You of course, are right.
When They tried to pass 3PV on us, after swearing til blue in the face that they didn't want ti themselves (though unlike the mouth breathers, I do know the initial posts on it left it OPEN for future debate), and the entirre community rages and posted 100 pages against, 1000s of no votes on the Poll... that was just noise.
When they tried to add pay only Consumables, and the community was able to get together in one spot and let the Devs know that we did not accept that, of course it was just noise.
When they again announced 3PV, thousands of voices saying we STILL didn't want it (even though, in the end, it changed nothing) was just noise.
After being roundly ignored when help tickets were sent, and the community raged on GD about the missile issues (TWICE that I am aware of), that too, was of course, just noise.
Because, of course, having a place where hot button topics, and easy gathering of people and info together, is just catering to the mouth breathing "PGI ATE MY BABY CROWD". Because having the ability to make Threadnaughts on large issues, or those repeat posts (which would be called a "TREND", dear sir, which supposedly is the only thing the Devs look for... and which now, conveniently cannot occur, as the new format allows the MODs to summarily dispatch any "Trends" as "repeat posts" and redirect us to a conveniently neutral "Official Post"... despite the part where the Devs said they don't read single Topic posts, but again, TRENDS) Do you see a trend developing here?
And no, the "draconian measures" were not justified, or they would, by definition, be "draconian". they are a rather blatant method of keeping the illusion that "everything is wonderful ALL the time in MWO land", and to make it well nigh impossible for the community to effective react and give voice to LEGIT complaints, when PGI or IGP step out of line, be it intentional, or the usual Ekman "shoot before aiming" method.
In short, your secret handshake club is in the end no different than the pre-pubescent Quasi-Anarcho Sydicates the lovely posts from KONG and others filled the Forums with toxin from, the only difference being, by all account that you are kissing PGI's azz instead of kicking it.

couldn't of said it better myself. The dev's listened to massive threads in General Discussion BECAUSE the community had ONE location to actually Discuss. Even if threads and opinions didn't go my way or mesh with my beliefs I valued the freedom of having a place to share...that place sadly is gone as well as the valuable feedback provided in it.
