I understand where you're coming from TBO. I'm not sure when SoS displayed some understanding of the game, and I've frequently heard GPG employees asking noob questions in chat, but that's entirely beside the point of my original post and this post as well.

This is much closer to the point I was making, ironically. Complaints, criticism, and even insults about a
unit shouldn't be capable of causing prejudice against a dev! If there is a problem with the unit, he should want to hear about it. If the unit is good, he should want to hear about it. If I (or any other of the chronically negative people he references) truly though supcom sucked, why the hell would we be on the forums, spending time writing about unit balance and how to improve the game?
but the message he delivers is clear, and this should answer Miktor's question as well. Criticism that is voiced in terms that do not include trolling (and seriously, look up what trolling is, read some of RDon's posts about Strategy or brent_w's L2P posts and it should be very very clear that my post above is no example of it, and Pecos! Pecos is inhumanly polite in every one of his posts, even when dealing with noobs. Anyone who has seen the forums a tenth as much as SoS should have knows this. Trolling is not required to jeopardize an account anymore. It seems that criticism of unit balance is in and of itself now a reason to be banned.
I post because I think SoS's power trip (and the conclusion 1 sentence up from this that results from it) is in serious danger of preventing legitimate criticism from reaching people. Pecos! If the new mass fab nerf in FA is not a result of his economic rants, it very well could be. But his post was
deleted and branded as trolling. If no negative feedback is allowed to be given, FA will surely ruin the game, given how 1 imba unit can seriously skew gameplay in and of itself.
P.S. I appreciate the comments but please keep this thread free of mercy debate, the fact that this debate can no longer occur in the GPG forums is the intended focus, not the debate itself
