    I don't know if that's something that's feasible, to be honest. I will send the suggestion up, but I don't want anyone getting their hopes up.

    I sincerely apologize that you had to witness that arguing. I was frustrated and confused at the time, but I recognize that it was unprofessional to bring those frustrations into the discussion server. I could have handled the situation much better, and I regret that our conversation escalated into a back-and-forth exchange.

    That said, my perspective on the situation remains unchanged. While I accept responsibility for how I conducted myself, I still believe there are aspects of the situation on which we simply have different viewpoints, and I respect that we may have to agree to disagree.

    and yet he is still arguing…. You have my utmost sympathy and respect Candace if this is what you have to deal with day in and day out.

    I realized that now and I apologize. It was completely unprofessional to put that in a discussion setting in the public for everyone to be forced to witness.

    While I know this is an interesting discussion, just post it one to two times max. Don't derail this conversation as folks will find the post organically, and I don't want people to ignore this just because it's been posted a few times.

    At least I gave y'all a small glimpse into it, which is why I just left it alone and replied publicly. This is minor compared to some of the other stuff I see. Figured I would be clear and honest with everyone.

    I understand you don't want to give hopes, but at least you try to do you best. Thanks for that!

    Candice and I both agreed to stop arguing. Let's move on, please.

    I dont understand why a ban on one DTG medium doesnt equal a ban across all. Not issuing a carpet ban just means problems move over to another medium and youve said yourself the bar for banning is higher on the forums then it is on discord. Might explain a few things.

    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 different platforms.

    So the General Discussion section will STILL remain in the Train Sim Classic forum. D'oh!

    Whilst posted in humour I think this is both a brilliant and viable option!

    With all due respect Candace, closing down the GD section for TSW customers means many of us won't even want to use this forum afterwards so you waving the ban hammer around as a deterrent is a comically impotent threat.

    Closing General Discussion would kill this forum near instantly.
    Dovetail would not do any more damage than it already plans to.

    Has abusal potential, too. Someone could just make accounts and "run amok" in the name of someone else on one of the other platforms, just to get them banned everywhere.

    Can't remember where I read it, but I rather like the idea of merging the GD and OT forums and calling it 'Community Corner'. Especially if that forum has some additional community moderation (of which those of whom are responsible, cool-headed adults).

    …I guess what I was trying to get across is that forum members are posting that some of DTG product(s) are broken/not fit for purpose and this is causing potential buyers NOT to part with their money AND this is happening on DTG’s OWN forum ! it makes good business sense to shut this forum down…not agreeing just saying !

    So much drama. It's their forum and if they decide to have a pole dance section in it, what gives. I'd only miss the inputs from hundreds of beta-testers which guide me to a purchase (or not) decision.

    Good thing SimRail went Playstation.

    Just adding on, it isn’t always fair to assume someone is one and the same either, as people impersonate each other all the time. I also don’t mind letting people interact in a community and don’t want to just aggressively move to a ban unless they break the rules in a new place. I try to give folks a chance, personally.

    *Unless you literally ask for a ban, and tell me to do it. I’ll do it, but, will be sure.
