs and pts have made a huge commitment of time, money and resources into this incredible game, and they deserve every inch of praise they recieve. In fact, they deserve a whole heap more <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Natural Selection can stand up to almost any retail FPS out there and in most cases it will wipe the floor with them. To everyone involved in this project: you have done an incredible job. Kudos to you all. In fact, I'm sending off some cash right now with Constellation. Buy yourselves some pizza on me, kick back and have a party. You guys have been coding, testing and modding your arses off. Take some time off; you've all richly deserved it.
