BEWARE OF FACEBOOK FAN PAGE

[Guest russellbdavis]

Beware of what you have to say on the official MS Facebook fan page ( http://www.facebook.com/#!/msflight )If what you say isn't positive, they will delete your comment and block you from posting. So, unless you have something good to say, don't waste your time.I posted a comment to their claim that they have "resurrected" this title. I disagree; FLIGHT is not a resurrection of Flight Simulator, FS never died, they aren't resurrecting anything.So because I said that, they deleted the comment and now I can no longer post any comments. Thats a hellova way to treat their beta testers. As long as we express "their" viewpoint, then I guess its okay.

Oh yeah, does not give too good picture from them.

Weird. Seems most comments are negative towards their product and have been for quite some time and they've allowed those posts to stay. Heck, they're even allowing posts that promote competing products to stay on their wall. Wonder why they only delete some negative posts, but not all. Weird indeed. Thank you for the all caps warning.

I'm sure your comment was not as clean as it appears here.

That's what I believe. I don't think he's being completely honest with us :(

It's their "trainset" and it is, after all, supposed to be a "FAN" page... Some of those comments are definitely unworthy of the posters.

Russell?Are you sure you responded that way, or might you have been a little bit 'blue' with your comment?C'mon now... you can tell us!! It would not surprise me that MS might be trying to insulate themselves from some of the negative comments is all.Again, my insignificant opinion...

[Guest russellbdavis]

come on guys, I know better than that. :-) I didn't use any profanity or anthing.It was a post in response ot the Seattle Times article title "MIcrosoft rebooting Franchise"Here is the exact statement I read from the article (Feb. 8, 2012).Microsoft is resurrecting one of its oldest franchises, "Flight Simulator," with an entirely new game called "Microsoft Flight" that's debuting on Feb. 29.And all I said was this;"Resurrecting? Flight Simulator has been alive and well for over 25 years. This is nothing new."That was it...I just checked the fan page and looks like they removed the entire article now. It's no longer there.Here is a link to that article:http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/technologybrierdudleysblog/2017460350_qa_microsoft_flight_boss_on.html?cmpid=2628

It's true, I made some remarks that were not profane in any manner, nor hostile and the post was not allowed. MS is involved in serious damage control over the comments left on Facebook and Youtube.

Because then would be no comments left ;-)

[simmerhead 885]

Cowardly, but how long could one honestly expect them to take all the bashing. Damage control was in order, but it probably came too late...

Nah, can't be a "trainset". That was cancelled in 2009! :)

Ouch... :(As far as MS kicking bad press off their fan page... The first commandment, remember?1. Thou shalt worship no DOS but the one DOS and Emmess shall be his name.
