I honestly don't disagree with any of this, but just a bit of perspective. How difficult is it to simply scroll past a few superfluous posts (or even superfluous pages) you don't think add much value and then get on with life?
No one is getting injured here, and the artists we're so anxious to protect, have a tremendous vehicle through our forum from which to promote their work which costs them nothing except a little patience at times.
Disrespect and Vulgarity is different, but those can be separated from just having a bit of fun... which is why we're all here.
I'm equally concerned at the idea of putting off folks like Mandible, who put in a lot of work to help us visualize the tweaks that help these skilled individuals get that much closer to a great release (at least when you're working with a pro like Jnix), by folks who seem obsessed with policing this thread.
I just don't think its that heavy a lift to ask people to put up with or ignore posts they don't like on an internet thread (and I'm sure THIS post qualifies for some of you :rotfl)!
Anyway, Jnix is awesome, love his work, can't WAIT for this to come home!
