Gaia, @
Fjaer, unfortunately not everyone has been as polite about redirecting and we've had to adjust our stance some in order to reign in some of the problems that have been cropping up since the last registration window.
Saying "Oh hi, I see you're new, just in case you didn't know we have a Guides forum and it is over here" is different from "You shouldn't have posted here, this needs to be in Guides/Pinging a moderator to move this to Guides/stop posting this here/stop posting/etc." The former isn't going to get someone in trouble and is totally fine, the latter is mini-modding bordering on outright harassment.
Alerting someone to a tracked thread in Bugs is definitely okay as we need to keep all bug reports in one consolidated spot.
As for contacting mods, we prefer being notified now instead of players telling others what to do. As always, thread moderation is left up to the discretion of the moderator. The team is fairly on top of the forums and we catch the majority of the incorrectly posted threads.
Regarding sales threads, we are aware that there is a desire for sub-forums for Flight-only sales, as Xhaztol said that is going to take time; however, Flight forums are open for all types of threads. If there is forum content you wish to see, we encourage our players to create it - be it discussions, Flight forum games, etc.
@
Greyjoy, whenever there is an active bug, we track and monitor feedback in the Bugs forum. That is the first and best place to go for any information on bugs in the game. If we have information, we will most likely highjack the opening post with information for anyone coming into the thread after it hits double digit pages.
