It was a simple example not meant to be seen as exactly the same. Once a "bad" post is deleted... it's no longer there. People later can't see it...
Way to gloss over the point. Please go back and consider what was said. Thank you.
This is where it can be counter productive to be too proactive. Any dispute "disappears" and no one ever sees.it, making it look like there is...
It's an... average TSW release. Not spectacular. Not terrible. I'm sure the rivet counters will find their things to dispute. For the casual...
It can be used more than once. There's only a small number of air horns in use across thousands of locomotives in North America. I agree. It...
It's 100% not. Confusing a 4 axle and a 6 axle is a rookie railfan mistake. =-)
There's no name calling happening on the alternate forum thread... the opposite in fact. Maybe you're confused with another one?
It's all just marketing. Is it "immoral" to release a new car every year? The "Chevy Silverado 2013" was followed by the "Chevy Silverado 2014"...
This conspiracy theory makes the HUGE, unfounded assumption that you "lose" money when offering a "free upgrade." Two problems with that. a) Very...
Again, I don't see the major issue. It's a very low-stakes position. No pay. No benefits. No connection to the company. Limited actions available....
I get what you're saying... but that's the good part of volunteer moderation, you're not on a fixed schedule with tiny number of mods. Also, by...
Are duplicate threads the REAL huge issue? A thread that's not commented on just drops off quickly and one that is getting commented on is popular...
People are human. Sometimes honest criticism does appear as "mean" even if it's honest. If I say well, you can't get a date because you're fat......
The poll is pretty clear Rail Sim Community was the choice. We'll register the name and get the software to run it. Thank you for doing the setup...
My concern there is that there's already a "Depot" specifically for Run 8 players. That's kind of why I wanted something a little more signature...
I don't get what half of those are referring to so... not sure others would either =-)
Can we get yellow and red flags too? And a proper conductor's hat too of course.
Just start commenting on another thread man and let this one cool down for a bit.
Depends on who you ask. It's kind of like asking "what car can drive nice?" Well almost any car CAN drive nice in some situations.
I'd guess because they're not interconnected, people use different names and it'd be a helluva lot of work to chase the same person across 6...
Third Rail Sim Community is unique and descriptive but kind of long =-)
No offense, but the open discussion area are doesn't need in depth insights into the inner workings of DTG from the moderation team. If DTG folks...
We're running a poll on what to call the new forum here if anyone is interested...
I put up a poll for people to give their choice.
I'm leaning towards the former, but I'll take the latter if that's what people want. Which is it folks, Third Rail Depot or Rail Sim Community?
Something along these lines, yes!
I'll help however I can, money, moderation, etc. I think it's a great idea to have even if DTG do come to their senses. Emmy_MAN, what do you need...
Community moderation. Almost like what we've suggested for this place. =-)

Dammit ya sold me! Although I do like a good EMD anyway. =-)
Yes and no. They can more easily find and delete it there, but more importantly if they don't want feedback on something they just... don't post...
I noticed run 8 uses "The Depot" for one of their forums. I do like "Rail Sim Depot" though. I also like "Third Rail"... it could be the nickname...
I'm not saying that's the goal. I don't know. However, OTHER games have tried to "moderate" player interaction (reduce) while "maximizing sales."...
We're discussing a new alternate backup forum on the other thread if anyone is interested. Come on over and throw in your two cents.
You say that... but when I was first looking into TSW about 90% or more of the google searches were back to this forum.
That's how reality works. Except there really is no special advantage to a "like" except that it's the digital equivalent of someone visibly...
I like "Third Rail" because it's dangerous but necessary for an electric train to function, just like honest open discussion. Depot I like because...
Preferably from those who have had a chance to grab and use it? Give us the Good, Bad and the Ugly! =-)
I think that's a very generous offer, Emmy_MAN. I like Third Rail and Depot... Third Rail Depot? =-) I've been on forums but never hosted one....
I honestly think this is one of the FRIENDLIER forums I've seen. If people think THIS is rude and insulting, I have no idea what their life...
Two entirely different platforms for different purposes. It's like saying "we can close stop selling TSC because we have TSW."
Easier to search old threads too for answers. Plus they come up on google.
An active fanbase is its own blessing and curse. While the crowd can get wild, it's also their greatest marketing tool, not because of the...
That's a great point. Like the community discussion of the Class 70 or the Crewe to Preston route. I THINK that's useful to DTG and Devs to point...
Who would join the new alternative, who could help create and who could help moderate? Anyone know what the options are? Sites, cost, etc?
Separate names with a comma.
