PR skills from EA and Moderators/ Beta testing community....

Two things two bring up ... Firstly, I have to point out that PR skills from moderators and EA Team members aren't exactly up to scratch especially when it comes to reporting game and bug issues. T...

@Bluebellflora Ah, i did not state that Mac users are experiencing the lag issue worse than windows users. What i said was that it appears that Mac and console users are experiencing similar issues. I also said that this was based on a perusal of the the mac and console forums. If you do not wish to follow up for yourself, that is your problem - not mine. There is a big difference between saying "appears" and what you are claiming i said. Here you are making an assumption based on incorrect evidence. Now i am correcting you. Will this response now be deleted because i dared to do so, just like my last post in the bug section dealing with patch 1.88 has been suddenly deleted? If so, then that is a "Helper" taking on a moderator role.

@crinrict why was my previous response to this deleted? In no way did i criticize you or anyone. I simply explained the way people have been addressed/ the assumptions that have been made based on incomplete data and how things are done in the normal world. There was no need to delete the post just because you did not agree with it. That is taking on a moderator role and is not being helpful in the slightest.

@taffster74 I don't know. I don't delete posts. Again, not a moderator. All I do is merge threads that are the same and move threads that were posted in the wrong forum and edit titles to make them more clear.

I'm guessing someone must have reported it or a CM saw it and removed it.

Since I can't edit atm, double posting: I actually find your post pretty offending. I actually wanted to reply to it and then it was gone.

@crinrict like i said, i never criticized or denigrated anyone in the post. I simply pointed out that making assumptions based on incomplete data is not the cleverest of things to do. Yes, I did ask for proof to confirm assumptions that have been made (AMD compatibility, Windows 10 compatibility) but i was not rude about it. Nor did i threaten anyone, rather i stated that in today's litigious mentality any could sue anyone for anything but that's not a path I personally would take. I think someone - whoever it was - took things a little to far and over exerted their authority. Not good.

@crinrict please define offensive. Is it simply the language difference or something further? You've said in your post on what the bugs forum is about that you would like for people to explain to you if they felt offended by something you may have said. That goes both ways.

@crinrict , i seem to be getting a number of kudos to my posts, so obviously not everyone is finding what i'm saying offensive. Again, just as you've asked people to let you know if they've taken something you've said the wrong way (offensively) so you can clear the air on the matter, please do me the same courtesy. I can accept that i can come across a bit on the strong side, but I don't deliberately go out of my way to offend people.

@taffster74

This really is not rocket since, but because you are not getting it I will write it out.

Nobody here is saying this problem is anything but a problem with the latest patch.

All @crinrict and others are trying to do is narrow down on which systems and on which hardware this problem occurs so that reproducing the problem becomes easier.
There is no fix if Maxis can't reproduce the isuue.

@taffster74 I find it offensive that you accused me of removing your post without even knowing what happened and put it like I just petty reacted by removing your post.

@crinrict look, I've explained that I never criticized you or anyone. I simply asked you why as you seemed to the one person dealing with the matter. And i ask for clarification. That's all. If you take offense to that, simply pm me and we can discuss this privately. Again, i never criticized you or anyone. I am sorry if you feel i have criticized you. Again, contact me through pm and - hopefully - we can straighten this out.
