Use of the Voting System

Friends, might I have one minute of your time to discuss something important to every one of us.

 

Up Votes almost always have a positive impact in a forum community, but I've never been a fan of allowing Down Votes as this frequently lead to problems.

 

Our forums are here for everyone to enjoy, and for that to occur there has to be structure, and that requires oversight and management. If we didn't have this, our forums would quickly become a place that would not be beneficial to the community - it could be chaos.

 

Aerosoft moderators are the people who work to keep the forums as a source of information, technical support and discussions about simulation software, and they operate via directives from Aerosoft on how, what and when to perform their duties.  They have a difficult, often thankless job, and they sometimes have to make decisions unpopular with a very small segment of our user base.

 

It should go without saying that Aerosoft takes a very dim view on users down voting moderators for doing what Aerosoft asks them to do, yet a few people in our forums continue to do this.  In short, this is highly disrespectful to those who are often some of the most seasoned and experienced people in the flight sim community and give no small amount of their precious time to help others.

 

We also do not wish to see down votes or negative posts/replies used as a means to attack, demean, pick on, or bully other users. Everyone is welcome in our forums, provided they conduct themselves in a positive manner and is respectful to others.

 

Many thanks to those who's positive contributions help to make our forums a welcome, friendly and informative venue in the Flight Simulation community - and that's what we are here, a community!

 

Thank you for your time.
