The Discovery team would like to ask everyone not to promote either Discovery mod or server forums belonging to other Freelancer game servers, or in-game on other server. Freelancer player base is shrinking and it's not really a nice attitude towards the other mods and/or servers to pull their players over to Discovery. Everyone has the right to choose freely the mod they like without being pushed to. We do allow advertizing of other Discovery servers on this forum (which is nothing bad), and we do allow to advertize other mods and servers in the form of forum threads in selected forum sections. So, if you like to post anything Discovery-related on forums belonging to other communities, you should follow similar rules that exist in those communities.
Also, please do not fall for provocations. Never participate in any flame wars related to Discovery on other forums, and never start those wars. Like it's said on our main page announcement, our members and our team should be setting an example of correct and friendly behaviour, regardless of what other communities do to us (and to others).
Some creators of other FL mods (we prefer not to be specific) experience bad feelings when people from other communities request features from their mods to be added into Discovery mod. Please respect that. Try to imagine that you invented something great, you spent a lot of time on it and you would like to enjoy it exclusively, at least for a while. Some people might have different points of view, but the authors' one matters in this case.
Badmouthing or critisizing other mods on these forums also doesn't help anyone even if this was a neutral ground which of course it isn't. We already requested the moderators to be especially attentive of discussions related to other mods.
Now, I'm leaving this thread open for your comments, just bear in mind that all these issues had a negative impact on the reputation of Discovery Gaming Community within the whole Freelancer Community and that's definitely not what we want. We should stay together to keep Freelancer alive for as long as possible and therefore we should respect each other.
