Sous Chefs, Forum Corruption, topics deletion
Dear All,
I am aware that there has been an issue in the forums for a while now. Topics are being deleted and people are not being told why. Also fellow members of the forums are then criticizing sous, for not doing there job properly. THIS HAS GOT TO END, AND WE NEED THE FORUMS TO BE ADMINISTRATED PROPERLY. I PERSONALLY AM NOT BIASED AND DO NOT AGREE WITH EITHER SIDE OF THESE ARGUEMENTS. Sous and members alike are now cluttering reopened threads with complaints of deleting posts and closing threads, So instead of cluttering threads with a purpose, here is where you can sort things out, and fix things up.
MAKE THIS A STICKY IF YOU THINK IT NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSED GRATELY AND THAT ALL THE NEW THREADS MADE COMPLAINING ABOUT WHY THERE OTHER THREAD WAS DELETED CAN BE MERGED IN HERE
Just trying to sooth and heal the issue,
Jack

Just joking.

I think sous chefs are brilliant and should get paid or a free pro licence . But that's mainly because my pro licence is nearly up for renewal.

I know how important this is due to being a hardcore gamer and admin of many game servers, as well as website admins. It is important to "Maintain the peace".
Because of my experience, I am always wanting to make peace, but I can see how others do not want to do this. When I say Make Peace, I mean ending the conflict, making sure no one gets hurt.
Anyway, just something I needed to say. :P

I respect Darren but whats with that?
He was able to post his marketplace. I just contacted SSS
cheers.
For me it sounds weird that you would have GS pay the sous because they are doing their job.
Sure, it is a lot of work but, like I said for me, it sounds bad. I would do it because I want to, and it helps the community, not because I want to get Pro.
If they do pay them, giving them Pro and others find out about that, they, the non-sous, WILL want to become sous chefs because they want the money, not because they want to do their job.
Like I said in my previous post,
I am an admin of our gaming website, and our game servers. Why? Because I like to help in which ever way I can, not because I hope I will get paid some day, or because I like having the power.
Don't take any of this personally, Just clearing my head. :P

Free pro licence would obviously be cool but I don't think any of us do it for any reward like that. We just all like the software and are addicted to the forum, and as such we like to help and answer questions, close threads if they get too hostile and delete spam. It may not be perfect but it's not bad.
SSS is doing a great job at giving quick answers when he can.
Great response, Stormy.

for example, someone just join 3 hrs ago reply to 1 year old thread, and s chef just come in and close and didn't tell the member that you should start a new thread etc.
and yes the chefs work hard, and should get paid if the GS team thinks they are doing the great a job.

yes we should be able to talk about other engines without some sous chef saying "you wanna discuss corona? go to the corona forums ::closes the thread::"
I agree with TSB about being able to bring an idea to life within SECONDS with GS. can't do that so easily with corona. well, easy yea (in terms of smaller coding), but not EASIER than GS.
its extremely immature that we can't talk about other engines in the misc. section. but maybe its part of their jobs? (forum rules?) idk all i know is this:
the problem is obviously here and been here for a while now. so here is the bigger question...
What happens now?
Ultimately Most of our moderation issues would be solved if GameSalad would set some solid rules for the Forum as well as give the moderators some rules to be followed amongst themselves.
One mans opinion of course.
Hopefully something happens for the better.

As an aside, here are the things I personally hate the most about certain forum activity: (1) people that bump their own thread without waiting at least an hour (probably should wait at least 3 hours); (2) people that demand help from others, rather than asking nicely for assistance; (3) people that don't at least search the forums and the Wiki before asking a basic question that is answered already (my apologies, I know I have done that at least once); (4) people that say they are leaving to go to another SDK because GS "sucks" or other such pointless (imo) remarks (don't see how that is helpful to any real discussion of the merits of either SDK); (5) people that ask for opinions about their game and then don't seem to take to heart (or at least appreciate) constructive criticism; (6) when its gets so serious (I personally like the most posts that make me laugh or that make me see a different way of thinking or doing something); (7) spam. Just my list of hated items. Overall though, I really love the forums and appreciate the Sous Chefs and GS actively participating.
There are really great community members here and lots of valuable information, but it gets overshadowed by nonsense and heavy-handed antics.
As far as your list. Its like our minds are one. Wow.
