I am not picking on you in particular, it's just that you may not be aware that recently we stopped these W.I.P threads from being created, and closed down the WIP thread of another major mod. Existing threads were allowed to continue as long as the general behaviour within those threads stayed civil.
I don't think
w1n1x is particularly angry with you, he is however acutely aware of what has happened to the other WIP threads, and doesn't want to see this one close.
What causes the most arguments?
Being asked constantly about when it will be released. Other members and modders stick up for the modder or mod team, stating that it is a challenge to get it right and it takes time. Others are keen to get hold of it, so tend to ask quite regularly when will it release? Or ask how far along is the development?
These are generally innocent questions and seem quite reasonable, but they often turn into circular arguments.
- When will it be ready? - When I've finished it
- Do you have an idea when? - No, it takes time, and I do have a life
- So maybe is it 60%, 80%, 90% done? - Stop asking questions, it will be done as soon as I can, and it's fully tested
- Any idea when that will be? - OMG, goto 1
Do a couple of loops, plus a few others jump in, people get angry, things are said that really shouldn't be said - Hey Presto! ...... thread closed.
Of course I am not saying that you are like that ....... just highlighting a possibility of what could happen, all stemming from a few innocent questions
Oh, and questioners are not the only problem, IMHO the modders have opened themselves up to this sort of time pressure, by creating the WIP thread in the first place. No thread = No pressure
